Babe in Boyland by Jody Gehrman Review

Image
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! 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 answer...

Hello Everyone! After this post I don't want to hear anything from ANY of you for the rest of this year! Do you understand that? Nothing! ;) As we're all celebrating this coming New Year, all hoping for a great glorious year of dreams coming true; I'm going to spend these next couple of minutes and reflect on some of my favorites of this year (2011).

Harry Potter has officially come to an end ;( ( sigh.... ).  I still get tears in my eyes, just thinking about it... However, thanks to the reading world, and then many devoted fans around the world, Harry Potter, you will not be forgotten....Especially, thanks to... 2.  Pottermore  was announced this year.  JK Rowling gave all of us Harry Potter fans, a wonderful surprise when she announced that she would be (sort of) continuing t...

One Day...

"One Day...". A phrase all of us has used at least once in our life, most likely.  Whether thinking, "One day... that car is going to be mine," or "One day...I'm going to travel the world..."; these are just examples of what many of us might think about, when we see or hear about something we want. One Day by David Nicholls, is exactly about "one day".  A truly touching story containing love, humor, friendship, the phases of life, and the mistakes that are made along the way.  Emma and Dexter met in 1988, and became the best of friends.  What was supposed to start off as a one night stand, turned into a 20 year friendship.  Each chapter takes place on July 15th, a year later from the last year.  Over those 20 years of Dexter's and Emma's sometimes troubled friendship, the story goes through Dexter's troubled phase of trying "to have fun", and Emma's phase of trying to find herself.  While Dexter likes partying, Emm...
