Anybody have a least favorite reading format for reading? Ten years ago I loved the idea of being able to read from my phone even if I didn‘t have an ereader on me. Did I once phone read during a bar birthday party? Guilty. Now, it strains my eyes and I kind of hate it and will only do it if no other format is available. Alas, when rereading Queen Bees and Wannabes I could only get it from the library on my phone.

Happy Mean Girls Day! Did you know that Tina Fey adapted the concept for Mean Girls from Queen Bees and Wannabes? I'm so glad she did - it was ambitious and it paid off, this is still one of my favourite films of all time! #October #MeanGirls #Trivia #FunFact

Brilliantly adapted from this book to the big screen by Tina Fey, Mean Girls is one of my favorite movies. At one of the vet clinics where I worked, we even wore pink on Wednesday while quoting the movie in surgery. So fetch!! #badgirls #anglophileapril

Cinfhen Saw the Bdwy show with my daughter, Niki. Her roommate‘s sister plays the character of Janice. Which is totally fetch. 💕💕💕 6y
Megabooks @Cinfhen Extremely fetch! #jealous 😁💕💕 6y
Cinfhen It‘s really cool to see Giana make it on Broadway. Her sister Allegra & my daughter have been friends since HS. & it was always Giana‘s dream to be on Broadway!!! #DreamsReallyDoComeTrue and how cool, her boss is Tina Fey!!!!! 6y

2 Quinn, Julia ( @JuliaQuinn ) great brain candy romances.

3 Quills staring Kate winslet. An interesting take on de Sade

This past weekend I went with my brother to NYC for a double show day. First up was Mean Girls! It was amazing. If you enjoy the movie, this will be a great way to spend your time. This show is wonderful, fun, and still has a message.

I need six credits in order to renew my teaching certification and I *may* have procrastinated a bit. 🤷‍♀️ Anywho, I was able to find some online book studies that will do the trick. I have always wanted to read this book- anxious to see if there‘s any good advice for my classroom.

TommieMarie74 Agreed. Although I‘m thinking it might be helpful even now. My last job was full of mean girls. 7y

I did NOT know Mean Girls was based on a book, but Regina George is definitely the top #queenbee of them all! Also, love this movie!

Even though the movie is only (very loosely) based on the book, I'm going with Regina George as the ultimate #QueenBee. #Characters2017

Oh, boy. Do I ever need this book. My house has been full of adolescent drama for the past six weeks. I pray that I survive my girls' middle school years.

Beckys_Books I feel your pain 😬 9y
Bkwurm I have a 16yo and a 12yo. I'm thinking I should add this to my list as well. 😳 9y

LitHousewife @Bkwurm This book and an adult beverage of choice would be a good thing. The universe knew I needed this book because tonight was pretty horrible. Here's hoping there are some good tips in here. 😁 9y
Jellybeanbon Is this the book that mean girls (the movie) was based on? 9y
LitHousewife @Jellybeanbon It was taken from material in the book. This is a parenting guide that talks about the realities of adolescent and teen girls today. From everyone I've talked to, this makes it easier to understand what's happening socially and emotionally with your daughters. 9y
