Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood (Sisterhood of Traveling Pants)

by Ann Brashares
This is the first book that I have ever preordered for myself (actully Paul ordered it for me). I am anxiously awaiting its arrival. I had asked about a month ago at Books-a-Million and they said it would be out in September. But I guess they were wrong-- Amazon says it's not due until January. It is just nice to know that it is on its way. I will let you know what I think of it.

I do not, do not like pickled beets!

I am Arlene, Arlene I am. Arlene, Arlene do you like pickled beets? Who, me? No, I do not like pickled beets. Would you like them here or there? No! No! I would not like them anywhere! Would you, could you try them and see? I would not, could not try them! I do not like pickled beets. You may like them. You will see. Who, me? I would not, could not like them, will you let me be? Try them, try them, and you may. If you will let me be, I will try them and you will see...

I do like pickled beets, I do, I do! I would eat them here or there. I would eat them anywhere!

Thank you Anita and Matt I do, I do like pickled beets and I probably wouldn't have ever known if you guys weren't such great friends and surprised me with them for my birthday.
