Bookgasm!!!

Recently, I eschewed my mother's teachings about library books being disgusting because they are full of other people's boogers, and I began, for the first time in my life, using the local library.  My first book was "In Defense Of Food: An Eater's Manifesto" by Michael Pollan, which was interesting, and it made me afraid to eat anything ever again.  I recommend it.  Then I realized I could finally see how Battlestar Galactica ended FOR FREE, so I took out DVD's.  Today, I got "Barney's Version", by Mordecai Richler, on a particularly brilliant friend's recommendation, and I am very excited to read it!  But the book that I am most excited about, and I think some of you might be excited about it too (or might even have read it, and if you have, don't be spoilers, or I will smack you!) is "Such A Pretty Fat - Seriously, Another Memoir - or Why Pie Is Not The Answer", by Jen Lancaster.

This book was recommended to me by my friend Hayley like this:  "Gilly you HAVE to read this book!  I swear to god, it's like YOU WROTE IT!!!" Which, of course, appealed to my narcissistic nature.  So I am going to read it and then tell you all about it (then I will be a spoiler, which is ok, because it's me).

And THEN the doorbell rang, and there was a box!  And I was orgasmic with glee because Jen's pants had already arrived, and I hadn't ordered anything aside from my shoes, which as you know, already arrived (and are super comfy and awesome - wore them out the other day - fabulousness!)  It was a BOX OF BOOKS!!!  But not just any box of books!  It's the Sookie Stackhouse collection - yes that's right, True Blood fans...I am going to be balls deep in vampire-y goodness!  My friend Jenny in Texas got into them, and she has graciously passed them along and OH MY GOD I am so excited!!  SO much to read!  When will I ever get to the blogs??
