As I mentioned on a previous blog I picked up three books the other day. I dove into Prep with the idea that this would be a great little boarding school, sorority-esque, boys and parties kind of book. IT'S NOT!! I mean, it has a grosgrain belt on the cover - how misleading. The character is not preppy, she goes to prep school where I might add she is a giant dork and has one friend. Please. I myself was not Miss. Popularity but I had more than A friend. I rocked it out in college though - and I was secretly hoping that it would be a fun read, a'la Friday night 80's at Cameron's fun. I have 100 pages left so I will finish it, but I do not suggest it. If you are that interested, save your money, I will loan it out.
So when I went back today I noticed that they still had some Meg Cabot books. I picked up A Size 14 Is Not Fat Either.
 I have heard some good things about Meg Cabot so I thought it may be worth checking out. For 50% off I could see no other reason but to buy it. Now, I cannot judge - and no I did not read into while at the store because there were all sorts of people there, in my way so I could not study, it was impulse decision. From what I can tell, this may be a part of a series of which I am starting in the middle and from what I can gather the main character is a former pop star who is now a dorm mom and tries to solve a murder...

I will have to give it a go this weekend, or sometime soon.
I also picked up Sweeney Todd
 which should be good because I heard nothing but good things about the movie and play but I hope they don't speak in Ye Old English or that will drive me INSANE. I'm not much for period pieces.

I think I need to lay off purchasing books for a while. So far I have bought five in the last week and my bedside table was already full of them before - but still nothing keeping me interested for any long period of time. I need to get through that first!!!

You were so popular in college that i didn't even call it 'popular.' i called it 'being jill.'
i want to be 'jill' and have lots of friends and go to parties.
i'm not kidding.
I did rule then didn't I.
only absolutely. and with an iron fist.
I can't bring myself to pick up a book after reading the whole Twilight series- it would so just be a rebound book.
Hayley -
It thrills me to no end that you are reading my blog.
FYI - I read yours daily!!!!
Twilight has scarred me until the end of time.
The other night on TMZ they played a 5 second clip, I kept rewinding and lying to my husband that something was wrong with our TiVo which is why it kept going backwards.
I need a support group!
