"I started this story when I had very little time to really read and instead of cooking dinner, or going to bed on time, I stayed up reading and reading. I was quickly sucked in to this story and kept on reading because I wanted to know more.

Recently read the last book in the Georgia Nicolson by Louise Rennison: Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? I loved it, but then I loved the series. It ended in the best possible way. Already reviewed it on Amazon.
