Well I may not be able to point you in the direction of Lady GaGa ray-bans, but this is a book I think you might wanna take a look at: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33808... so -- almost as good, am I right?
All the books that you're reading right now are ones I want to read. So I'm excited to see what you think of them! :)
Aw, I am pleased to be your first goodreads comment! And to be the first person to comment on your profile! Because seriously, imagine how many comments you're gonna get after you become a Goodreads Author with a zillion adoring fans? I'm just saying. ;)
Let me know what you think of that book when you're finished reading it, okay? The plot sounds super-super interesting. And I love the title.
