This week has been a very busy week for me. Why? Prom Preparation.
Maybe you really don't care about things like school dances, but for me
they are a fun way to bond, either with friends or a date. I mean who
doesn't want to feel beautiful and happy and get a picture that looks
like this:
(This is so not me! I wish it were though!)
Prom
is about having fun and being yourself!! Besides, it's even fun
getting ready for prom, finding the dress, getting your
hair/nails/makeup done, basically just spoiling yourself. It's a day
where you can feel good about primping! While prom is amazing fun I,
personally, like reading even better. So I thought to myself,
"Wouldn't it be fun to read books involving prom, or school dances in general?"
For
once me and my mind agreed on something so I went about listing all the
books I knew that had a prom or school dance theme or undertone... I
came back pretty empty handed. I would be very interested in any books
that have a prom or dance theme in them, especially if they are fantasy,
paranormal, or supernatural fiction. But really any genre would be fun
to read about!! :)
Do YOU know any good books that incorporate school dances?
I don't know of any...but a while back, I was writing a book that incorporated a school dance! I think it would probably be like Homecoming, more than Prom! Haha!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool :) Did anything fun happen at the dance?
DeleteYour prom is really late. Ours was a whole month ago. You got a hott date? :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's 'cause were special :)
Deletethere's an 2012 YA debut about prom
ReplyDeleteCool! Thank! :)
DeleteHere's a listopia list from Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2163.YA_Prom_Books. I've also read Enthusiasm by Polly Shulman - it wasn't a favorite, but you might like it. I hope you have a fun prom! I think it's fun to get all dressed up and you don't do that very much after high school. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tressa!! :) Prom was definitely fun!!
DeleteI DO know one, I recently read and reviewed it 9it was great, btw, "Ditched" by Robin Mellom. It's one of those "takes place in a 24 hr. period) book and I laughed my tail off as I was reading:) Here's a link to my review:)

Yikes! I must not be awake yet, please excuse all the typo's above!
DeleteI always admire how an author can pull a whole book out of what is supposed to be a full day! I did have a good time :)
DeleteProm and Prejudice by Elizabeth Eulberg was great,
