Startled by His Furry Shorts (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson #7)

This seventh installment in the series finds Georgia Nicolson on her way to “the cakeshop of agony” yet again as she worries over whether Massimo will agree to be her one and only. This book lacks the freshness of the series opener (Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging) and feels a bit like the same one we’ve read seven times now as Georgia struggles with the usual predicaments: embarrassing parents, school woes, appearance anxiety, and of course, boy trouble. Nevertheless, dedicated fans of...more
Except for the first Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (#1) - I think this book was BY FAR one of my favorites in the whole series! I couldn't put it down! Georgia had a lot more going on with Massimo and then Robbie and Dave the Laugh - but I think it was the fact that Georgia actually started "talking" with her mother about her boy issues, that really made the book come alive for me. Until this copy, all the others have been mocking her parents (typical teenager) and just more of a personal diar...more
In the seventh installment of the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series, Georgia anxiously awaits Masimo's answer to whether he wants to be exclusive with Georgia. In the meantime, she finds herself falling for Dave the Laugh though can't admit it. And in the end, without trying to spoil anything, she gets a surprise visit from someone from her past.

Georgia is living in the Cake Shop of Aggers after telling Italian stallion, Masimo that she wants to be his only one and only. Normally this would mean plenty of hilariosity as Georgia wallows in her misery but there was something lacking for me. I'm not quite sure what it was but I think it's the same thing that was missing in 'Dancing In My Nuddy-Pants'.

I smile fondly at the entire series. I just read books 7,8,9 and really they should be one or maybe two books. They kept ending right in the middle of a scene and made for some artificial cliff-hangers. But I laughed at Georgia's antics, as usual. She seems a tiny bit less self-obsessed and selfish and we do get some more actual family drama. I am anxious to get to the final book of the series. Again - I think audiobooks are the way to go for these. The British accents and phrases are better tha...more
Georgia Nicolson continues to have boy troubles. Either she has no boyfriend, or she has three boys at once who all want to date her. In this seventh installment in the series, Georgia is waiting on Masimo to decide if he wants to be her proper boyfriend or not. Meanwhile, Dave the Laugh is still in the back of Georgia's mind as a snogging partner, and sex god Robbie comes back into the picture after being absent for the past few books.

I love the cover of this book! The imagery of the Macuseless play rehearsals and Jas as “Miss Haversham in that Dickens book, what is it called? Crap Expectations, I think… [sitting] in her wedding dress gathering cobwebs for years and years” are great. In a way, it kind of reminds me of Patsy and Edina in Absolutely Fabulous,, though here, we’re given the high school version. ;)

Georgia Nicolson is not currently in a happy place regarding her love life. In fact, she's stuck in neutral in more ways than one. According to Georgia, she's not only on the rack of romance, but in the cakeshop of agony, the oven of luuurve, and the bakery of pain. And, if you must know why, it is all because of the Italian Stallion, Masimo. The man who has knocked the Sex God - aka Robbie - right out of her mind, and taken up residence in her heart, as well as in the band the Stiff Dylans, as...more

This one didn't make me laugh out loud. It is getting a bit repetitive for me... Georgia's insecurities and "madness" are getting to be too predictable and boring for me. A bit disappointing as the first one really had me laughing.
Fabbity-fab! Georgia continues, in book 7, to experience great tragicosity with her love life (Masimo the Italian Stallion vs Dave the Laugh vs Robbie the Love God--how to choose?), her family (Vati with his ridiculous clown car and leather pants! Mutti trying to dress like a teenager! Libby...being Libby!), her unsupportive friends (Why must Spazzy Jazzy go on and on about her boyfriend when Georgia needs to talk about HER boyfriend?), her arch-enemy (Wet Lindsay, aka Stick Insect), and school...more
Not much progression and I wish Masimo would disappear. Still funny, of course.
You know, it's funny...I was ripping along through the books, enjoying them in a casual-like way, but not luuurving them, necessarily...and now I find myself in a bit of a bind. This cliff hanger ending actually has me regretting that I don't have the next couple of books immediately at hand! Who will Georgia pick? The Italian Stallion, Dave the Laugh, or the newly returned Sex God?? I'm a little surprised to be saying this, but I really want to know vair vair much. I know which one I'd go for!...more
In Startled by His Furry Shorts (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, #7), poor Georgia has been thrown into a state of confusiosity. Dave the Laugh has declared his love for Georgia, or so she thinks, while Georgia is trying to declare her own love for Masimo. So instead of being throw into the cake shop of love for the rest of her life, she decides to actually care about the school play Mac-Useless. And to top it all off crazy Rosie is planning her Viking wedding to her foreign boyfriend, to which...more
3.5 stars!
"I can't believe I am once more on the rack of romance. And also in the oven of luuurve. And possibly on my way to the bakery of pain. And maybe even going to stop along the way to get a little cake at the cakeshope of agony."
God, I love Georgia Nicolson. Yes, she's immature, silly, often rude, self-obsessed and rather strange, but she's also hilarious and is ultimately a good person. Also it's odd little summaries like these that make her books so damn quotable.

Georgia you STUPID idot. WHY oh WHY did you not jump into Dave the Laugh's arms when he said he loves you???? You've spent the last six books moaning over getting a boyfriend and here he is, practically wrapped up with a bow on top and all you can think about are the boys in your life who left you or who don't know if they want a girlfriend??? *slaps Georgia* Even though he's fifteen, If you won't date him girfriend...I so will...He's...so funny! gah....*frustrated sigh*

MY DEAR GOD JESUS. Ok, let me explain. The last pages were so asdkjkljhsdgh. Dude, I knew EVERYTHING. I knew it. When I was reading the last pages I had to make a pause, I went to the bath and I had to pour water on my face, I really had to because I was totally speechless, believe me you will too. Then I started screaming (well, not exactly screaming because my aunts were around there and I didn't want them to think I'm incredibly freak, but whatever, that's not the point) Five stars to this bo...more
I had to skim this and the last few books...as funny as the first few were, I was getting sick of listening to Georgia whine about Luuurve Gods and Sex Gods and yet secretly really like Dave the Laugh. Just go out with him already! The last three books are all kind of blended in my mind. Again, I may have had more tolerance for these last few if I either was A) younger when I first read them or B) had to wait for them to come out, thereby giving me a break from Georgia's antics and a chance to m...more
I really liked this one a lot. It had Mosimo the Italian Luuurve God making Georgia WAIT and see if he wanted to be "exclusive" with just her. Then there is the Play Mac-Useless where Dave the laugh is always lurking behind the scenes (ha ha) and declaring his love for her...maybe! Lots of fun Disco dancing and Viking Wedding talk...and other things that if you haven't read the books might sound completely mad! But that's what these books are, MAD!!! But so cute!
I don't think I've read all of the books in this series...but only because I couldn't get my hands on all of them! They are fantastic and I've raved about the others in the series here on Goodreads. Basically, if you manage to get through it without laughing you must be doing it wrong! Ha ha I'm kidding, I bet you're brilliant at it :-D These books are light and funny and I'd definitely read them again if I needed a pick me up. Brilliant.
Georgina is once again on the rack of luuurve. She is patiently waiting while Masimo, the Italian Stallion, considers her ultimatum of becoming her one and only or to just be mates. She is worried she made a terrible mistake in asking to become his girlfriend since Wet Lindsay is again her competition. Then there is still that Dave The Laugh fiasco of him saying something about not realizing what you had and losing it – whatever he was talking about! And the original Sex God is still away in Kiw...more
That summary pretty much explains everything that happens in this book, the seventh book in the Georgia Nicolson series. Georgia finally admits to herself that she may have feelings for Dave the Laugh. She tells Masimo that she wants to be with him and he turns her down. She can't stop thinking about Robbie.
So instead she focuses on other things, like her school's production of Macbeth. She also saves two small girls from the wrath of Wet Lindsay (Robby's ex, possibly Masimo's new girlfriend) an...more

Georgia Nicholson is so hilarious that I hesitate to read these books in public because of the snorting laughter they cause from me. I think Louise Rennison does a great job of catching the things that interest the average teenage girl the most: fitting in, having friends, wanting a "normal" family, & most especially the complications of guys (not to mention the fact that being a teenager is not so very far from being a kid, & though the average teenager wants to be taken seriously as an...more
The Love God is from Pizza-a-go-go and Georgia is in the cake-shop of love! There are no proper words to describe the hilarity and mayhem that Georgia Nicolson finds herself in. I have to say my favorite part about this book is the :

I love the Georgia Nicholson series. I first started reading the series in 2007, but stopped reading at book 8 or 9.
Although the series is a little on the sexual side and the humour is so bad, it's good, it's still a great read. It's easily to follow and very easy to imagine the scenes in your head!
I used to laugh when I read this book. Louise is brilliant

Kevyttä iltalukemista. Kirja ei kuitenkaan jostain syystä ollut läheskään yhtä hauska kuin sarjan aiemmat osat ovat olleet. Georgia toilailee kyllä samaan tahtiin kuin ennenkin, mutta teksti on paikoitellen hieman tekonokkelaa ja ennalta-arvattavaa. Ehkä tämä toisaalta johtuu myös siitä, että lukijana olen kohderyhmää 10 vuotta vanhempi...
Not the best Georgia Nicholson book (part of it was because I read it while I was tired), but still just as funny and LOL-worthy as ever. I'm very sad, though, that the Jesus figurine from previous books officially got snatched back from the character of Libby. I'll miss all of the Our Lord Sandra jokes. Jesus in rogue is just too funny.
