Meg-A Readers Recap #8/9



So I'm back!!
So sorry everyone!!

This past week has been NUTS!! I started school on Monday.  I have to be there only two days a week, but it's a commute, plus when I get back I have to work until the evening, plus on the days I don't have school I also worked, so yeah...crazy!! And barely any time for reading!! ;(

Diana is being so patient with me, so THANK YOU for that Diana!! You rule!!

Anyway so this week I have unfortunately nothing to contribute review wise...and unfortunately I'm not sure if I'll have time to read very much in the coming weeks, but I do have something extremely exciting to share with you all that is Meg Cabot related...

Look what I got in the mail last week from the amazing Harper Collins....





!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got an ARC of The Bride Wore Size 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  OMG I am so freaking excited!! If I wasn't behind on my reading the books I promised others I would be devouring this one right now and totally ignoring the outside world!!!!

It even came with this super cute little black bag of Jordan Almonds, in honor of Heather's wedding of course :).  I'm just so looking forward to reading it!!


Okay, so now to the recap...

Karen over at Lady Jessop had an absolute hilarious post about that Meg Caboty feeling we all love as Meg Cabot fans.

And then we will had an awesome post from Sara over at Whimsy Reviews, who talks about Fangirling over Meg, which let's be honest here, if you're a Meg Cabot fan, like us, than you know we've all been here! :)

So those are the posts!

I hope everyone has a fabulous Labor Day Weekend! I know I will! :)

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

The Cassandra Clare Experience that I ALMOST Missed!! (PLUS INTERNATIONAL GIVEAWAY!!!)

Hey Everyone! Can I just say I had one of the most amazing nights Friday night!! So rewind.... Let's start from the beginning... Once upon a time my fabulous mom and I went on a little road trip.  We left at 1:00 p.m. the house, with directions in hand that told us it would take about 2 hrs. and 20 minutes to get there. Well, thanks to the beautiful view of Los Angeles traffic, and the most crappy directions EVER, it took almost SIX hours to get there!!!!!!!!!! No freaking joke!!! Mapquest SKIPPED a step on the directions so we ended up going on the wrong freeway, and getting over an hour off track!! Thanks to wonderful lady at A Whale of a Tale Bookshoppe , who had the technology needed to actually travel, not just paper directions, we were able to find our way back on track!! The event was supposed to start at 6 p.m., and we didn't arrive at the Mission Viejo Library until almost 7. When my mom and I drove into the parking lot of the library, do you know wha
