GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Drizzle is on our state book list and one of our Chat & Chew book club picks. The kids reviews were mixed on this one and sadly, it was my least favorite of all the books we read for Chat & Chew. The kids that liked it said it had action, but for me the plot was slow and dragged too much. The book could have been edited down and I lost interest in the story.

I've loved her since Veronica Mars too. It's one of my favorite shows. I loved her even more when I found out she's a vegetarian and I love her even more now that I know she likes The Hunger Games. If she did an ALA poster I would definitely buy it. :)
ReplyDeleteI love love love Kristen Bell! Loved her since Veronica Mars, too :)
ReplyDeleteDitto the above comments.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Kristen is so lovely and funny, and I was psyched when I saw her tweets.
ReplyDeleteVeronica Mars <3
ReplyDeleteI saw some of her Mockingjay tweets and loved them! She's so fun.
Awesome! I've always loved her, and now she just went up a few more points in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteYou guys have stolen the words from my heart...I LOVE Kristen Bell too.. :) BTW have a look at her twitter http://twitter.com/imkristenbell
ReplyDeleteI liked her, but now I love her.
ReplyDeleteAs if I didn't love her enough before now I must worship her! I have so much respect for the fact that she's pimping reading. That it's the Hunger Games (and she's Team Peeta!) to boot just rock my socks off.
ReplyDeleteShe would be awesome for an ALA poster. She is beautiful, plays nerdy characters, and knows her books!
