Choosing Beauty

These are the series of books by Scott Westerfeld which is all the craze in the teen world at the moment. It's serious business, it's being passed around my school in the Bronx as if it's going out of style. I decided to pick of the first book, Uglies, before my trip to Ireland, and finished most of it on the plane ride home. Pretty good, very futuristic with some good social commentary, which I think it good to get kids to think. These are the next two, which I picked up tonight.

My friend Bertina called and asked if I wanted to meet her at Barnes and Noble. It was true, I needed out of the house. Either I drank WAY more wine than I thought (I didn't drink anything after leaving Kate's apartment!), or I got food poisoning because I was so incredibly sick this morning. I couldn't get out of bed all day, except to run to my bathroom or hang my head over my trash can. Something got me good. I haven't felt right all day. I can't eat! I can barely drink water! This sucks. At least I can read!
