Some places had me giggling out loud, but toward the middle of the book, I got a bit bogged down in the descriptions of Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. Also, on an unrelated note, it took me days to realize that Tina's wearing a hat on the cover; I definitely thought that was part of her hair.
2. Blood Promise, by Richelle Mead ***
Another book in the Vampire Academy series. 3 books to go. I've enjoyed this series and can't stop reading before it's through, but I'm also ready to move on and read some adult fiction again.

3. Anthem, by Ayn Rand **
This is the kind of book I love. It's Brave New World, 1984, and The Giver, except written in the 1930s and in more complex language than the aforementioned books. The plot is essentially the same in this 100-pager, though: there is a problem with the direction this world is in, and we can either pretend we don't see it, or fight against it.
