TBR Tuesday: Size 12 and Ready to Rock


TBR Tuesday: Showcasing all the books that are currently staring at you from your "Why aren't you reading me?" pile....


On my TBR
Size 12 and Ready to Rock by Meg Cabot
304 pages
Expected publication: July 10th 2012 by William Morrow Paperbacks
Summer break . . . and the livin' ain't easy

Just because the students at New York College have flown the coop doesn't mean assistant residence hall director Heather Wells can relax. Fischer Hall is busier than ever, filled with squealing thirteen- and fourteen-year-old girls attending the first ever Tania Trace Teen Rock Camp, hosted by pop sensation Tania Trace herself--who just happens to be newly married to Heather's ex-boyfriend, heartthrob Jordan Cartwright. But the real headache begins when the producer of a reality TV show starring Tania winds up dead . . . and it's clear that the star was the intended victim.

Grant Cartwright, head of Cartwright Records, wants to keep his daughter-in-law (and his highest-earning performer) alive. So he hires his oldest son, black sheep of the family and private investigator Cooper Cartwright--who just happens to be Heather's "new" fiancE. Heather should leave the detecting to Cooper. But with a dorm full of hysterical mini-divas-in-training, she can't help but get involved. And after Tania shares a really shocking secret with her, "this" reality suddenly becomes more dangerously real than anyone ever anticipated.

This is a little different from my normal TBR Tuesday. I just got this book randomly in the mail (surprise!), but I haven't read the rest of the series. I'm pretty sure I own a copy of book 1, Size 12 is Not Fat, so when I saw this, I was like, Cool, book two! 

Um, no...This is book 4. So I've been asking everyone who reads and loves Meg Cabot (I know there are many of you), if you've read this series - is it one I can jump into? The synopsis is really cute and sounds like a lot of fun, so I'd like to be able to just pick it up and go without having to go back and track down the three books prior. So, what are your thoughts on this, my bookishly awesome friends? Can I solve some mysteries with size-12 Heather whenever I should choose, or is this something that needs to be read chronologically?

Also, what's lurking in your TBR mountain this week?
