Been a Long Time, Guys!

Hey everyone! I've missed the blogging world, although I'm not coming back yet...I just quickly wanted to let those who are still around know that the reason I've been MIA for so long is because..well, I got in a car accident. Yeah. I was hit by a semi and every single one of the best doctors in the state said I was going to die. They told my parents that everyday. And yet...I lived. And I'm still here today. With a traumatic brain injury and a handful of other problems, but things are still going for me. However...long story short, I don't enjoy reading as much as before and I just...I miss it, and yet I just don't read as much. It takes me longer, and any sad scene makes me cry like crazy. I'm still a little crazy that way. But hey, life is good, you guys are still awesome, and I'm just glad I could get into my old blog! Just wanted to give the world a quick update, not that I'm really planning on anyone seeing this anyway :)

Quick Review: The Taming of the Tights by Louise Rennison

 

  The Taming of the Tights by Louise Rennison (September 2013)

Gadzooks! It's another term at Dother Hall for Tallulah and her mates. But can they keep their minds on the arts with all those boys about...After the thing-that-will-never-be-mentioned last term, Tallulah is keen to put all thoughts of Cain behind her. But that seems like that the last thing he wants. Their performing arts college may have been saved by Honey's mystery benefactor, but for how long is anyone's guess. So will Tallulah finally get to wear those golden slippers of applause or will Dr Lightowler swoop down on her glory days? And with Seth and Flossie forever snogging, Vaisey and Jack loved-up and Phil and Jo fondly biffing each other can Tallulah resist the call of her wild boy? Don your craziest tights and Irish dance your way to some surprising and hilariously unexpected answers...

 I love this series. It's always good for a quick read and lots of laughs. I've got to say that I enjoyed the second one the most, but the third and final book in this series wasn't a disappointment!

Right from the start Tallulah is up to her usual craziness. I think the best thing about these books is that our heroine doesn't seem able to help herself from being crazy. No matter where she goes or what she does, something hilarious and embarrassing has to happen. It's what makes this series so great and unique.

In this final installment, Lullah gets her first proper boyfriend, picked from her pool of three: Alex the Good, the Dark Black Crow of Heckmondwhite (Cain), and Charlie. No spoilers here, though! Though if you've read the books, it probably won't be too big of a surprise. Dother Hall continues to break down, the Tree Sisters continue to be violent and boy-crazy, and the Dobbinson's take foraging to beyond-extreme. The owlets aren't as big of a feature in this one as they've "flown the nest".

I loved this book. It's light and funny and filled with amusing Irish words that I have to look up in the back of the book. If you haven't read the first book, I recommend you do so right away! You can't be disappointed with such genuine and strange characters.

4/5
