Book #3: 13 Little Blue Envelopes - Maureen Johnson

as a youtuber, and a blogger, i was familiar with the BEDA and VEDA (blog/vlog-every-day-april) projects. this idea was put into action by Maureen Johnson. i then made it my own personal mission to find out about this woman. i discovered she was a writer living in new york city, with an addiction to twitter. just when i thought i was going to have to order one of her books from amazon, or something, it became apparent that 13 Little Blue Envelopes was on sale in the uk. so i grabbed the last one from the teen fiction shelf in waterstones.

i finished it in just a few days of reading it. the tale sweeps the main character Virginia off through Europe on a whirlwind, emotion-filled adventure, all because of her aunt Peg.
i don't want to say anymore, for fear of giving away the entire story. but it's a great read. especially if you're jetting off somewhere for the summer. it would be perfect for entertainment on the plane, or relaxing by the pool. a definite summer read.
maybe if you're looking for something more philosophical or intellectual this isn't the book for you. and if you're over seventeen or male, it probably doesn't interest you in the slightest. but i stand by my point of it being an adorable summer read for teenage girls.
