This Wednesday, I am totally crazy to try Girl Parts by John M. Cusick. Tell me it doesn't remind you of Weird Science (1985)?
So far the reviews are mixed, however I am really interested to
try something that sounds like it is geared towards male readers.
Goodreads blurb: "Hello, David. My name is Rose. It’s a pleasure to meet you. We are now entering minute two of our friendship. According to my Intimacy Clock, a handshake is now appropriate…"
{Video advice: Wait or fast-forward to the part with the author.}
Does anyone else suffer from a post-80s crush on Anthony Michael Hall?
OMG! I have wanted this book since the moment I laid eyes on it! The cover alone is absolutely perfect, and a YA "girlie" book aimed at boys? It's too good to pass up!
ReplyDeleteSO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK. Yup, I think that sums it up. :)
ReplyDeletePS Doesn't the model look like Amy Pond? (From Doctor Who if you don't watch) :)
ReplyDeletethis book is another I want to read too-pretty cover
ReplyDeleteOoh..Great choice..And it's pinky! Very cute and really sounds like a mad scientist experiments ;p
ReplyDeleteExciting! It'll be interesting to see what ppl say. Looking forward to seeing your review of it, of course! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! I read the summary & I like it! I'll add it on my wishlist :)
ReplyDeleteHa, that sort of reminds me of the movie, Lars and the Real Girl..
ReplyDeletethis book does sound interesting, and I am definitely getting the Weird Science vibes! Sorry, though can't say I was suffering from the Anthony Michael Hall crush :)
ReplyDeleteThis actually sounds really good...even if it's not usually my type. Plus, that Weird Science vibe is totally there! Great pick, Juju!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! I will have to check this one out.
ReplyDeleteIt sure sounds interesting! I really hope you try it - I'm curious to know what you think.
ReplyDeleteLove the cover! It definitely sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on this one. Had it as a Wow a month or so back. Great pick

ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI read this one earlier this week. I really liked it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WOW today. I agree 100% with your comment about the cover for Illegal.
I have this one on my TBR list...another cant wait to read!!
ReplyDeleteThe book does sound like it could have been inspired by Weird Science. Sorry, the only thing I really remember Anthony Michael Hall from is Dead Zone...
ReplyDeletei'm curious about this one too. love the cover with its hints of girly pink.
ReplyDeleteI've thought this one sounded interesting too, though I'm not sure how the title will go over with male readers if that's the audience they're aiming for. I hadn't seen any teasers - that's a great and intriguing quote! It makes me want to read it even more! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW.
This one looks fascinating. I love the teaser.
ReplyDeleteAw, I LOVE Wierd Science!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis one looks like its going to be interesting, we'll have to wait and see!
I can't wait for this one either! Love the teaser. Awesome pick :)
ReplyDeleteNice pick! Mine is at The Crowded Leaf.
ReplyDeleteI will pass on the book but yes I also have a crush on AMH! He has filled oput quite nicely, don't you think? Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this one before, but there looks like be quite some interest in it. I love the teaser! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm officially intrigued! :)
ReplyDeletefor serious! I am SO excited about this one, too! And that video was awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick Juju! And it comes out soon. I really love the video and thanks for posting a link to the excerpt. I like your Teaser Blurb too. Wonder if the author has problems being mixed up with John Cusack? I can't believe what Anthony Michael Hall looks like now! He's like a totally different person. I love Sixteen Candles.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any reviews on it yet, although I've seen it pop up on a few different blogs. It looks interesting, though
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a fun book!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting I suppose...but I can't help but have flashbacks to the "Buffy bot" on an old episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". O_o
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
sounds quite delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteoh wait....i was dreaming about Anthony Michael Hall and delicious....LOL!!!
ReplyDeletebut the book sounds good too!
Stacy: LOL Are you serious or poking fun at me? I have the weirdest lingering crush on him. Which is weird 'cause he was a total skinny nerd in the 80s. ;)
ReplyDeleteGMR: LOL Buffy Bot? I had totally forgotten about that. I use to love Buffy.
Julie: OMG! I was thinking the very same thing! :) As for AMH, SO true! He was soooo skinny. I feel like having a Molly Ringwald marathon now ;)
Briz & 1stdaughter: *high fives*
JessBookLover: Mission Accomplished ;) Check!
Jenny: LOL YAH! *hugs* Another one! Whoot! I thought I was alone ;)
Alayne & Kelli: Thanks for popping by :)
Sara: Thanks sweetie!
Becky: I love it too! :)
Bookish: Good point! But I think the male minds goes to a dirty place when they think of girl parts ;)
vv: Agreed! :)
LadyTink & Sarah: Its ok ;) I know it's an odd fascination.
Tina: Agreed :)
Christie: Right? As a Latina with dark curly hair it bugs me :) Thanks for understanding.
Kim: I hope you try it :)
Jan: Thanks :)
Jenny: I totally haven't seen that. But you have me thinking I should ;)
Darlyn: Holla! Pink rules :)
Cara: oooo it kinda does! Good catch!
