personal note: I love these stunt memoirs! And as an added bonus, this one encourages snobbiness which I think sounds fantastic.

Haha, I think snobbiness should be encouraged!!
Ooo, that looks like lots of fun! It's going on my TBR list. My pick is here.
Definitely has a zany feel to it. Should have some humorous moments.
Haha sounds awesome! Great WOW pick. Mine is at The Crowded Leaf.
I want to read this one too - I love her snarky tone and it sounds like it will be in full effect in this one!
Thanks Booksnyc - I hadn't looked up her other book, aside from the one mentioned in the pub bio (which I hadn't heard of). I didn't realize this is the same author as Bitter is the New Black and Such a Pretty Fat, both of which I've heard great things about (although haven't read them yet).
