The new Friday night (my reading list updated, or, what I do instead of homework and going out on Friday nights)

I started a new book.  I finished all the reading I had to do for my literature class to date, so I took some time to do my own reading.  Since the newest book in the Ivy League series hasn't come out yet (I'm waiting for you Tap & Gown!) And I hadn't yet made it to Barne's & Noble to pick up the next book in the Blue Blood series I found in the teen section (don't make that face.  Reading is reading.) I started a book I picked up from the non-fiction section.  I was looking for a book for Amber about President Lincoln ( I was still stressing abut her birthday gift because I couldn't for the life of me remember any of things she had not so subtly be hinting at for the past month except for a teapot.  Which I later remembered to be perfume.  Don't ask how I got that so mixed up. I have no idea.) This one was on the shelf above all the Lincoln books and was all shiny with the fancy lettering and everything.  I picked it up and read the introduction, and was hooked.  I brought it home and left it in my car (cause I am too lazy to take things out... I still have luggage in there from december) and was able to pick it up when we were house hunting and had a little time on our hands between appointments.  Bitter is the New Black (Confessions of a condescending, egomaniacal, self-centered Smart-ass, or why you should never carry a Prada Bag to the unemployment office). It's a memoir about a successful woman that gets laid off shortly after 9/11 and has to deal with not having the financial security to shop and pamper herself all the time as she has become accustomed to doing.  And she uses sarcasm at every opportunity.  Including footnotes for further smack-talk.  I LOVE it. Because I appreciate good sarcasm and well-earned verbal beatings.  

By the time I had read about twenty pages I knew I was going to be needing all the rest of the books in her series of memoirs.  I am coming for you next!  All of you!

I picked up the rest of my teenvamp stories... just to complete the series.  Gotta do it.  I was horrified to find that while the first two are available in paperback only, the third is in hardback.  What?! What is wrong with you Barnes&Noble!  I come to you to complete a set, but you can't even make them match? I am so disappointed. But I bought them anyway. And will read them.  They are at the top of my list.  As long as they are finished by July so I can read Tap & Gown!
