Who’s Up For BOOK CLUB OF THE DAMNED

Mark Henry, Synde & I have been discussing a group read of Tyra Bank’s release Modelland. Come on, things this brilliant must be read together. I can’t rock in a corner alone, I need my homies.

No one gets in without being asked. And with her untamable hair, large forehead, and gawky body, Tookie De La Crème isn’t expecting an invitation. Modelland—the exclusive, mysterious place on top of the mountain—never dares to make an appearance in her dreams.

But someone has plans for Tookie. Before she can blink her mismatched eyes, Tookie finds herself in the very place every girl in the world obsesses about. And three unlikely girls have joined her.

Only seven extraordinary young women become Intoxibellas each year. Famous. Worshipped. Magical. What happens to those who don’t make it? Well, no one really speaks of that. Some things are better left unsaid.

Thrown into a world where she doesn’t seem to belong, Tookie glimpses a future that could be hers—if she survives the beastly Catwalk Corridor and terrifying Thigh-High Boot Camp. Or could it? Dark rumors like silken threads swirl around the question of why Tookie and her new friends were selected . . . and the shadows around Modelland hide sinister secrets.

Are you ready? Modelland is waiting for you. . . .

We figure we’ll Tweet Chat the book by mid/end October. By then we’ll have a hashtag for everyone to join in!

    This book sounds like a hot mess.

    Oh.My.God!
    *Faints in horror*
    I can’t…no words…Tookie de la Creme?…Intoxibellas?… Whaaaa?
    My brain hurts.

  • CdnMrs September 23, 2011 at 1:30 pm

    Ok, ok I’ll read it but I’m going to find a way to make a drinking game out of it. Maybe every time Tookie De La Creme is told to “smile with her eyes” or the adjective fierce is used.
    I’m in.

    I’ve placed a hold on it at the library. Will wear dark sunglasses and a wig when I pick it up, but count me in too (unless library thinks better of shelving it and pulls it from inventory :p) I’m liking the drinking game idea :D

    oh good god. Really? Modelland? This is all you dear, but I will be eagerly awaiting to hear all the snarky goodness once you, Mark and Synde get done with it.

    it’s such a hot mess… I am so excited

    Sorry, have to pass. I’m allergic.

    • Wicked Lil Pixie September 23, 2011 at 5:04 pm

      You suck.

      • The Mighty Buzzard September 23, 2011 at 5:24 pm

        Dear Nat,
        Please excuse The Mighty Buzzard from the Book Club of the Damned. He is allergic to books that will almost certainly suck that hard.

    It’s a great idea but I don’t think I’ll read the book. I will, however, read the book clubs thoughts on it because I know I’ll enjoy that.

    • Wicked Lil Pixie September 23, 2011 at 10:34 pm

      Oh come onnnnn

      • Megs Z September 23, 2011 at 11:07 pm

        *sigh* I put a hold on it at the library but I’m #27 on the list and they only have 7 copies so I don’t know if I will get it on time.

  • Rain maiden Jen September 24, 2011 at 10:45 am

  • Spaz September 28, 2011 at 12:06 pm

  • Jenn Bennett September 28, 2011 at 3:11 pm

    Oh, I’m *so* in.

  • PJ Schnyder September 28, 2011 at 3:37 pm

    Gah. Heaven help me. I’m in.
