Gossip Girl - Books & TV Show

So, I saw the commercial for "Gossip Girl" coming this 2007 Fall season the CW (most places channel 11) network. The cast seamed pretty good, newcomers and that girl from "The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants" movie. The show was shot in NYC, I'm sure because I was notified of extra (background) work here.

The trailer seemed interesting...well okay, it looks pretty hot with all those fancy-ness going around. And it has been a long time since the crappy CW has put out a decent show. I think I'm going to watch this one. The creator of this show is the same guy that did The O.C., so you might give it a shot... I think his name is Jason Schwartz. Is it?

The book is pretty good so far for teen fiction category, though conservative parents probably (maybe) might not let their teens read it. It has curse words, lots of sex and scandal, which for me is "the more, the better."

The author is this woman by the name of Cecily von Ziegesar, which sounds a little hard to pronounce, but I shouldn't be complaining myself with a 13 letter last name.

The Gossip Girl has her own website too, Gossip Girl dot net.

There is a United Kingdom version of Gossip Girl dot net too.

So basically, all you need to know is : hot girls, hot guys, sex, alcohol, scandal and expensive luxury which equals to a fun teen intrigue.

It all starts WEDNESDAY - SEPTEMBER 19, 2007 at 9:00pm (8:00pm central) time.

Enjoy, I hope I will.

I'm so due for a juicy show.

You can get the books now at Amazon, or cheaper price there at the Amazon market place, which by the way I LOVE.

More Nora Robert's reviews to come....later in the blog...sometime...don't know when, but it will happen.

Nora Robert's Romance Novels

I'm a big Nora Roberts fan. Yes, it is romance, but she really is a great writer and has some amazing stuff out! No wonder there are so many millions of copies sold of her books.

Nora Roberts/ J.D. Robb are the same people.

She has a series of Rourke & Eve (under the J.D. Robb), a millionaire and a cop in the futuristic New York City.

And all the other ones are under Nora Roberts, which are truly great stories.

I may sound like a broken record in a romance review magazine, but really, having read many, many (good and awful) romance novels with really horrendous themes and writings, I can say Nora knows her stuff.

The Official Nora Robert's Website is here, and it has the list of all her books.

So, anyway, about one book that really gets me feeling cozy and want to curl up by a fire is Robert's "Northern Lights."


About the book "Northern Lights" :

It is a story of Nate, a cop that has his partner killed in Baltimore who decides to move Lunacy, Alaska to escape his reality and guilt of his past life. He becomes the sheriff of Lunacy and everything was going slow as he hoped until one day a group of kids decided to go up a mountain and needed rescuing.
It turns out that the kids saw a man stabbed with an ax to the chest, frozen high up in the mountains. It turns out, he has been up there for more than a decade while everyone though he just left, including his daughter Meg who is a pilot.
And so the story begins: a murder that happened decades ago and a romance between Nate and Meg.

Now let me warn you that when I bought this book, I excepted a nice romance. But it is more of a mystery and the beginning is very slow. I almost stopped reading the book because I didn't just couldn't stand it. I think the only reason I kept going was because I was stuck on a long subway ride from my university home.

Since having nothing better to do but check out those little old ladies giving you the evil eye sitting right across you and holding back the urge to give them a dirty look, I decided to read, and oh am I glad I did!

I hope you have the same expirience, becuase I pick that book up in the summer just to feel cool and cozy and warm, even though the book takes place in the cold Alaska.


I don't know what I'm doing here writing a book review when I should be writing my grad school admissions essay.

You tell me, please.

Insaniquarium- The Most Addictive....

Well, welcome welcome. I bet you're probably at work thinking "I'm so bored, what else can I do" like one of my friends.

Well, as I suggested, play Insaniquarium.

I must warn you, this is the most awful addictive IQ lowering game ever which just is plain silly.

But it is so bad, it's good!

Click here: for Insaniquarium.

There is the free version and the buy for whatever price version. I don't know who would be crazy enough to buy this (me probably), but the free version would feed your appetite, really.

But try it, for some reason, it's a fun way to kill time...which could be used for something more productive (like picking your nose).

Late For Work

...it is 8:36, and I'm late for working because I'm online. My boss is out of town so I can give myself the pleasure of being late.
