Queen of Babble Continues!!!!

Howdy Campers,

I just finished, The Queen Of Babble series by Meg Cabot. Wha-?! I know what you're thinking, there was a series? Why yes there was. I guess you could call it a trilogy, not a blood gushing vampire one, but a laugh your butt off, makes you want to question your relationships and question whether or not if you are actually in love. I'm not going to lie on the last book I kind of just wanted to know the ending really bad so I just read it. I read the beginning and the end and it wasn't until I was about to return it to the library that I actually started reading the  middle.  I loved it. So much. Are you lost? Confused? Not sure exactly what I'm talking about? I'll Clarify

  • The Queen of Babble: This was the first book in the series, I talked about it in the previous post. It was hilarious, like made me want to pee my pants. It wasn't even overly humorous it just had the perfect amount of comments that just made you think.Meet Lizzie in this funny tale. Imagine believing you were in love with some perfect British guy and then realizing he was just a fake guy trying to play a game of hide the sausage with a girl he told his parents was chubby and naive. Then try to imagine meeting an incredibly hot guy, venting your heart out thinking you'll never really see him again, and then realizing that you'll be staying at this hot guys house for the rest of the summer. Awkward.

    The Queen of Babble In The Big City:  So the story continues, Lizzie's adventure is just starting. Lizzie loves restoring gowns, so what happens when she's to over qualified to just that.  No ones taking her seriously, hoping her little "hobby" will pass.  It's funny how when we get so into what we do for other people, you start wanting those things to happen to you. So what is Lizzie to do when her commitment scared boyfriend Luke, mocks her idea's of marriage. So many things happen in this book your going to want to keep reading. Will Lizzie realize that even though a gorgeous guy can seem perfect he might not be right for her?

    The Queen of Babble gets Hitched: I know what your thinking, obviously Lizzie is getting married so no need to read this book. Wrong, because it might not really be what you expect or with whom you expected to be with in the first place. This book is all about loss, trust, finding out that there is such a thing as too perfect. Lizzie learns that if someone can't love her enough to know that she likes her wine with a glass of ice, he isn't worth her time. Reading this book you might learn a little about yourself too. There is a perfect amount of humor in this book too. I had people asking me why I was laughing so hard, believe me it's hard to control tears okay.

    This is a series that won't disappoint. It wasn't boring in the slightest and if you give it a chance you won't regret it.
    Read it. Love it. Share it.

Love Abroad

Growing up, I always wondered what life would be like if my parents had sent me to a boarding school. Being a military brat it probably would have given me a stable environment to live in. I never thought about the possibility of falling in love at boarding school, and I definitely never thought about going to one over seas. But let's be honest how cool would that be? To be on your own in another country. Visiting cool places with your class mates all the time, and learning the language, unless you already know it. I like to explore so I wouldn't even be mad about getting shipped off. I've been independent my whole life and pretty adaptable. But what happens when you feel like you're being forced to go some where for your senior year of high school? All those friends you made won't be there for you at your new school... What happens when you start developing a relationship with someone and are forced to leave them behind only to start having feelings for someone else? Will people get hurt or will everyone be happy in the end? Will you discover new things about yourself or give up on trying new things?

Meet Anna...

Anna had  a perfect plan going. She was going to start dating her crush and have the best senior year ever. This soon comes to a halt after Anna's  dad decides to send her to a boarding school in France for Americans. He wants Anna to become more cultured. For the first time in her life Anna will learn what it feels like to be alone, have all the friends in the world, and she'll learn what love and happiness is all about.  Follow Anna on her journey.

What I thought?

This book was really good. It kind of messes with your emotions because you wish that certain things didn't happen. After reading this book I want to learn French and Italian and just travel the world. It's a romantic novel that will make you wish you could experience the similar things Anna is going through. It was kid of a short read, that is if you are a really fast reader, but I'd recommend just slowly enjoying the story. You won't regret reading this book.
