Top 5 WTF! books that I read in 2008:

  • 5.) Star by Pamela Anderson. For real! A book about her but with a different name. Not recommended for anybody really, but especially not for those with the maturaity level below about 20.
  • 4.) Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs. Also watched the movie. It was… weird, of course, but the movie has quite a few moments of hilarity and aww!ness.
  • 3.) Atonement by Ian McEwan. Loved the book and the movie. Yummy James MacAvoy!! The twist made it! Made me cry, but well worth the tears.
  • 2.) Mr. Darcy Takes A Wife by Linda Berdoll. I read this on whim because a loyal customer referred me to it when she noticed my well-worn copy of Pride And Prejudice. Woah, Mama! It made me laugh, blush, and quite speechless. A bit too far into romance novels for my taste, but a good read as it may have incited some similar goings-on with me and my beloved. Whew!
  • and- *dun dun dun* 1.) The Twilight Series. I know it’s more than one book, but it would have conquered my list if I had listed them seperately! I mean seriously, People! WTF!! I got them for my niece, and she was all, “Enh… I read it when it first came out.” and was not into the hype like so many other girls her age. High school Musical is one thing (and don’t get me started on it), but vampires… in high school… *sigh* I am one of the biggest vamp fans if you were to ask me about authors such as Charlaine Harris, Laurell K. Hamilton, and other such other great writers, but not when it comes to “young” vampires. *steps down from soapbox* I shutup now.

Ladeedah. I’m in Savannah again for New Year’s. However, I am not happy, nor will I be partaking in any festivities. I found out today that my father had been married once already when he and my mother got together. The secrets, they shall be revealed to me!!!
