Author Appreciation Week: Robin Brande

Okay so you guys have already read my rant about how sweet Robin Brande is and stuff but when it comes down to it Im still really grateful that she did that :)

So for my first Author Appreciation post of the week Im talking about Robin Brande.

Again :)

So anyway....
Robin Brande is basically like all other authors out there.
So whats so special about her that I wanted to show her off this week?
Simple.

Let me just say this one thing.
HAVE YOU NOT READ HER BOOKS?!

Shes a science writer. Perfect for someone like me. And she brings up evolution, a favorite subject of mine.
(and shes totally sweet :D)
Anyway.
In my opinion (im ignoring TWILIGHT *aka book of evil* and focusing on OTHER books) she was the first to do the whole, fall in love with your science partner thing.
Which I totally love.

Thats basically what happens in EVOLUTION, ME, AND OTHER FREAKS OF NATURE
I also love how in that book she has the science teacher state, "Everyone on earth is a freak of nature."
Loved that.

Or in FAT CAT how most of the book is centered around hating her ex-friend soon to be boyfriend.
LOVED THAT!

Face it, shes funny *so are her books :)* shes sweet.
Shes Robin Brande.
Totally loved ranting for a wee little bit about her :)
And meeting her :)

I met Robin Brande and Oh My God she is so SWEET!

So today I went down to Tucson for their second annual book fair.
My incentive? Meeting Robin Brande. 
However, I being who I am screwed up the times. 
I seriously almost lost out on my chance to meet her!
But my mom being who she is *a totally awesome straight forward person :)* explained the situation to Robin and Robin said she would talk with me :)
Awesome right? 
And she signed my books for me and talked to me until we were kicked out.
She didnt have to do that. She was totally awesome.
I loved how sweet she was. My parents kept telling me over and over again the whole drive home, "That was a really sweet thing she did." I was like "I know." And I continued to smile.
She was also really funny.
It was just amazing.
I dont think a lot of other authors would have done that.
Granted a few would but other than that....
Really Robin is so sweet. I was so lucky that she let me sit down with her and talk with her.
I loved it.
Its officially one of the best moments of my life :)

Fat Cat by Robin Brande

Fat Cat By Robin Brande

Synopsis: You are what you eat. . . . Cat smart, sassy, and funny—but thin, she’s not. Until her class science project. That’s when she winds up doing an experiment—on herself. Before she knows it, Cat is living—and eating—like the hominids, our earliest human ancestors. True, no chips or TV is a bummer and no car is a pain, but healthful eating and walking everywheredohave their benefits. As the pounds drop off, the guys pile on. All this newfound male attention is enough to drive a girl crazy! If only she weren’t too busy hating Matt McKinney to notice. . . . This funny and thoughtful novel explores how girls feel about their bodies, and the ways they can best take care of their most precious resource: themselves.

This book was hilarious. Granted there were a few parts where I thought Cat was insane, but she proved me wrong. Once again another novel that takes a classic, overused plot line *in this case that was with how the romance worked out* and twists it into something completely unseen and extremely creative! You never expect what you find when reading this novel. Robin Brande was brilliant at taking her experience as an over weight teenager and turning it into well THIS! A amazing novel that anyone would love to get their hands on. I truly wasnt expecting what was delivered. Honestly. Cat lives only off of organicly grown foods, or food she makes. I honestly dont think i would be able to do that. But one person can. She drags practically everyone she knows into it, and soon enough shes got her little brother walking to school with her! She goes through some bad boyfriends and bad withdrawl symptoms but in the end.. Well read and find out.
