Jennette McCurdy has written a third book. It\u2019s not a memoir, like I\u2019m Glad My Mom Died<\/a>, which was her first book. And it\u2019s not a novel, like her second book, Half His Age<\/a>. This book is a \u201cguided journal\u201d called The Examined Year. If she continues this way, I\u2019m just excited to find out what genre her fourth book is going to be.<\/p>\n

McCurdy announced the new journal on Monday on X, alongside photos of herself holding the book. She wrote in the post that The Examined Life is her way of helping those who have supported her writing \u201cin big and small ways\u201d to live the lives they have always dreamed of, just like her. She created the book, \u201cto help you identify your core values, build goals that honor those values, and take honest stock of your life month by month and season by season, pivoting accordingly as you gain insight and learn more about yourself,\u201d McCurdy wrote. She continued that she \u201cdesigned every piece of this journal with you in mind,\u201d from pressure-testing the prompts to sifting through samples of vegan leather and paper qualities. McCurdy concluded in her post, \u201cWe\u2019re going to reflect. We\u2019re going to learn about ourselves. And we\u2019re all going to write this one together.\u201d The journal is out on December 8, and is available for pre-order now.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t deny that McCurdy has kept up a pretty impressive writing schedule over the years. Maybe the secret to publishing so regularly is in this planner.<\/p>\n
