Robin, I tried to comment back here the other day, but your site wouldn’t let me. I don’t know what I did to anger it.

Anyway, YES, I have read Cabot’s Size 12 and Size 14, and they’re both fun. The excerpt for this new one in the back of Size 14 was really, really funny, though, so I’ve particularly been looking forward to it.

Sorry, cold weather is affecting my effective humor response time. Like the weather, I am bitter.

All right, Dylan! Now go finish Pride and Prejudice, please.

Sara, that is SO sweet! Your husband is a gem. Thanks for telling me that. (And he ought to know about brave writers, being married to you.)

Patrick, I can’t believe it took you so long to notice that. I was really counting on you saying that days ago.

How come I think the title is a little misleading here?

I don’t think this is the ‘One Last Embarrasing Post’. I suspect there’s more embarrassing things that you’ll post in the future.

Robin, just had to tell you that I read your post to my husband—over the phone, no less—and he and I were laughing so hard we could hardly go on. But you know what he said? “You writers. All so brave.”

Thank you, Molly. I think I was supposed to read that long ago, wasn’t I? Like, in high school? I’ll catch up.

Katie Sis, what a combo to be enjoying at the same time! How can you possibly go do things in the real world while you’re reading both of those? And don’t be shy–let’s hear what your 7th-grade self had to say about Joel Pepper.

Michelle, how fun that you got to reread James Owen’s book! Isn’t that guy just way too smart? I’m amazed at his depth of knowledge (and memory) about all sorts of literary and mythic references. After finishing one of his books I always think I must not read enough.

Adrienne, I was thinking of you when I wrote this post. I’m glad you enjoyed it, and that you didn’t scare any more library patrons. As for Big Boned, that’s one Meg Cabot series I haven’t gotten to yet. I assume you already read Size 14 Is Not Fat? And I also assume you loved it, since you’re reading the next one?

I’ve given up reading Robin’s blog at the Reference Desk, so I was able to laugh without freaking out any patrons this morning (a day late, though–ah, well).

This week, I’ve been reading the new Alice book, Dangerously Alice, by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. This is one of those series I jump on as soon as a new title comes out, but I’m not as enthralled with this one. I think it might just be my mood. Next in my stack is the new Meg Cabot, Big Boned. I’ve been a-waiting for that one, too.
