The Diary of Darcy J. Rhone by Emily Giffin

The Diary of Darcy J. Rhone 
After having read both Something Borrowed & Something Blue by Emily Giffin, and absolutely falling in LOVE with them both, I couldn't help but jump up and down with excitement when I read somewhere that Emily Giffin had written a PREQUEL to this lovely series!  And not only was there another book in the series, but it was also FREE!!!  Yup that's right, yet another fabulous book (okay, so in this case SHORT story) offered for FREE on AMAZON!!
Got to LOVE Amazon!! Right??

Well anyway, The Diary of Darcy J. Rhone is a short Prequel (only about 75 pages) (and only available through Ebook, as of right now, I believe) of the story of none other than Darcy, who was featured in both Something Borrowed & Something Blue, but was the Main Character in Something Blue.  

In Diary of Darcy J. Rhone is the story of Darcy at the age of fifteen-eighteen.  It's an inside look of how truly witchy Darcy was back in her good-old high school days.  She's growing up, losing her V-card, and going from one boyfriend to next...typical Darcy, right??
All I've got to say is...Thank God for Something Blue!!

My Rating:

Overall, I really enjoyed this one, because it was interesting and fun getting into Darcy's head, especially because it was written in the form of her personal diary entries. 
If you've read the first two books in the series (Something Borrowed review here! & Something Blue Review here!) then I highly recommend this one.  Like I said above it's super short, and an easy read.  AND FREE!! :)

Happy Friday Tomorrow!! :)

Hey Everyone!! I am SOOO Close to my yearly goal of reading 50 books, that this is so happening this year!!!! ONE MORE TO GO!!! Anyway, this time around I read The Geography of You and Me  by one of my favorite authors, Jennifer E. Smith! From  Goodreads : Lucy and Owen meet somewhere between the tenth and eleventh floors of a New York City apartment building, on an elevator rendered useless by a citywide blackout. After they're rescued, they spend a single night together, wandering the darkened streets and marveling at the rare appearance of stars above Manhattan. But once the power is restored, so is reality. Lucy soon moves to Edinburgh with her parents, while Owen heads out west with his father. Lucy and Owen's relationship plays out across the globe as they stay in touch through postcards, occasional e-mails, and -- finally -- a reunion in the city where they first met. A carefully charted map of a long-distance relationship, Jennifer E. Smith's new novel

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnects with succe

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo Cabret I didn't have to imagine.  T
