Babe in Boyland by Jody Gehrman Review

Babe in Boyland caught my attention just by the story!  It's about Natalie and her quest to figure out the mystery of the boy's mind.

Natalie, aka Dr. Aphrodite, is the anonymous love Dr. at Mountain View High School for the school paper.  But she's been getting quite the wrath from her male readers...in fact, they can't stand her column, and believe that she doesn't understand anything about guys, and is only telling the girls what they want to hear, not the truth!

So what does she do??

Become the man of course!
Babe in Boyland

Natalie...or Nat, goes under cover at Underwood Academy...to find out the seven question that every girl wants to know about the inner working of the human male's mind...

Along the way, she happens to have a roommate who just happens to be one of the most gorgeous of the male specimen...Emilio...sigh...Mr. Six-Pack-with-a-heart-of-gold...like I said...sigh...

Anyhow, what happens when Natalie is supposed to figuring out all the answers, but at the same time falling for the guy...whom should be giving her all the answers??

Find out in this fun, loving, easy read Babe in Boyland!

My thoughts:

Overall, I thought Babe in Boyland was a cute easy read.  It reminded me of that movie with Amanda Bynes, She's the Man!  I love that movie!!! This book had just the right amount of changes to make its own story.
There were some super funny parts involving the male anatomy...plus a part where her friends and her went to Denny's in the middle of the night, which I just loved (I know random right?!) but it where my friends and I go during really late nights, such as Rocky Horror Picture Show nights :).

Overall rating:


So if you get a chance, definitely check out this fun, cute read!!

      Sarah, the Denny's part was super small and very easy to miss! :)

    I was going to say that as well - sounds almost exactly like She's the Man :P I wonder if the author saw that one?

    Yes, this book is so much fun! Like you said, pretty similar to She's The Man... but that was kind of perfect because I love that movie, and this was like book candy.

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 reconnect...

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 ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
