When I think #shortskirtlongjacket I think Buffy. But since I am only using things on my iPad I give you bright young things. Flappers wore short dressed for their times, and the jackets were longer. It fits. #tuneintonovember

brilliantglow Have you read this one yet? 7y
LibrarianRyan @brilliantglow no. I read her other turn of the century series. 7y
brilliantglow Just curious. I read this one earlier this year but ended up DNFing it and giving it to a friend. It's the only of her books I've read but the two main characters were awful and boring. I don't see this series mentioned very often so I'm always curious if it was just me or if it was the book 7y

LibrarianRyan @brilliantglow I think I downloaded it for free. The other series was like and old fashioned Gossip girl and was also boring and throughly predictable. Probably why this one is still sitting on my iPad. But when I get around to reading it I'll let u know. 7y

brilliantglow To be honest that doesn't sound very promising haha but at least this one was free 7y

Not very imaginative, but #🎯 sells books (and you could probably buy a #shortskirtlongjacket and at least #27 other things there too. 😄) #tuneintonovember #emojinov #novemberbythenumbers #multitasking

DGRachel Well done!! 7y

Playing a bit of catch up! ‘Stolen‘ by Lucy Christopher is my choice for #DoIWannaKnow ... did I want to know?! I‘m not sure! But I kept going!
#SleepingIn Because everyone knows books are better than getting to bed on time!
I thought of Astrid from ‘Firecracker‘ for #ShortSkirtLongJacket I think the lyrics suit her.

#TuneIntoNovember #ShortSkirtLongJacket "I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket." Going with the song lyrics, I looked for books that have 'girl' in the title & that feature either a short skirt, a long jacket, or maybe both (it's hard to tell in some cases!) ?on the covers. The top 3 books I've read & enjoyed, the bottom 3 books are in my #TBR stacks. The Venn diagram I saw while googling & it made me laugh.?

Cinfhen Nice, Deb!!! I always enjoy your interpretations and collages ❤️❤️ 7y
Robothugs Nicely done!! 7y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen @Robothugs Thanks! Some of these are a bit tougher than others. 😆👍 (edited) 7y

Robothugs I realized they might be, but I thought that might be part of the fun! 😉 Like I‘ve said before it‘s all up to you how you interpret it! 7y
DebinHawaii @Robothugs Yes, I think the challenge does make it more fun to interpret them and also to see what everyone comes up with. 😊 7y
Robothugs I‘m glad!! I had worried about it, but quite a few people have said so. 😊 7y
jfalkens I enjoyed The girl who drank the moon 7y
AmyG I do love the movie Shopgirl. 7y

rockpools @Robothugs Of course! You should probably read them first though, just to check they're suitable...☺️ 7y
Robothugs This is a sound plan! 😁 7y

It looks like Door, from Neverwhere, is the kind of girl, who would wear a short skirt with a long(ish) jacket 👀

Ismae would rock a #shortskirtlongjacket had her story taken place today. Instead, it‘s an alternate 15th century, and she‘s Death‘s handmaiden. The fantasy I do read tends to be YA, and this is the first in a trilogy that came out a few years ago. One of my favorites; I read it after all the Twilight stuff, and it was so refreshing to read a strong female teenage character. I really need to read the other two in the series... #TuneIntoNovember
