Day 5: A Book That Makes You Happy

I'm not going to go with any deep meaningful and inspiring books. Those are great and all, but they are not the books that make me my happiest.

 

Beauty Queens by Libba Bray

Actually the audiobook version. It was funny and I laughed. I LOVED MoMo B. ChaCha. His obsession with Elvis and infatuation with Ladybird were some of the best parts. Basically the book is about beauty pageant contestants that are stranded on an island after the plane crashes. Lots of funny moments. Like Lord of the Flies meets Drop Dead Gorgeous. 

 

Stardust by Neil Gaiman

This book always takes me to another world. I usually don't come back to reality until after I have finished it. And I love the movie as well, even if some parts were changed, it still works. Plus..Michelle Pfeiffer is HOT. Robert De Niro plays a cross-dressing pirate named Shakespeare. And a 90+ year old man does some killer fighting. But the book...when I read it I UNDERSTOOD why Gaiman was so popular and well respected.
