Back in January, I was out in Denver with a bunch of other awesome people and agonistes and silveraspen decided to give out party favors.

SWEENEY AND ASPEN: Okay, who wants the Snuggie?
BECCA: ME! Me, me, pick me!*
SWEENEY AND ASPEN: No, Becca, you can't have the Snuggie.
BECCA: WHAT IS THIS INJUSTICE. >:O
SWEENEY AND ASPEN: We have a present picked out for you already! You get to read this YA romance novel and parodize it on your LJ. :D
BECCA: I am always glad to receive new books, and I am glad that you enjoy my parodies . . . . but I wanted the Snuggie.

* You laugh now, but you know you secretly want one too. I AM JUST NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT IT.

So that is how I ended up reading Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's Beautiful Creatures . . . but I have to confess, Sweeney and Aspen, I don't think I will be able to parodize it as much as you wanted me to! I mean, yes, it is super ridiculous in places, but it is also totally endearing in places. Tearing it apart would be like kicking a puppy!

( Cut for length! Ask for a book review and apparently you shall receive? )
