SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE! Don't miss the book that the New York Times calls "Hilarious, " featuring a heroine that Booklist says is "utterly charming and unique." Teen Genius (and Hermit) Carrie Pilby's To-Do List: 1. List 10 things you love (and do them!) 2. Join a club (and talk to people!) 3. Go on a date (with someone you actually like!) 4. Tell someone you care (your therapist doesn't count!) 5. Celebrate New Year's (with other people!) Seriously? Carrie would rather stay in bed than deal with the immoral, sex-obsessed hypocrites who seem to overrun her hometown, New York City. She's sick of trying to be like everybody else. She isn't! But when her own therapist gives her a five-point plan to change her social-outcast status, Carrie takes a hard look at herselfand agrees to try. Suddenly the world doesn't seem so bad. But is prodigy Carrie willing to dumb things down just to fit in?

“Grocery stores always give me a bag when I don‘t need one, when I‘ve bought just a pack of gum or a banana or some potato chips that are in a bag already, and then I feel guilty about their wasting the plastic, but the bag is on before I‘ve noticed them reaching for it so I don‘t say anything.”

Congrats to @GondorGirl on reaching 10k. Truly awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

#GG10k

GondorGirl I relate so much to this opening line! 7y
mangokittty @GondorGirl me too! It especially gets me because I worked at a grocery store when I was 18. Bagging is the worst you‘re supposed to be fast and hope they don‘t say paper. I‘m beyond thankful for self checkouts. 7y

I just finished watching this on Netflix, and now need to read the book again - I loved it when I first read it 8 years ago, and the movie was so cute. Let be the actress they picked for her and this cartoonishly big-eyed movie poster.

Eyelit Good to know it's on Netflix - thanks for the heads up. The book has been on my radar for a while and I'll more than likely have time to watch it before I get a chance to read. 😁 7y
mcipher @Eyelit Its fun to do it "backwards" sometimes,, too! ? 7y
Eyelit True. I usually dislike doing it that way, but I do have limited time on this planet and sometimes (usually with YA) I use movies as cliffs notes... and to help me determine if I want the (more than likely) superior source material 😄 7y

mcipher @Eyelit I read this one before it was considered YA and it stood up for me as an adult book. I'm not always a good YA reader. 7y
Purrfectpages I feel like I read this years ago too, but can't remember! 7y
mcipher @Purrfectpages I hate when that happens! 7y

Reading on the kindle because I don't have power. We got back home today. No damage, just no power. Hope it comes back on soon, cause I have a lot of homework due Monday.

LauraBrook Glad it's just power and not a lot of other damage, and that you're safe! 7y
