Received in the mail from Long Beach, California, USA. Sort of a Scottish Angus, Thongs & Full-Frontal Snogging--with knitting! There are five books in the series so far (The Year My Life Went Down the Loo, They Wear What Under Their Kilts?, What's French For "Ew!"?, The Taming of the Dru, and Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Hotties), and more are planned. Read more at KatieMaxwell.com.

From Booklist
What do Scotsmen wear under their kilts? Hint: "It starts with N and ends with G and has OTHIN in the middle." Welcome back to the sidesplitting universe of Emily Williams, the 16-year-old American transplant to the UK who last amused readers in Maxwell's The Year My Life Went Down the Loo. This installment begins with yet another change of scene, as Em and her mousy classmate Holly move to a sheep farm in Scotland to fulfill a month-long work-study requirement. The land of haggis and men in skirts provide rich fodder for Emily's e-mails to distant friends, in which she recounts hilarious misadventures on and off the farm, including her contest with Holly to be the first to snog a farmhand whom they dub a "Schottie" (Scottish hottie). Em is clearly meant to be a caricature, and she's a very funny one. Readers will enjoy watching her blunder about in her cloud of hairspray, perfume, and blithe self-absorption. A larky addition that won't disappoint teens hooked by the first book.

Received in the mail today from a PBS member. Looking forward to reading it. :)

Yup, still very much liking these books. Emily just gets herself in super funny situations. I laughed so hard during the whole spray painting sheep bit. And the two-headed hedgehog? Oh my Crod! Of course she's completely blind that Fang is the right guy for her, but there are still several books left (and supposedly new ones will come out) so I have hope that she'll figure it out eventually.

on its way to shaunie who picked this up in the series swap
