The Reading/Book Edition

Supposedly diamonds are a girl's best friend. Well I would like to disagree with that statement. I believe that a girl's best friend is a little thing called a book.  Every girl reads books and wants to be in the book; whether it’s a romance novel or a teen book where the girls are rich and snobby (I admit I wish I was Massie Block or Blair Waldorf. Come on! Who doesn't?) It doesn't even have to be a book with a story. I just finished reading The One Hundred by Nina Garcia and I loved it. It is "A guide to the pieces every stylish woman must own" and I feel as if it has changed my life. Ok im being a little over dramatic, but I did really enjoy the book. There were a few items that I did not thing every woman must own. Fishnet, for example, is one of them. Also I can not wear some of the items because they are more for woman over 21 and I am a teenager (a very sophisticated and stylish teenager at that), but all in all it is a book that in my opinion every girl should own. If you don't know designer brands then forget about it. You will not enjoy the book at all and it will make you feel as if you need to be rich to be stylish which is not the case. Nina makes it very clear at the beginning of the book that the list is HER list and that she wants people to take it and tweak it to get it to be there own style. I have read reviews for the book and it seem like some people missed that factor.

Anyhoo. I am also reading twilight. The book that has taken America by storm… Too bad I am soo bored with it right now. I do not think that Edward is the most ah-mazing guy ever and Bella just flat out annoys me, but I have to finish the book anyways for a school projectL. So if you’re a girl like me, who thinks nerdy guys are adorable (ex: Bleeker from Juno, Dan Humphrey from Gossip Girl, and even Steve from Sex and the City) you may not enjoy this book. I am also not a big fan of fantasy books (is twilight a fantasy book? I mean he is a vampire!). The only ones I like are Harry Potter because Harry and Ron are just plain cool.

Now the reason why I think that books are a girl's best friend is because a girl can get lost in them. I guess guys can too, but I think girls have a bigger imagination (sorry guys, but we know all you think about is will… sex and booze. Although there are a few out there that I like to call gentlemen and I hope to one day find mine.). I also guess that not all girls can read a book and get completely swept up in it, but this is from my point of view. I read Gossip Girl and I want to be Blair having the perfect life living in New York (but you know with out the underage sex and drinking. Not to mention I don't EVER want to have an eating disorder). I read Emma and I have fantasy's of finding my Mr. Knightley (ok fine I may have cheated one this one and watched the movie. My mom only keeps the oldest copies of Jane Austin novels in the house and as much as I would like to be able to read them they are just impossible to understand for me right now.)

I hope that all the girls reading this (and guys too), will go out and pick up a great book right now, sit down, and read for hours and hours pretending to be your favorite character. Say his or her lines out loud if you want too, I do it! Just get wrapped up in it and don't put it down until you finish… or get to a really boring part like I have in Twilight.
