This book was by no means bad...I just hate contemporary books. I really did try. The characters are likeable and the references to World of Warcraft and horror films are great...but I just find this genre so incredibly boring. It feels like I'm punishing myself by forcing myself to read it.

If you like contemporary, I'd def get this a shot.

#summerflingreads

tarabu42 I often get frustrated with contemporary fiction (unless they have quality historical flashbacks) - I read to escape my everyday, I don't want to read about people I could meet at the grocery store! 7y

SassenachTheBookWizard @tarabu exactly my feelings. 7y

My book for the Online Romance category of the #summerflingread challenge.

Zelma Curious how this one is. It's on my TBR but I'll wait and see your review before moving it up. 7y

I have a total crush on this book. It's so quirky & fun it has my inner teenager squealing with joy. Seriously though, I really, really enjoyed it. Sam & his friends are nerds...the kind of nerds who get beat up on a regular basis. Then in walks Camilla. She's smart, popular & for some reason seems to like Sam & his friends. This begins an unusual courtship that will have you laughing & shaking your head & crossing your fingers! A wonderful story.

That moment when you are trying to take a bookstagram photo on the staff room table and accidentally add way WAY too much milk to your tea...

Centique That's dedication for you! 😂😂😂 8y

Chachic What a cute teapot! Also the mug matches the books.👏👏 I've had a copy of Life in Outer Space for ages but still haven't read it yet. 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Centique, I'm a tea snob so the extra milk did cause some laughter in the staff room 😂 still a good cup of tea! 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Chachic, lugged the mug into work specially 😂 thanks - it was the first teapot that I ever bought (now I'm addicted) it's a cute read with extra awesome chapter headings 8y

I KICKED OVER MY WATER BOTTLE 😱

Several books affected including THIS SIGNED COPY 😭 damn my need for hydration...

Currently crying myself to sleep

LeahBergen No!! 😩 8y

Sarah83 oh no 😓 8y

elkeOriginal Just keep your tears away from the books...😉 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Thanks, bit of a bummer ruining a signed book 😕especially since a wet book is an easy target for mould - I'll wait and see how it dries and then either put it in plastic or in the recycling bin. I'll have to replace a library book too 😭 @Sarah83 @JacqMac @TrishB @LeahBergen @Bookladylinda @ValerieAndBooks 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @elkeo, tears on my pillow 😪🎧 8y

elkeOriginal Don't throw it away! Give it a chance. It is sad but 🤞maybe it won't mold and will just be a tad wavy... 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @elkeo, it's not good to risk it... one book with mould can easily turn into a mould ruined library... it'll probably go into the sealed zip lock bag with a book that I spilled tea on... 8y

julesG Here's what I would do: Put that book in a container filled with rice. That should draw out most of the water. Then there are these tiny sachets that come in shoe boxes, etc. They contain a hydrophilous agent. When the book has dried out in the rice, store it in an air tight container with some of those sachets, a few days should do the trick. (Bet you can get some for free at a shoe/clothes/bag/electronics shop.) 8y

I went to the book launch for The Secret Science of Magic (not yet on Litsy database) and it was lovely *except* I realised when I got home that she'd only spelt my name correctly in one book 😕

I think I can fix it, I just need a fine liner pen...

One of my favorite blurbs, by one of my fave authors about a book by another of my fave authors. #bestblurb #seasonsreadings2016

RealLifeReading

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Ooh! An Aussie author! Also the first time I have shared my name with a character (she was a minor player and a plastic mean girl but still!) you might like Lili Wilkinson - this is my favourite one (so far)

A Pocketful of Eyes

GlitteryOtters @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I haven't read any Lili Wilkinson yet, but I keep seeing her books referenced on lists and they sound interesting. She was definitely on my list of potential authors to purchase next time I ordered books from Australia. Stacking this title on my TBR list! 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @GlitteryOtters, it's set in Melbourne (which is my part of the world). I'm excited for your next Aussie book buy (let me know if I can help - I sometimes order books for my friend in London that she can't access even though we are looking at the same website) 8y

I don't read much contemporary YA but who could resist the allure of a MC who believes that everything he needs to know about life can be found in movies? (What could go wrong? 😂) Also the first time I've ever seen a character with my name (she was a plastic mean girl but STILL)
