When the Gossip Girl books first started coming out, I loved them! They were a quick trashy read, perfect for a summer day. But now that the 9th book is out, the characters and the stories are getting a little old. How long is von Ziegesar planning on post-poning time before the characters start college? The story lines a becoming more and more ridiculous (buying the wedding dress?? uh....) and even the characters who I once loved are now as dull as the plot (I can't stand Serena anymore!) All good things must come to an end- and that means you Gossip Girl!!!
