I got what I wanted!

Posted on November 10, 2010Filed Under Me | 1 Comment

When my wife showed me the pic of that cake that I posted a little while back, I (only halfway) jokingly said,

“That’s all I want for my birthday.”

Yesterday was my birthday.

Yes I am.

Best teenage first person narrator since Holden Caulfield, and better still, she's a girl! Highly recommended. My 17 year old and I devoured it.

Starts so normal and ends so weird. Loved every minute of it. Yes, I went and read the Edgar Allen Poe novel too. I like Little Debbies too.
