I am confuzzled - Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, Book 1) (Paperback)  This is not a review, this is me being confused about my feelings for this book.. or rather, for this whole series.

I just finished book two, and I am hoping to find book three tomorrow when I get to work - this is part of my problem. WHY DO I WANT TO KEEP READING! Georgia is so.. so.. MEAN! In fact, she's most definitely a bee-otch. She has some witty moments, in fact I'm in love with how she speaks with her parents, because it is so achingly teenagery. But how she treats her best friend Jas.. heck, how she treats everyone is just so mean and disrespectful. And frankly, if I hear one more thing about her trying to suck her nose in I'm going to strangle her.

On the other hand.. I MUST have the next book. MUST keep reading! I'm really not sure why. They're super quick reads, so maybe that helps. But I think I want to keep reading to see if Georgia grows any as a person. And to see if she and Sex God get together.

Also.. how is she and her friends getting away with so much stuff? Are they way more leniant in England?

And it's not just Georgia.. every girl in that school has some seriously mean moments. Except for Nauseating P. Green.. She gets mentioned a few times a book, and I feel so bad for her. Having to go to school with these mean people. Mean girls.

Speaking of that - I would so not be able to handle an all girls school. Especially when the girls are this catty. And when the teachers are that weird. Yikes.

Has anyone else read this series? Or want to? I've picked the books up because I couldn't get over the awesome titles. That, and I apparently have a YA fetish. Along with my Angel fetish ( Give me a YA Angel book and I'll be set for life. WHAT?! Crescendo comes out soon??? I know, I have mine pre-ordered. n.n).

Share your thoughts with me please. Want to check out the first book in mean Georgia's series? Find it at Amazon.com.

Work, (e)Books, and Bugs, oh my!

It's my bloooog I can rant if I want to, rant if I want to, rant if I want to..

Books! and eBooks! They're piling up around me, and I have yet to get two seconds to myself to read them. To earn some extra money (and because I needed to get out of the house more), I took on a very temporary job at a Halloween store. While I have plenty of hours available to work, I was planning on 20-25 hours. The first week? They scheduled me full time! Even after arguing with the managers, and then even the store owner, I finally managed to lessen the hours, but to 32. This week they did a little better, but I'm still at 28. So by the time I get home (the only two days I'm off are days I have classes full time) I have time to get some homework done before I crash. But I want to read! All these pretty books, they're calling to me! And not just print books, but I have recently recieved some ebooks from two authors that I told them I would gladly review them, and promote the books. I can't do that if I don't have SOME free time, dangit! Don't worry readers, I will be back! Just give me until the second (or so) of November (yay that's less than a week!) and I'll be able to at least do SOME reading and reviewing.

Want to know the books?
"Dhampir Passions" by Mary Corrales and
"The Ghost Downstairs" by Molly Ringle
The second author, I've been following her blog for AGES - she did some amazing "Lord of the Rings in 15 minutes" parodies, as well as other movies. And I was excited to receive a copy of this book to read and review. Heck, I was/am excited to receive BOTH of these!

Rant the second: BUGS! Ah! I know it's getting colder outside, and that usually means prime time for mice and bugs to get into the house since it's warmer inside.. but seriously world?! I live in a basement, and to date, I have found THREE crickets, a grasshopper (first time I've seen a grasshopper outside of the movie A Bug's Life), a spider the size of a quarter, etc. I have a love hate relationship with bugs.. they exist, and I love to hate them. Yes, I know they do good, I just wish they would do said good outside of my room. They make me all... cringey. Maybe if I print small signs and place them around my room telling bugs this is a bug free zone.. would it work?

I hope everyone has a fun (and safe!!) Halloween. Remember to beware, there are werewolves and vampires about! Just kidding, most vampires stay in and watch cheesy movies about themselves on Halloween. And werewolves would only be out if it's the full moon... better check the moon cycle!

Happy Reading, everyone!
