Diary of a Teenage Girl: Caitlin

[Danielle]

So as a starting topic, what does everyone think of Caitlin as a character? To perfect, or just right?

[Jordan]

I'm afraid I have nothing to say since I have not read any books with Caitlin. :(

[Danielle]

we'll if you're going to be that way, then what do you think of Kim, Miss Anne?

[Emily]

Can I answer the original character?
I loved her. She is in a lot of ways, the opposite of me, and it's always fun to read about what I wish I could be more like. Her struggles definitely were real, and the fact that she struggles with high and mightiness is amazingly funny and true to me.
So, I just jumped in right there.

[Jordan]

woops! I totally didn't know you replied to my post....and now that I am here to answer, I've forgotten what her character's like! All I can say is that I like how she follows her gut and instinct. I read the book over a year ago so I've forgotten a lot.

[Emily]

it's one of those books I remember for some reason

[Melody [not just some girl you can sway]]

She's cool. I like her. She's one of Melody's characters... need I say more?

LOL, my name is Melody, also.

[Danielle]

Yeah she is. She's from the first series of Diary of a Teenage Girl.

These are my favorite Christian books ever... mostly cause they don't feel that preachy I guess :P and yet they have that message there. It's lovely.

[Melody [not just some girl you can sway]]

I totally agree with you... a lot of Christian lit is preachy, and it doesn't apply to real life, but her books do.

[Danielle]

They really do. Which is your favorite? I'm personally a Caitlin/Chloe fan for the Diary of a Teenage Girl books, and then I truly love the Notes From a Spinning Planet books as well.

[Melody [not just some girl you can sway]]

Chloe or Maya. I started reading the first Maya book, and it is really good. Maya is a pretty hard-core green-girl, and I try to be green, and I'm also considering becoming at least semi-vegetarian. I couldn't stand being vegan, though. Most of the dairy and egg stuff I have I know where it comes from... Our milk, straight off our neighbors dairy farm (STILL with the cream, yum!) and we have chickens.

Hey, anyone here still get on? :)

[Jessica]

Hey! I havn't read the books about Caitlin yet I have only read the first book in the Maya series :-D

[Sandy]

Oh. All I read is the Caitlin series. I own all five. AAAAAAH IT ROCKS!!! I wish our library had the Chloe books.

[Danielle]

The Chloe books are my favorite! But I love Caitlin also (:

[Faith]

I've only read the 1st Caitlin book, but already I'm hooked. I love it!!!! It captures your heart, and pulls you into the book. :-)

[Sandy]

I KNOW!!! IT SO DOES!!! I'M SO CRAZY ABOUT THAT SERIES I STARTED TELLING ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE ON GOODREADS ABOUT IT!!! :)

[Faith]

I could not stop reading it!!!!! I was really surprised when Clay died though. :-( It was really abrupt and unexpected.

[Sandy]

I know! And I was like, "WAIT A MINUTE - NO - HE'S TOO AWESOME TO DIE - WHAT'S CAITLIN GONNA DO WITHOUT AN AWESOME YOUTH PASTOR!!!" Theeeeen she survives anyway :) So do you have the next book?

[Faith]

I'm gonna start reading it Tuesday. I AM SO EXCITED!!!! :-)

[Sandy]

Cool! Did you buy it or get it from the library? Our library only had the second book, so I had to buy the rest to read them - but it was wooooorth it! :)

[Faith]

Library. I want to make sure I like a book before I buy it. I'm going to start saving up for the 1st one!!! :-)

[Sandy]

Cool. Wow, does your library have the whole series? Since Melody Carlson is Christian, I've found her books are usually hard to get without buying them… (haha I keep asking you questions)

[Faith]

Haha, ya, I don't know why they have them, they just do. :-)

[Sandy]

:O Do you go to the Library of Congress or something?

[Faith]

No. It's a public library.

[Sandy]

haha I figured
