Confessions of Georgia Nicolson #4
Dancing in My Nuddy-Pants
Since Georgia's been dating the yummy scrumboes Sex God, Robbie, her glossy lips are always at the ready, and her "red-bottomosity" is kept under wraps. Along with Naomi the Sex Kitten's new litter (thank you, Angus), Robbie's announcement that his band will be traveling to Hamburger-a-gogo land (Georgia can only hope to go with), and a class trip to France, Georgia is one camper in a state of teenage splendiosity. The small trouble is, Georgia also wonders if Dave the Laugh might still be the guy for her, and when Robbie gives a surprise-ending twist to his travel plans, she gets a "weird feeling of reliefosity" that makes her wonder if she must venture out and bravely use her "red bottom wisely."
Another first-rate entry in the diary tales of Georgia, Nuddy-Pants will keep fans panting for more. While Rennison hasn't provided any earth-shattering events in her heroine's life, this book shows Georgia's true nuddy-pants personality to be just as funny as ever. With plenty of juicy hints at what's to come, this laugh-out-loud read is one not to miss. Shana Taylor

What Type of ‘Horn’ Do You Have?
Listen up chums and pals! Here is a test to determine what type of Horn you have. If you don't understand what I am saying, then you are le stupid and must read these books as soon as possible. Leave your results in the comments section!
1. You have a boyfriend who you have been seeing for a while now. Things are getting more serious. One night you go to the bar and see a cute guy. You think:
a. I’d like to snog him to within an inch of my life
b. He’s cute, I do fancy him, but I’m already snogging a Sex God
c. What cute guy? I have eyes only for the Sex God
2. You are still with said boyfriend (the Sex God), when you see your mate walking around with a cute guy you snogged back in the day. They’re holding hands. You think:
a. I’m pretty jealous because he is an ex-snogee and also a particularly good nip libbler
b. Hm, he’s pretty groovy and the cat’s pajamas. So are his dishy mates. BUT I AM THE GIRLFRIEND OF A SEX GOD.
c. Who even notices that? I’ve never snogged anyone aside from my boyfriend.
3. One of your best friends has started seeing your ex-snogee. You notice that he doesn’t give her a quick kiss when he meets up with her. You:
a. Vindictively think that he obviously doesn’t like her and think about how he’s quite groovy looking
b. Think it’s weird, but, HELLO, you’re dating a Sex God
c. Oh, sorry, I was too wrapped up with Hunky, what did you ask again?
4. Your friend is dumped by her new fling only weeks after they became snogging partners. You:
a. Think about how they didn’t work well together anyway and avoid even talking about the subject manner because you’re suddenly feeling guilty
b. Feel badly, and think that he’s kind of cute, but you’re still dating a Sex God
c. Comfort her and give her a Jammy Dodger to make her feel better
If you answered MOSTLY As, then you have THE COSMIC HORN
You, like Georgia, cannot get a hold on your red-bottomosity. Youaccidentally snog your friends’ boyfriends at fish parties, and cannot seem to control the puckerability of your lips. You see all boys as potential snogging partners (well, accepting cases like Spotty Norman and Mark Big Gob). Sometimes, you can’t even differentiate between inanimate objects, cats, and boys, such is your way of fancying everything in the universe.
If you answered MOSTLY Bs, then you may have the GENERAL HORN
Again, like Georgia you fancy loads of people. To differentiate from the Cosmic Horn, you don’t necessarily act on your urges. You may or may not flaunt your red bottomosity and snog your friends’ boyfriends, but you are not yet to the point where you would fancy everything in the universe.
If you answered MOSTLY Cs, then you have the SPECIFIC HORN
Like those with huge knockers and annoying fringes, you fancy only one person. Like Jas and Hunky, you have no desire whatsoever to snog another. And think your best mate, who has a touch of the red bottomosity about her, is awful for accidentally snogging her friend’s boyfriend.

(in Paris)
Ellen tried to sneak a book under her pillow, but I saw it. "What's that?" I asked.
"Oh, it's just a bit of homework I brought with me."
Rosie fished it out and read out the title. "It's called Black Lace Shoulder, a story of passion on the high seas." Now we know what sort of homework she is doing: snogging research. It was a semi-naughty book. I flicked through it and found a bit to read to the rest of the gang.
"'He captivated women with his fierce, proud face, his lean, well-exercised body and his aura of sexuality, wild as that of a stallion.'"
Rosie said, "That's like Sven."
Jas said, "What, he's like a stallion?"
"Yes."
"Quel number have you got up to now with le stallion in loons on the scoring system?" I asked.
"Eight." Upper-body fondling indoors. All of our eyes drifted towards Rosie's basoomas, which, it has to be said, are not gigantic.
Ellen said, "Is it, does it... I mean, are your, erm, nungas... getting bigger?"
Rosie looked down the front of her T-shirt. "I think they are a bit. Not as much as Georgia's, though."
Oh no, here we go. I thought my nunga-nunga holder had stopped this sort of talk. To change the subject I said to Ellen, "What number have you got up to with Dave?"
She went all red. "Oh, well, you know, he's like really good, well, kisser."
Yes, as it happens, I do know that he's a really good kisser.
Rosie was all interested now. "Has he touched anything?"
Ellen was about to explode from redness. "Well, he stroked my hair."
We haven't even bothered to put hair-stroking on our snogging scale. If we had, it would have been minus one."

This series continues to be as ridiculous and funny as ever.
Also I’m glad our girl has got rid of Robbie. No regrets.

Disclaimer: the following conversation was translated from Dutch by TVoR as a courtesy to the internet.
So the other day I was having dinner with my family and, naturally, this conversation happened:
Brother: We should beat X.
(X is my father. We call him by his first name but he's very paranoid about the internet finding out all about him. Therefore, he's named X, as only the most secret of identities deserve to be called.)
The Voice of Reason: Sure.
Brother: 'Till he dies.
Sister: Yes. Then I can put his picture on my mantelpiece next to my scented candles.
The Voice of Reason: You can do that now, too.
Sister: It's not the same. He has to die for the full effect.
The Voice of Reason: True.
*X clears throat*
The Voice of Reason: What?
X: I don't want a Church funeral.
The Voice of Reason: By the way, they will never let you have candles in your room.
Sister: Sure they will.
X: No candles in the rooms. If you have to burn something, do it while we're watching.
Sister: Losers.
Sister: STOP BREATHING. IT'S ANNOYING.
This is a fairly standard conversation for us. Add to that the fact that my father is being a real Vati right now, and it might seem that Georgia and I have some things in common. Therefore, I've appointed myself as Georgia Nicolson's life coach. It's an honour, really
First I have to deal with her luuuuuurve life. I thought it was time to make a pro/con list about the main boys she's been involved with (thus not counting Mark Big Gob, Whelk Boy, Isaac the Premature and Incest James). This is an objective score board:
I forgot to mention it, but Cecile and I have agreed that this is what DTL approximately looks like:
Quite dishy, isn't he?
More Georgia issues will be dealt with in the future. I do have one question, though: How come Jazzy Knickers is Georgia's bestest pal instead of Rosie? It does not make sense, I tell you.

3.5 stars as always!
Good grief, Georgia is such a bad friend tbh. SO inconsiderate and selfish actually, but she is so funny I find myself laughing out loud multiple times by things she says.
So eventhough she annoys me, she also amuses me.
This series reaaaally is an easy-to-read, fast paced series. It's perfect for when you don't know what to read and just want something quick and light.

Sadly the 2-star enjoyment from book 3 has dipped! In this book Georgia Nicolson is supposed to be 15 years-old, and some of the decisions being made here were painful. Minimal, if not recessive, character growth.

Georgia Nicolson is an icon. A legend. And she is the moment.

This series is fun, but this one wasn't as laugh out loud funny as the others. Georgia is a terrible person, but really embarrassing things happen to her constantly, so I am here for it.

All of these books are just as good as they were 16 years ago.

Ooh hoo! I think this book is my favorite in the series. The imagery is absolutely wonderful. M’sieur Call Me Henri, the French student teacher. Libby’s “fwend” Mr. Cheese—“a bit of old Edam in a hat.” I wonder if Terry Pratchett borrowed from the idea when he created Horace, the Lancre Blue cheese, thief and troublemaker that sports the Nac Mac Feegle clan tartan skirt. ;) The image of Angus driving the Prat Poodles crazy on the fence, “raising his paw slightly higher and higher” then “tapp[ing Georgia’s] head with a paw” as she walks by. I love it! So cute!
Favorite moments/lines:
“We set off with Gorgey Henri for the Eiffel Tower. I was singing ‘Fallink in luff again, never vanted to…’ until Rosie pointed out that Marlene Dietrich sang that and she was by no means a French person.”
“notre dame
4:00 p.m.
Very gothic. No sign of hunchbacks, though. So… with a marvelous display of imaginosity… the ace gang got into their hunchback gear (haversacks under coats)…shuffling around and yelling, ‘The bells, the bells.”

This was all good fun, but didn't really advance the plot a whole lot. It's too bad Robbie's leaving for New Zealand but that means that Dave the Laugh will get his chance to shine! And everything will be fantastic, except P Green will still be nauseating. At least the Bummer twins are in deep shit for stealing.
I'm gonna miss Sven until he comes back from whichever Nordic country he belongs to.

I literally don’t remember a single thing that happened and I JUST finished it. Could it be because I’m deeply sleep-deprived? Possibly. But it was plain 184 pages of forgettable melodrama

This was fun enough. I’m definitely interested to see where the story will go from here.

July 24, 2015
Don't get me wrong, I love these books, but it seems like the same things happen to Georgia over and over again. She's still dating the Sex God, but then Dave the Laugh comes along and snogs her and shes as confused as ever. And this seems to be happening like, once every month. And then Dave starts dating Georgia's friend Ellen, and she starts getting all jealous. FOR GOD SAKES WOMAN, IF YOU WANT TO BE WITH DAVE, JUST DUMP THE SEX GOD ALREADY.
I'm most definitely glad that Robbie (the Sex God, obviously) told her that he was leaving and going to New Zealand for a year. I love her, but Georgia, guuuurl, you need to put that red bottomosity to rest and figure out the whole boy situation.
This book was definitely full of hilariosity. I especially loved the obsession her and the Ace Gang had (or still have, considering he's still there in the books) on the new French teacher. And the trip to Paris was downright hilarious as well. It would be like a Paris street performer to pretend that they are juggling someone's breasts. Speaking of breasts, Georgia is me when I was her age. I was blessed (NOT) at the ripe age of 13 with HUGE nunga-nungas. I did not want them. I still have them. Ugh.
I think I have the General Horn for these books. I cannot put them down. Such guilty pleasure novels, these are. And I love every minute of them.

YAY! My first reread using the reread feature on Goodreads!

My comment, upon finishing this was, "Georgia is annoying. Not as annoying as Dave the sodding Laugh though." This sums things up nicely.

Even though I skipped from the first book to the fourth I had no trouble following the story (that's the beauty of these funny and light books) and of coarse I enjoyed it very much.
