I didn't have tech today, so I went to Barnes & Noble because we had a gift card and hey, new books. I walked around the teen section for a while, but there was nothing but rich-teenagers-drinking-and-having-sex and vampire books. And Scott Westerfeld and Meg Cabot don't have anything out yet (I think the last Princess Diaries book is out, but it wasn't there, so I'm now online reading spoilers because that is how I roll), so I was forced to give up. A pox on you, mysterious YA author who isn't writing anything for me.
Therefore, the next logical step was to go into the children's section. Because tbh, children's fiction > YA fiction. Seriously. I found about three books in the kids' section (okay, young readers,
whatever. Seventh graders. You know who I mean) that I bought and read when I got home. I was particularly excited over
Fairest by Gail Carson Levine. Because OMG GAIL CARSON LEVINE, GUYS. And OMG GAIL CARSON LEVINE WROTE A REMAKE OF SNOW WHITE. THIS IS CLEARLY THE MOST AWESOME THING I WILL READ IN QUITE A WHILE.
...it wasn't.
( After five years of awesome, Gail Carson Levine ruined my life. Okay. Not really. WHATEVER. Also, Princess Diaries. )Ah. It felt good to get my dork on for a little while.
(Rereading this, I mixed up tenses so many times it's almost painful. But I'm too lazy to fix it.)
