Quote of the Week
From Adorkable by Sarra Manning:
"I kept catching him giving me these odd, expectant looks, like he thought I might suddenly rip off my new clothes to reveal a fluorescent catsuit and shout, 'Psych!' as loud as I could."
For those of you have read the awesome book, I don't know about you, but I think that this was probably the funniest part of the book for me - how about you?
For those people who haven't read Adorkable, and should be ashamed of themselves right now (kidding!), then if this quote isn't enough for you to want to read the book then the fact that it is AMAZING should be. So there. Also, it's one of my new favourite books.

Quote of the Week 1
Quote of the week to entice you into reading a book, this week is from:
THE QUOTE
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single girl of high standing at Longbourn Academy must be in want of a prom date.
While the same can probably be said of countless other schools across the country, prom at Longbourn isn't just a rite of passage -- it's considered by many (at least those who matter) to be the social even for future members of high society.
Longbourn girls don't go to the mall to get their dresses.
No, they boast couture form designers whose names adorn their speed dial."
From Prom & Prejudice by Elizabeth Eulberg.
THE BLURB
After winter break, the girls at the very prestigious Longbourn Academy become obsessed with the prom. Lizzie Bennet, who attends Longbourn on a scholarship, isn’t interested in designer dresses and expensive shoes, but her best friend, Jane, might be — especially now that Charles Bingley is back from a semester in London.
Lizzie is happy about her friend’s burgeoning romance but less than impressed by Charles’s friend, Will Darcy, who’s snobby and pretentious. Darcy doesn’t seem to like Lizzie either, but she assumes it’s because her family doesn’t have money. Clearly, Will Darcy is a pompous jerk — so why does Lizzie find herself drawn to him anyway?
Will Lizzie’s pride and Will’s prejudice keep them apart? Or are they a prom couple in the making? Whatever the result, Elizabeth Eulberg, author of The Lonely Hearts Club, has concocted a very funny, completely stylish delight for any season — prom or otherwise.
