The Wonderful Ann Brashares
If you haven't read any of Ann Brashares books you have NOT lived. She is the Author that brings you the excellent series of the Traveling pants. These books include:
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
The Second Summer of the Sisterhood.
And Girls in Pants.
Now you are probably thinking, "Why Does anybody want to read about a pair of stinking pants for crying out loud?!" Well because it's more than just pants. It is about a group of girls and their lives as teenagers. I love these books, and you will too if you give them a chance. But however, if you are younger than 12, do not read these. Here are the rules to follow of the sisterhood.
"We, the Sisterhood, hereby instate the following rules to govern the use of the Traveling Pants:
"1. You must never wash the Pants."
2. You must never double-cuff the Pants. It's tacky. There will never be a time when this will not be tacky."
3. You must never say the word 'phat' while wearing the Pants. You must also never think to yourself, 'I am fat' while wearing the Pants."
4. You must never let a boy take off the Pants (although you may take them off yourself in his presence)."
5. You must not pick your nose while wearing the Pants. You may, however, scratch casually at your nostril while really kind of picking."
6. Upon our reunion, you must follow the proper procedures for documenting your time in the Pants: "On the left leg of the Pants, write the most exciting place you have been while wearing the Pants. "On the right leg of the Pants, write the most important thing that has happened to you while wearing the Pants. (For example, 'I hooked up with my second cousin, Ivan, while wearing the Traveling Pants.')"
7. You must write to your Sisters throughout the summer, no matter how much fun you are having without them."
8. You must pass the Pants along to your Sisters according to the specifications set down by the Sisterhood. Failure to comply will result in a severe spanking upon our reunion."
9. You must not wear the Pants with a tucked-in shirt and belt. See rule #2."
10. Remember: Pants=love. Love your pals. Love yourself."
So go enjoy yourself. If I didn't like Ann Brashares, I wouldn't recommend them to you. But remember, I would only recommend you the best.
Have a Happy Reading!

Howdy Miss Becca. So the off topic thing was in response to someone who posted really nasty comments on my blog about Doug Fabrizio, who hosts a radio show on National Public Radio. But never fear, your comments will always be welcome. As for posting links, you'll have to come and visit me at Kearns to get the inside scoop on that. And speaking of topics, I loved the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books and I liked the movie too. I really like Alexis Bledel... pretty, smart and a reader. Sounds a lot like you!
Welcome back Becca and happy Easter to you and your family. Hope you had fabulous adventures at Youth Camp... I can't wait to hear about them.
