My favorite uptown girls are the ladies of Gossip Girl. I never finished the book series. Perhaps I'll do a reread and revisit them all over again.
I'd like to point out Blair, in the middle right picture, doing the universal hand gesture that says "Girl... do you see that? We are SO talking about this later." ?

:: Kristen Bell voice :: Hey, Upper East Siders! 🌃 there‘s a new Gossip Girl episode of my podcast out today! my guests and i are discussing the third book in the series that made all of us feel VERY uncool as teen readers, All I Want Is Everything. we gab about our early memories of the books, compare them to reality TV, and talk about slut shaming and the patriarchy. we also — of course — touch on the new reboot!

Question: I have put a bunch of GG novels on hold for potential analysis with Edith Wharton. Very low stakes & I don‘t know if anything will come of it. The new covers look to be the most widely available at the library. I only ever read the first in high school. Quick skim seems to show text to be same but does anyone know of any Sweet Valley High-esque shenanigan text updates?
pickThe 2nd book in The It Girl series. With Tinsley back it's hard to say who will be the it girl. I've been enjoying these throw backs so much 💖 Nice light, private high school read. Drama is definitely the main word used to describe this series 😂📚
#3Books set in New York City. @OriginialCyn620 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Not going to lie, when I first discovered the Gossip Girl books, I devoured them. I think I was probably in my late 20's/early 30's. These books made me want to sit on the steps of the Met and drink coffee and read a book (which I eventually did). I love NYC and can't wait to go again!
Is Nate Archibald, in fact, the worst boyfriend of all time? Dan Humphrey: sweet or stalker? Why is it so uncool for Blair to be ambitious in pursuit of her dreams? Why is no one staging an intervention with her eating disorder? And WHY is there so much body shaming + homophobia in the Gossip Girl universe? On the new ep of my pod, author Hannah Orenstein joins me to talk about Book 2 in the series, You Know You Love Me. Link to listen in my bio!
I'm joining @Andrew65 and sharing some of my favorite series.
Day 10: Gossip Girl (in progress)
The secrets & scandals of privileged white teens on NYC's Upper East Side are exposed when anonymous blogger Gossip Girl starts revealing their dirty laundry. A fun guilty pleasure series (with a fun TV show, too.) I have them all but only read up to book 7. I need to revisit and complete the series.
