Book Klub

Hello Urban Women,

To make up for my low number of posts in Sept I thought I would start mega posting for Oct. By the way, Oct means 10 because it's the 10th month. Think about it, Octomom, octopation etc. So random!

One of the hot trends for 2012 (yes, Urban Women, I am already looking into trends for next year) is exchanging the letter c for the letter k. For example, book Klub instead of club, or halloween kostume instead of costume. This sort of hip grammar will win you tons of "likes" on facebook.

Because the days are getting shorter and the moon kycles are on repeat I thought it would be perfekt to share some of the kool books I've been kheckin' out. In order to be urban, you need to know about literature and who is on the hot 100 list in the newspaper each week. I guarantee you will get so into these reads that your nights will soon bekome days again. This blog is also a shout out to all my urban women in my book klub-they've been dying to get their names mentioned on my blog-here it is gurls!

Harry Potter Series by He Who Shall Not Be Named
This book is a total sensation. It is the true story of an author who kept having extra terrestrial experiences at her highschool. She documents them in the style of a novel that is totally easy to read. If you like magic, romance, red heads, and freak weather you will love this book. It is a master tale about the dark arts.

John Grisham by John Grisham
Some of you may have heard Johnny Grish's name being thrown around in more academic circles, but I credit myself for being the first to bring him into the mainstream. This dudes books are basically texts for any sort of lawyer. You will be on the edge of your seat and flipping pages so fast you may need to stop half way through for a paraffin wax treatment. Check him out! Although I've never actually seen him, I am guessing he looks like a young Richard Gere.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
I have always wanted a dragon tattoo myself, but my dolphin tattoo covers up most of my lower back. Anyway, the title is what got me jazzed on this read. The title is virtually synonymous with "Urban Woman". This is the first book in a series of 3.The second book is titled (in Urban translation) The Urban Pyro, and the third, Urban Exterminator. The trilogy follows a total urban superhero woman. She eats some of my favourite recipes (fish paste on bread with unpasteurized cheese), loves to shop at Ikea, and has a last name that rhymes with salamander. Love her!

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
This is more of a classic weight loss tale. I found it really inspiring when I was trying to get my bikini body back after I over indulged in shaped cheese biscuits one time at Book Klub. Each of you will relate to someone different in this story of midget ladies.

Sailor Moon Graphic Novel by animation
This little gem is another one of my predictions for 2012, I have a feeling it is going to go VIRAL! It is a totally easy read with really cool pics about planet-hopping and having really big eyes. Keep your eyes peeled for hot merchandise. Good bye Hello Kitty, Hello Sailor Moon.

Hope you enjoy my Oct book Klub pics! The drawing below represents how in the olden days (when things were only black and white)urban women used to read topless because they had their bras burnt at the stake if they were caught reading. Sometimes they became so adept at undercover reading they could do it with their eyes closed. This is a totally gorgeous flashback to the days of yore.

Until next time,

Urban Woman
