Hi everyone!!! :)
Today I want to share with you the beginning of the book I'm currently reading
And this is its beginning:
" Tuesday, September 7, 5:39 PM
Snow Angel: hey, mads! 1st day of 10th gradedown the tube-
wh-hoo!
mad maddie: hiyas, angela. wh-hoo too u 2. "
Yes, the beginning is like messengers on the computer. I really love the idea it’s really peculiar. I really like the book, although at the beginning I thought it was OK.
Well, this is me, but what about you?
I honestly don't think I could read this book because I can never figure out all the shorthand. Ha! This is my first time participating in Book Beginnings for at least a half a year so I am just getting back into the swing of things. I hope you drop by and visit my blog, too.

Fortunately, there is not much shorthand, although I have had to check out some words :(
DeleteLike Anne, I don't do text-speak very well. Not sure that I could keep going if the book had a lot of that in it. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Friday Post. If you'd like to take a peek.
No, no, there is not much and you can find pages which translate it :)
DeleteThis one would be hard for me! Although I just learned a text shorthand the other day that I am going to start using with my law partners: TLDR (too long; didn't read). :)
ReplyDeleteHave a happy New Year! Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings and I hope you join in again in 2013!
I don't think a native speaker has many problems reading it because if you read aloud you can figure out, but since I'm Spanish, sometimes it's hard, but it's worthy. This book is HILARIOUS :D
DeleteHave a happy new year too! :)
Heee that sounds like a fun book! I've heard a lot about this one. I hope you enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteYes, this book is hilarious. I highly recommend you. At first, I liked it, but I didn't love it :_( But now I can't stop reading it :)
ReplyDeleteCertainly unusual! Glad to see you are enjoying it.
