let me just get this out of the way: i heart chuck bass. yes. i am THAT 30-year-old who must have her gossip girl fix each week and counts the cw as her 2nd favorite network (no fears, nbc, you are still numero uno . . . as long as you keep jim halpern around. but back to the books - upper eastside? new york city wealthy lifestyle? great fashions? a lovable cad? secrets? true-love beyond class . . . wait. don't i watch this show? no. no you don't because these books are set in 1899!!! a turn-of-the-century historical fiction gossip girl-esque series? oh my. my nerdiness will not contain itself.
i have downed both of these books in record time. i was craving something fun to get into and i found such respite in
the luxe and
rumors by anna godbersen. now that i've gobbled these up, i have to wait until january 27th of 2009 for the third,
envy, to make its appearance. that's okay. maybe i can win some cool nars goodies from godbersen's
website. (yeah, i am not sure i get the connection, but as far as sponsors go, you can't get too much better than nars!)
