I love Newsday Tuesday so much. I missed the WBN tweet, but I know you’ll always catch the things I miss.

Aw, thank you dear. I love doing it because it catches me up on all the latest news and makes me pay attention on twitter. You’re always retweeting fabulous things too!

BTW…I’m picking up Absolutely True Diary…at the library on Thursday. Maybe we were separated at birth?

I’ve been at the beach all week so I’ve only read like thirty pages but we should definitely book club it. I always love talking to someone who has the book fresh in their mind. I love Alexie, I hope you will too!!!

I’m able to quote (and do often at work) from WHMS, YGM & SIS…I’ve not seen Heartburn for ages, but at the tender age of 13 this early Nora movie resonated…sigh, she shall be missed. ~

Her movies just have this emotional power. I got a book by her for Christmas and thought it was a book for older women so I haven’t read it, but I will now. I also feel ridiculous for thinking that way. I feel like I’m going to discover her books finally.
I love how you say the tender age of 13, isn’t that true? Dirty Dancing and Calamity Jane are my young adult favorites.

I saw that 50 Shades tweet on Twitter and LOLed. When I worked at the bookstore, my favorite EVER customers were a gay couple who purchased a book of gay sex positions. The one was completely embarrassed and the other was completely not, going so far as to whisper, “I can’t wait to try post #50 when we get home.” I had a huge grin on my face when I told them to “have a nice night”. :D
Also, Merida has truly fantastic hair. I think she might just be my favorite Disney princess ever.

Haha I love your anecdote! That’s so cute, Ahhhhhhh young love, haha! And yes, she’s my favorite too!

Yay for Marida and us curly/frizzy headed girls who have held the good fight for years!
