4 More Days Til Christmas Break (And Yes I Truly Have Been Counting Them Down)!

From Amazon: Margarita "Madge" Diaz is fat, foxy, and fabulous. She loves herself, and is adored by almost everyone else...except queen bee/student-body president Bridget Benson. These two girls have a history that's uglier than a drag queen after last call. During a heated argument, they decide there's only one way to end their rivalry: be named prom queen and the other backs off -- for good.  

Of course, everything looks different in the sober light of morning, but pride is at stake and the race is on. Madge is committed to doing whatever it takes to secure the title, but so is Bridget. And everyone's got something to hide.

Welcome to Winter Park High School, where the dirt's not just gonna fly...it's gonna go into freakin' orbit.

For today's pick, I chose Fat Hoochie Prom Queen!  Don't you just love that title?  During busy times like these, sometimes I just need to stop, breathe, and read something light and fun.  

I haven't read Nico Medina's other book The Straight Road to Kylie, nor have I heard much about this one.  I guess you can say I am judging this one by its great cover and awesome title.

Lauren: That's ok. You tried.

Stargirl: Lucky you! My students are taking final exams for the 1st semester tomorrow, so the rest of the week should be fairly easy.
