Okay I wasn’t going to do my big review of this book because technically speaking it’s not available yet. Why? Because the author scored a contract with a publishing firm after a phenomenal performance on the New York Best Seller list and her book is being re-edited with extra stuff put in then re-released next Feb (I think). I’m talking about Diary of a Mad Fat Girl by Stephanie McAfee.
Today is a meh day. Nothing is going quite as planned and thanks to the storms raging overhead during the night I have had a really crud sleep and all the passion I normally live with has relocated to Florida.. Or at least somewhere waayyyy warmer than here. The exciting adrenaline inducing snow storms have now dropped to nasty miserable wet and sleety storms. Not fun. The white stuff around the house is gone but at least we got some pretty pictures. The weather now is a lot more Wellington norm. Anyhoo. I decided to re-read Stephanie’s book today. It’s one of those reads (for me) that I just love. Ace, the main character is doing everything I want to be doing right now but don’t have the ‘eh’ for ;p Okay so I don’t want to be doing it all but I am seriously wishing I was as quick witted as this character is. I’d sooo love be telling certain peoples where to stick it at the moment. Actually that list is getting longer by the second (..it may be that time of the month…).
Don’t you just love that book? The one that makes you laugh and blurs by remarkably fast while you let your inner self run havoc in its pages (okay, e-pages – you get the drift). It is the best tonic for me at the moment and that’s what I love about indie e-books. Cheap to buy and when you find a gem OMG it’s so nice not to find an over edited, dumbed down version of a story you might have enjoyed. I really do feel the best writers I read appear to write for themselves, FIRST, rather than what’s popular or easy. The fans that love it just happen to be on the same wavelength *grin*.
Okay I’m rambling, have a great evening/day peoples.
Take care all!

…the only frustrating thing about stories like that is…the pages turn so fast, when you've reached the end, depression sets in.
I normally glance around the room and ask myself, "Okay…now what?"

Take care with the mad weather you're having over there! Yay for Stephanie and her book! x
So glad you got in some good reading time!
Yes Elliot!! That's so true ;p
Thanks Old Kitty & BB, was so much needed relaxing time (and inappropriate hooting *hee*)
