The books in this hilarious series (American titles):

Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging
On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex-God
Knocked Out by My Nunga Nungas
Dancing in My Nuddy Pants
Away Laughing on a Fast Camel
Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers
Startled by His Furry Shorts
Love is a Many Trousered Thing
? (It's the series that never ends!)

Georgia Nicolson is a self-absorbed, British teenager who keeps a diary detailing her life in all its glorious angst(think Bridget Jones for teens). Her parents are mad and her friends just do not realize that Georgia is indeed the center of the known universe. She's got a cat who is half Scottish wildcat and a little sister who is only partially potty-trained. Georgia thinks about boys constantly and treats them kind of like Lays potato chips (you can't kiss just one).

She accidentally shaves off her eyebrows, goes to a party dressed as a stuffed olive, and has problems with nipple control. Nevertheless, she manages to attract the attention of Robbie the Sex-God, Dave the Laugh (who coins many funny phrases like piddly-diddly department and away laughing on a fast camel), and Masimo the Dreamboat. Georgia suffers from a severe case of what Dave the Laugh calls "the Cosmic Horn" and can't seem to settle down with just one boyfriend.

Georgia gets herself into one hilarious predicament after another. While this series isn't exactly classic literature, I dare you to read it without laughing out loud. ( )

Susan says: This is the fifth in the series of Georgia Nicolson books, and I noticed this one took me a lot longer to read than other books in the series. There were less funny parts and it seemed more parts that were trying to be funny. But this is still a really great book about friendship - even though Georgia spends a lot of time trying to find her next boy catch, she is all about her friends. She has one friend who she fights with constantly, but they make up within an hour because they can't stand to not talk. So this is a cute series. But I do think it's lower level because it's pretty simplistic, except for the British slang which might confuse younger readers. ( )

I enjoyed the fourth installment better than the previous one. Georgia is slowly starting to grow into her own and I think she’s slowly starting to act a little more mature and not so much like a little girl.

I’m starting to think in the end she may actually start exclusively dating Dave the Laugh. He’s her only semi-normal relationship and if they could only just see it.

That’s all of my Georgia Nicholson adventures for the year. I’m planning on catching up fully with the series next year.

The Georgia Nicolson Series by Louise Rennison is one of my favorite series of all time. The first book in the series is called Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging, this book will keep you laughing at every turn. The first time I remember reading on the back “Do not read in public, you will laugh out loud” or something like that, yet I still read it in school, and ended up making a fool of myself. ( )

Bedroom 7:00 p.m.

I am so depressed and bored I may even have to do some homework. My new address is:

Georgia Nicolson Crap House Crapton-on-Sea Crapshire Crapland

Just when the Sex God becomes Georgia#146;s official boyfriend, he decides to go off and snog sheep in Kiwi-a-gogo land, taking her heart with him. Georgia decides to display extreme glaciosity to all boys -- after all, a girl can only have her heart broken so many times.

Until, ohmygiddygodstrousers, she meets Masimo, the new Italian-American lead singer for the Stiff Dylans band. The Dreamboat has landed -- again -- and Georgia is away laughing on a fast camel (whatever that means)!
