A Teeny Little Book Review
I just finished We Thought You Would Be Prettier: True Tales of the Dorkiest Girl Alive by Laurie Notaro, which I enjoyed very much, unlike my friend with multiple nz in her name. I still didn’t think it was as good as her third book, but I just love her writing. It’s quick, quirky, amusing and enjoyable. She seems like she’d be the great wacky neighbor next door.
Now I’m reading Magical Thinking by Augusten Burroughs, which is also entertaining. Next on the list, either the new Harry Potter or Reading Lolita in Tehran. Probably Harry Potter though, as I hate having spoilers around while remaining unspoiled. I have to avoid every site that might reveal who dies. I have a good guess, but I’d rather not know for sure.

The Harry Potter book is definitely worth reading next. My site has no spoilers because I would hate to know the ending too
I found your site via Lassa and have been looking around.

IF you are referring to me, madam, I liked the Laurie Notaro book just fine, and I’ve read two or three more of her books. I’ll continue to read her, too. It took me a moment, but I get her now…
If you weren’t referring to me, then, never mind.

Yes, Miss Nz, I was talking about you. I even have a private message from you saying, “So far, I haven’t laughed once...” That’s paraphrased, but still, I have proof, missy.
Oh, forgive me for being impolite, Heather, and not welcoming a visitor from Lassa’s site. Lassa, my Northern Nevada neighbor. Er, I guess that’s kind of like calling someone from California my neighbor, seeing as Northern NV is really far from Southern NV. Hey, Lassa, move here.
