Bite Me

1 Comment / 2010, Books in Bed, Favorites, Fiction, Sci Fi and Fantasy /

I would marry Chris Moore. I say that every time he publishes a new book. Every time. Sometimes I just say it for no good reason except that I love Chris Moore. I also love Abby Normal and would marry her if she wasn’t a fictional character and wasn’t my daughter’s age.

While I was reading Bite Me, I tweeted a couple of quotes from the book. Quotes that made me laugh my freaking ass OFF.

An inky-colored despair of rejection enveloped me like the black tortilla of depression around a pain burrito

I have sniffed the bitter pink Sharpie of despair

People! What’s not to love about lines like that?  Poor Chet! Poor Tommy! Poor Abby! Yay Kona (from Fluke!) Go Animals!

Go Christopher freaking Moore!

The Girl Who Chased the Moon

I’m still a Sarah Addison Allen fan. I keep waiting for the shoe to drop, for her to write a book that makes me cringe or roll my eyes. The Girl Who Chased the Moon isn’t that book. It’s as good as any of the others and in some ways better. (Teen sex, teen pregnancy, abortion, cutting but none of it was preachy or shocking or anything other than straight storytelling.)  I’m not 100% sure I loved the ending but I sure didn’t hate it (which is saying something.)  And, this one made me crave North Carolina BBQ. And cole slaw. Mmmmm
