Book Covers & Synopsis of all the books of Confessions Of Georgia Nicolson series by Louise Rennison:
Picture
ANGUS, THONGS & FULL-FRONTAL SNOGGING
I am a facsimile of a sham of a fax of a person.
Georgia Nicolson's life is far from simple. Her cat, Angus, is the size of a small labrador. Her three-year-old sister may have peed somewhere in the room. And her best friend, Jas, thinks she looks like an alien because she accidently shaved off her eyebrows.
Enter the Sex God. This just might turn out to be the most fabbity-fab year ever!

Picture
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I'M NOW THE GIRLFRIEND OF A SEX GOD
I think i have snog withdrawal.
Georgia Nicolson is dating the Sex God so life should be perfect... Except for in Georgia's life, nothing is ever perfect. Her cat, Angus, is terrorizing the neighbourhood. Her sister, Libby (who is slightly mad), hides her pooey knickers at the bottom of Georgia's bed. Then the Sex God breaks it off because she's too young. It's time for Georgia to become a heartless boy magnet.

Picture
KNOCKED OUT BY MY NUNGA-NUNGAS
I was in a state of confusiosity.
Georgia Nicolson finally landed Robbie the Sex God and life is fab. But all of a sudden Georgia's ex, Dave the Laugh, is starting to look quite dreamy. Strangely, so does every other guy Georgia meets, even the new French teacher. Is Georgia becoming a shameless vixen?

Picture
DANCING IN MY NUDDY-PANTS
It's a shame not to share my snogging talents far and wide.
Georgia thought she had finally put her red-bottomosity to rest. But what is hse to do when Dave the Laugh is suddenly single and the Sex God is never around? And will Angus ever get over the shame of having his trouser snake addendums snipped? In Georgia's life, nothing ever turns out as planned! 

Picture
AWAY LAUGHING ON A FAST CAMEL
Ohmygiddygods trousers.
The Sex God has left the country, taking Georgia's heart with him. She decides to display glaciosity to all boys - a girl can only have her heart broken so many times. Then she meets Masimo, the new singer for the Stiff Dylans. Here comes the Dreamboat, and Georgia's Away Laughing on a Fast Camel (whatever that means).

Picture
THEN HE ATE MY BOY ENTRANCERS
Let the overseas snogfest begin!
Georgia and Jas are off to Hamburger-a-gogo land! Georgia plans to track down Masimo, the Italian-American dreamboat, but after a long week in America, she only succeeds in learning importantish things - like learning how to ride a bucking bronco. Will georgia reel in the Italian dreamboat? Or is she destined to live forever all aloney on her owney?

Picture
STARTLED BY HIS FURRY SHORTS
On the rack of romance. And also in the oven of luuurve.
Woe is Georgia: Dave the Laugh has declared his love for her (atleast she thinks he was talking about her), and she has finally given Masimo an ultimatum to be her one and only and he has to think about it. And will she ever be able to stop thinking about the Sex God plucking his guitar strings of loveosity?

Picture
LOVE IS A MANY TROUSERED THING
The nub and gist is that I have accidently acquired two Luuurve Gods.
Oh my giddy god! Georgia has somehow landed back in the cakeshop of agony now that Robbie the Sex God has returned and she has three potential snoggees. What's a proper girl to do? Hide, ofcourse, and hope that she will be able to choose one before she ends up all aloney on her owney.

Picture
STOP IN THE NAME OF PANTS
Time to gird the loins and pucker up.
Blimey O'Reilley's trousers! When Georgia embraced being the girlfriend of a Rock legend/Luurve God, she thought that was the end of her lovenosity woes. As usual, Georgia is the last to know what she is talking about. Now there's a small matter of a snogging accident involving her matey-type mate Dave the Laugh and some toasted newts in her undercrackers. Can Georgia lock away her red-bottom and throw away the key?

Picture
ARE THESE MY BASOOMAS I SEE BEFORE ME
It's a bit early to get swoony knickers, but i have got them on.
For Georgia, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Just when she thought she was the one-and-only girlfriend of Masimo, he's left Georgia all aloney on her owney - again. The one person she wants advice from is Dave the Laugh, but does he have the hump with her too? It's time for Georgia to get to the bottom (oo-er) of this Dave the Laugh spontaneous puckering business once and for all.

When I saw the movie and looked up more about it on the internet [yes,  I AM  a geeky girl :P ], my first reaction was -"WHAT ?!?! A 'self-help' book ?? How can that possibly be ?" It was weird to think about it at first but the movie is great. I love it - it's funny and it lives up to the books name - it explores the signs given by men. When I read the book, I realized that the movie did a great job of showing the signs in practical life and how much women obsess about them - it's kind of hard to imagine that when you're just reading the book. The movie includes clips of random people giving advice about the signs [I love that part !] and shows how interconnected but so different, the stories and situations of our main characters are. It was a delight to watch the transition of each and now when I compare it to the book, I'm pretty glad it got made into a movie. :)
Yeah, I know - most movies are unfair to the awesome books they try to follow - but this movie is completely 'da bomb' :P 
Must watch :D

Dawn <3

Oh, and here's a song that comes in the end of the movie. I love it and it ran in my head the time I read the book. Very cute. Enjoy :)

How the story behind Georgia Nicholson began:
    I used to live in Notting Hill, London and I wrote and performed a one-woman show called Stevie Wonder Touched My Face about living in Notting Hill Gate and what it was like being a girl. Growing up. It started off when I was little, and at home, and then in London. It was a really big hit in England.
    One of the things that I also did was to write for a London newspaper. I used to write articles on everything I liked. It was quite good fun. I wrote an article called "Dating Over 35" and how pointless it is, because if you’re on your own after thirty-five, that’s because there is something wrong with you.
    Anyways, I got a call from Picadilly Press and they said, "We loved your article, it was so funny, would you like to write a book?" And I thought, "Ooh, how sophisticated!" And she said, "No, no, no, we’d like you to write a teenage girl’s diary." And I said, "Oh, I’m quite flattered, but why me?" And she said, "Well, we read your article and we thought that it was so self-obsessed and so childish that you could really do a good job."
    And they really did just let me write it; they didn’t interfere, and I could just write it and write it as it came. The main character Georgia is really based on my experiences of when I was fourteen. I wrote the book to make myself laugh. I always wrote what I remembered making me laugh when I was that age. I wanted Georgia to be someone who is a bit stupid and self-obsessed and difficult and funny and rude, and a bit jealous and all those other things. But I also wanted her to have a good heart.
    I had a boy say to me about Angus, Thongs and Full-frontal Snogging, "I really wished I would have read this book years ago, because then I would have realized how mad girls were. I wouldn't have wasted all this time thinking they were normal."

I'm pretty sure that most of you would've seen the movie - even I saw the movie before I read the book. I'm not really a movie critic :P but here we go.
Well, it is a pretty good interpretation of the story. It captures the most important points with a few additional details [which are awesome ! ] and the scenes are mesmerizing. For the readers with a bit of a weak imagination, the movie really helps to see Landon's transformation. Like the book, the movie also pin-points to the part where Jamie warns Landon to not fall in love with her and reminds him about it when he confesses. The other best part of the movie is when Landon asks the reverend to have faith in him. That part is not in the book but it really gets the viewers completely emotional. Another thing I loved in the movie is how Landon works to fulfill everything on Jamie's to-do list, which is also not in the book - I love how he asks her to stand on the state border and tells her that she's in two-places at once ! How cute. Also the last part of the movie, where he comes back to see her father, the conversation between them is something I always remember - that he was her miracle. 
Another win for romance movies. (Yes it is sappy and cheesy for all the guys :P ) And this song played in my head the WHOLE time I read the book ! It was like I had background music for the time I was reading it. 

An awesome movie based on an awesome book. Must watch for romance lovers. :)
Loads of Love,
Dawn <3
