A fast and ... 16. Mon nez, mon chat, l'amour et moi
Roman ado bien marrant. C'est le journal d'une ado à demi-rebelle qui raconte sa vie avec une très bonne dose d'humour! C'est ce qui m'avait attiré sur amazon. Pas déçu mais je ne pense pas continuer la série... ... people dealing with being fat in weight-obsessed societies.
95. *Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison (272)
Diary of a somewhat silly British teenager.
Written in pseudo-diary format - it resembles a diary but not very realistically, which is ok ... 27. Angus, thongs and fullfrontal snogging by Louise Rennison.
This was funny but I would have liked it more if I was younger, very Adrian Mole if he was a 14 year old girl.
*** ... Kinney can keep it up forever. My other comment to Dave about these books was "it's like... the main character is a male Georgia Nicholson, because they both start off in middle school and are self-centered and clueless" to which he responded "I guess... but Georgia is much funnier". So there ... The 2 series I'm reading are House of Night and Vampire Academy. I'm waiting for the next Confessions of Georgia Nicolson. I have the latest Princess Diaries from the library but haven't gotten around to reading it.
I know the wait can be really frustrating, but it does take some ... ... occasionally get bored and try to do things differently.
Like Readafew in post 1, I have done a few reviews for the Georgia Nicolson books in the style the books were written in which made the reviews a lot more fun.
With non-fiction I feel a bit like lilithcat and approach writing ... ... vote goes to Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging. Sooo disappointed in this book. No desire to read the rest of the Georgia Nicholson series. >77: Those Georgia Nicholson books are always the highlight of my year's reading... ohmygiddygods I LUUUUURVE them so When I feel 'blah' and need a pick-me-up, I pick up one of the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson books... it's light, ridiculous, outrageous, and absolutely hilarious. Even when I'm in the worst place, all I have to do is pick up one of these books, read a few pages, and I find myself unexpectedly ... ... that I'm looking forward to in 09:

It's only happened a few times so far, and it's been when he's asked me to read Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicholson series out loud (yes, he likes THOSE books... isn't it crazy?!?! He tried one once to see what the fuss was about because a friend and I love them so much. ... ... the character that Cushman created... I felt a little bit like I was reading a Medieval version of Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicholson series. Very fun! 1. angus
Not as funny as I was expecting, but it definitely grew on me and I'll probably read more someday. ... Fiction than YA (9-12, typically), but I'll add more treasures as I find them!
And I'll admit... Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicholson series is my guilty pleasure. I absolutely adore those books... I read them when I feel like crap, and the world gets a little bit brighter each time. :) ... My choice for best character is Severus Snape.
Worst character: This may surprise some people, but I'm going with Georgia Nicholson. It's not that she's not well-written, it's that I really didn't like her at all.
Best book within a genre (ie fantasy/historical/sci-fi/romance ... ... Grace Dent which I thought would be interesting from the perspective of classism, but so far it seems to be mimicking Georgia Nicolson. Then again, I'm only like 30pgs in, and it's not like it's horrible either.
Up next: Hottie by Jonathan Bernstein, which, despite the title, is ... ... to Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier last night. Must say it was very cute, and something I can see fans of Georgia Nicolson enjoying if they also like fantasy. She has a lot of neat elements in her world (a specialized sports high school, local celebrity worship, invented slang ... ... Feed was excellent - more suited to older kids than I'm teaching though. I liked Thirsty and Burger Wuss too.
Georgia Nicolson is very popular with the girls in my class. The boys have become so intrigued by the girls' interest and by the titles that a couple of them started ... You'd love the Georgia Nicholson books, then. They're all addressed to "you lot" over in "Hamburger-a-Go-Go-Land" and ridicule the reader for not knowing what some things are. She'll sometimes say she's getting tired of explaining what such-and-such is, or that she's tired of writing all this ... ... talk for us on this side of the Pond!). They're a hit at the library where I work, and I've read the whole series: the Georgia Nicholson books by Louise Rennison. I've seen the age recommendation as 12+ but would probably say more like 14+ for an average audience. Adults will ... ... I was older before I could read them, I wasn't fond of them as a teenager.
Ginger Pye was boring and pretentious
Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging was absolutely stupid. I refuse to read any further than the first book. The characters were so dumb and pathetic.
And finally, ... ... Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - J.K. Rowling
35. Lirael - Garth Nix
36. Specials - Scott Westerfeld
37. Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging - Louise Rennison

Harry Po ... ... mentioned like Philip Pullman. Overall I couldn't imagine not reading British books. More recently I've read books like Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging by British authors, and I love their Britishness, it's such a nice change.
Being Canadian I kind of float between reading books ... ... Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Millicent Min, Girl Genius (and other books by Lisa Yee), George Washington, Spymaster, Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging...
... Bryson is also funny.
Tom Stoppard's play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead is another hilarious one.
Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson is more of a YA book, but I read it and I'm in my 20s and I thought it was laugh out loud funny. Lately, I've read Terrier by Tamora Pierce, Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison and Framed by Frank Cottrell Boyce. Also The Game by Diana Wynne Jones. Next up: Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier and Looking for Alaska by John Green. kfl1227- I read Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging a few years ago and couldn't stop laughing through the whole thing.

3. Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison
4. But Enough About Me: A Jersey Girl's Unlikely Adventures Among the Absurdly Famous by Jancee Dunn
5 ... I strongly disliked Artemis Fowl; the story was pointless and the characters unlikable.
I did not like Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging; it was hardly as funny as proclaimed by my school librarian when she told me to check it out.
I found Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator ... 20. Angus, Thongs, and Full-frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison. I made a much un-needed trip to the bookstore today and ended up getting the first 3 books in this series. I had heard good things about them and assumed I would want to read more than one. I was right. The first one was ... ... Sawyer

By the way, if you have not read, Angus Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging which is the first Georgia Nicolson book, you absolutely owe yourself the treat. Do not read it in a public place, however, unless ... thanks :o)
Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging was good fun and I'm looking forward to reading more of the series. I'm not sure who the author's target audience is - as a parent I'm not sure I want my kids experiencing Georgia's world until they're a good deal older than her fourteen ... Hi Freelunch!!

9. The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards
>26 The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (first book Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging) definately qualifies as a happy book.

6. Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison (Hilarious and spot on depiction of the woes of a teenage girl...read in an afternoon)
Almost done with T ... I first read Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging completely because of the title. I also love recommending it to people just to see what their reactions are LOL The romance novel titles are ones that I cringe about. There are a couple that I like to recommend where I constantly find myself ... ... I love but can't get others to read based on the title alone, or try not to read in public for the bad titles, such as Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging which is a fitting yet embarrassing title...
I cant think of too many titles I actively dislike, perhaps because I just don't ... ... Potter, especially the third, fourth and fifth books. I also like the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson books starting with Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging. Another book that I really enjoyed was Secrets by F.M. McPherson. I'm trying to name YA books that do not have any romance in ... So CC are you going to go with Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging?
