fall break

taking a small break from reviewing. have been reading a couple of series, and i wanted to read without reviewing on the individual books.

so this is what i am currently reading:

one being the jessica darling series by megan mccafferty. this series follows jessica darling throughout her life starting as a mere (trust me, "mere" is no small word for a teenager; they are much more then "mere") sixteen year old high school student and finishing up as a full-blown adult.

jessica darling is by far one of my favorite protagonists ever. (cannie shapiro of the jennifer weiner novels good in bed and certain girls is another.)

her humor is unmatched. i guess, technically, mccafferty's humor is unmatched. she says shocking things like this:

"...and yet i can't blame shea for being so...pissed off. i mean, all nut the most genetically blessed go through periods of squirmy discomfort in our own skin. but there's a big difference between my kind of discomfort ("Boo-hoo! I don't have any boobs!") and Shea's ("Boo-hoo! I have boobs! And where the hell is my penis?").

i love shocking humor. and that's only one example of what our lovely-sailor-mouthed (love her) leading lady's humor. check it out. i promise you will love it.

the other, which is seemingly indescribable due to its hugeness, is the harry potter series. i, being a rebel, never read these books simply because everyone else was. i have, however, given up on the rebellion and have begun to read them.

i love them so far.

someone told me, "you will love the child."

i do. i love harry.

so...for the sake of conversation--what are you reading????
