Her tag sux. 34th Street, Brooklyn-bound F platform.
That’s my Ya-Ya name up there. As I was dashing through the Union Square Barnes & Noble Tuesday night to get to the bathroom (I will have you know that it is a skill to know where every free toilet in Manhattan is), my eyes caught a bright and cheerful hardcover. The escalator was taking me upstairs, but I knew what that purple cover with a little girl from the 50s meant - there was finally a new Ya-Ya Sisterhood book!
Once I was done with the action necessitated by two quickly-pounded beers, I went back downstairs and bought that book, broke as I was. There hasn’t been a new Ya-Ya book in 6 years, and dammit, I wasn’t waiting another minute for my reunion with some of my favorite characters in fiction.
I finished the book yesterday evening. I would have been done sooner, but I had to go to work. And I didn’t take a lunch break yesterday. Damn work, getting in the way of my reading!
The guys out there might not get so into the books (although even Rick admitted that the movie version of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood was good), but ladies, do yourselves a favor. Get Ya-Yas in Bloom, the latest book. And if you haven’t read Divine Secrets and Little Altars Everywhere, get those, too. I think you’ll love them as much as I do.
And if you’re bored at work, go get a Ya-Ya name of your own over at the games section of the Ya-Ya website. Knowing that I’m Marchioness Soars Like a Bird makes me feel better than I have all week!
