Very unlike my own adolescence

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison

September 24, 2020 by Malin 1 Comment

#CBR12 Bingo: Nostalgia (set in the 1990s, when I was a teenager) Official book description: Angus: My mixed-breed cat, half domestic tabby, half Scottish wildcat. The size of a small Labrador, only mad.   Thongs: Stupid underwear. What’s the point of them, anyway? They just go up your bum, as far as I can tell.   Full-Frontal Snogging: Kissing with all the trimmings, lip to lip, open mouth, tongues … everything.   Her dad’s got the mentality of a Teletubby (only not so developed). Her cat, […]

cbr12bingo – Yellow (and the close of a ten-part series)

Stop in the Name of Pants! by Louise Rennison

Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? by Louise Rennison

August 10, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

Well friends, we have come to the end of my re-adventures with the misadventures of Miss Georgia Nicolson! I thought, incorrectly of course, that it would be a fight to finish this series. I bought it during an “online shopping under the influence” session, and I thought that it would be a bit of a laugh down memory lane- but one that ended far short of the destination. When the ten-book set bounced onto my porch one morning, my first thought was “what have I […]

cbr12bingo – Friendship (MORE adventures in teenage time-travel!)

Startled by His Furry Shorts by Louise Rennison

Luuurve Is a Many Trousered Thing by Louise Rennison

August 3, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

I have, for the second-t0-last time, dipped my toes back into a favorite series from my early-teen years. Georgia Nicholson, our teenage Bridget Jones stand in, is back (in her words) “on the rack of luuuuuuuurve”. She’s in limbo between Robbie, the aforementioned “Sex God”, and Massimo, the “Luuuurve God”. Robbie left England to study in New Zealand, and sends wistful letters her way. Massimo replaced Robbie in his band, the Stiff Dylans, and is not ready to commit to being anyone’s boyfriend. Also, both […]

More Teenage Time-Travel

...and That's When it Fell Off in My Hand by Louise Rennison

Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers by Louise Rennison

July 15, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

As in I am traveling back to both the time of my early teendom and the book series that I loved at that age; Louise Rennison’s Confessions of Georgia Nicholson series. You’ll find my first block of re-reads back here, if you are so inclined. A fun thing happened while digging back into the misadventures of Georgia and her mates: I was struck by the sudden discovery that I had not, in fact, actually read the entire series! I realized that I was in unfamiliar waters about […]

A few weeks back I was a few drinks in and thought it would be an excellent idea to order the entire 10-book Confessions of Georgia Nicholson series. I  read them initially as they came out, what with being a ridiculously over the top teen girl in the early aughts, and loved every second that I spent with Georgia and the Ace Gang. Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging kicked off the series back in 2000, and the series came to an end in 2009. I had […]

Snogging means kissing

May 12, 2018 by tillie 5 Comments

This book is a cultural institution in England. It was recommended to me so when I found it at my local tesco’s I was like, yeah, might as well. While I was reading it, every woman was like “omg I totally remember reading that when I was fourteen.” There’s even a movie! Maybe I would have liked it better if I was fourteen. Angus, thongs, and full-frontal snogging is a year in Georgia’s life featuring her crazy cat, and her quest to snog Sex God, […]
