@thegirlwiththelibrarybag

Finally finished this. Sorry that it took me this long.

Have to confess, it reminded me of Bridget Jones. But I liked it.

Please tell me the other books are equally funny.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag In that she‘s a bit hopeless and the guy is swoon worthy? I think so - or I did think so when I last read them 😂 Men in kilts next? 4y
julesG @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Yes, yes, and yes. 😁 4y

My September Wrap Up (minus the library ebook and audio - and the book of mine that had already been wedged onto my bookshelf)

11 books read - I still feel like reading is an uphill battle at the moment - so I‘m pretty pleased with my end of the month stack! Here‘s to closing the gap on my goodreads challenge! (Currently 8 behind)

I‘ve read this a few times now, and there are few authors who make me snort with laughter like Katie MacAlister. I particularly enjoyed the scene where Alix, after watching an American Werewolf in London (& enjoying a few wines) freaks out in the subway when something moves in the shadows and her brain defaults to werewolf...

julesG I'm about half way through. 4y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, you‘ve still got plenty of time - I just thought it‘d fit in well after some crime fiction! 4y

Another entry for FUNNY for #30daysofreadathon - I discovered Katie MacAlister at a time that I did a lot of commuting by bus (sweet sweet reading time) and her books always made me laugh, like a maniac 😁

Balibee146 I am distracted by those fabulous shoes 👠👠💎💎 7y
Soubhiville I‘m with @Balibee146 , love the sparkles! 7y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag Thanks! I'd gone entirely too long with sparkly shoes (everything in the shops this season is very drab - happily the internet exists!) @Balibee146 @Soubhiville 7y

28. Red (I decided to also only pick books that I have read) #readathon #30daysofreadathon

Spot any favourites?

bookloo Is that...Charlie Bone?!?! I was in love with the Children of the Red King series when I was little! Did you know it as the “poor man‘s Harry Potter” too? 😂😍😍 7y
MCYmermaid So, both red & read? Well done! 7y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @bookloo, it is! I only discovered them this year - so I'm late to that party (the new covers are gorgeous). I'm only halfway but I'd be recommending this to kids over HP (I'm always a bit horrified when the under 12 crowd proclaim that they have read all of HP) - I'd call it a pathway to HP rather than the poor mans version 😂 7y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @MCYmermaid, thanks ☺️ thought I'd spice the challenge up! 7y

'Lady Rowena gasped in horror at the sight of Lord Raoul's majestic purple helmeted warrior of love...'

(These are the opening lines of the book but are an extract from the rather terrible romance that the main character is writing, which she reads to random people that she bumps into, as a way to assess quality)

Katie MacAlister = 💜 #greatfirstlines #booktober

Seekingtardis I love her!! 😂😂😂😂 8y
Bibliogirl 😂🍆 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Bibliogirl, 😂🙈 I wasn't brave enough to use that emoticon. 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @EloisaJames, it's my favourite of all her books :) 8y
Seekingtardis I stumbled across her by getting an ebook deal on the Asling books. I devoured them then promptly spent $80 to buy everything else she has written! 😂😂😍 @Bibliogirl I'm dying!! 🙀😹😹 8y
Theresa Ok, this is definitely going on my TBR!! 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Seekingtardis, I only own two of her books... which really needs to change ☺️ 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Theresa, top of the stack! 8y
Dragon Sounds funny 😂 8y
ValerieAndBooks I just looked at my library catalog and the only books by an author of that name seem to be about dragons or vampires. Same person? 8y
[DELETED] 1409720085 Oh my! 😳😂 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @ValerieAndBooks, yep! Same person! All her books are hilarious - I think her peak publishing period was about 10 years ago - during the time when vampires and paranormal where all the rage ☺️ 8y
rabbitprincess *snorts tea out nose* 😆 8y
ValerieAndBooks @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Ok! You've convinced me to try her. I'll check out at least one of those library books first! 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @rabbitprincess, I kind of want to reread this now 😂 it's not a safe book to drink anything with... 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @ValerieAndBooks, oh yay! Hope you enjoy :) 8y

I do love Katie MacAlister - I was a serious child not prone to laughing at books that others deemed hilarious - so I shocked myself when I laughed so hard that I cried reading these two books whilst on public transport. Improper English is my fave with The Corset Diaries a close second (and I seem to remember that there was one set during a Renaissance Fair - Hard Days Knight?)

TheSpinecrackersBookClub Adorable pic. Nostalgia kicking in! 8y
ValerieAndBooks I will have to check these out. While I do have a sense of humor and find things funny, it takes a lot for something to make me laugh out loud, especially to tears! 8y
