...at LitDrift.
As their inclusion of Scout's ham costume opens up the sub-category of Halloween costumes worn by literary characters, I'll add another.
#11: Georgia Nicolson's disastrous olive costume:
Speaking of, did you know that Louise Rennison has started a new series? I didn't know that she'd started a new series! Or that it stars Georgia's young cousin! Or that it's set at a school for the dramatic arts, and the main character is EVEN MORE DRAMATIC than Georgia! Or that the first title is called Withering Tights:
Oh, that title!!

Oh, and also, I haven't had an excuse to dress up for Halloween in many years, but next time I do, I'm totally going as an olive. Not even a sexy olive. Just a Georgia-esque Olive. But without the horror of my father driving slowly behind me. Or shaving off my eyebrows.

Have read it (it's out in Australia), and it's nowhere near as funny as the GN books. Sad, but true. My 10 year old daughter, who is mad keen on Georgia, agrees.

Rats. Ah well, I'll read it anyway! (I felt that the GN books got progressively less entertaining -- or maybe just less fresh -- as they went on, so my hopes/standards aren't super high.)
