Confessions Of Georgia Nicolson
Wildly popular teenage literary series by Louise Rennison. The books are the diaries of the titular heroine, who is 13 at the beginning of the series and 15-16 in the last installments. So popular in the author's native Britain that the books were released in the USA with minor adjustments, and have now been adapted into a film released in 2008.

Noted for containing many "Georgia-isms" that have made their way into everyday language, such as "nunga-nungas" (breasts), "mervyfab" (anything Georgia likes) and "I'm away laughing on a fast camel" (goodbye). Reprints of the books now come with a glossary.

The books in the series are:

  • Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging
  • It's OK, I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers! (USA version: On The Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God)
  • Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas
  • Dancing In My Nuddy-Pants
  • ... And That's When It Came Off In My Hand (USA version: Away Laughing on a Fast Camel)
  • Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers
  • Startled By His Furry Shorts
  • Luuurve Is a Many-Trousered Thing
  • Stop in the Name of Pants!
  • Are These My Bazoomas I See Before Me?

All the books are about the everyday teenage life and problems of Georgia and her friends, known as the "Ace Gang". Major characters include:

  • Georgia Nicolson - the snarky and immature, but likeable, heroine
  • Jas - her best friend who talks too much and wears enormous underwear
  • "The Ace Gang" - consists of Georgia and Jas plus Rosie, Ellen, Jools and Mabs (joined by Honor and Sophie in the last book)
  • Robbie aka "Sex God" - Georgia's boyfriend in the early books
  • Tom - Robbie's brother, Jas's boyfriend
  • Masimo - Italian singer who replaces Robbie in Georgia's affections
  • Dave "The Laugh" - close friend and occasional "snogging partner" of Georgia
  • "Wet" Lindsay - Georgia's enemy and rival for the affections of Robbie and Masimo
  • "The Bummer Twins" - school bullies
  • Angus - Georgia's crazy cat
  • Libby - Georgia's very young sister, not yet toilet trained
  • "Mutti" and "Vati" - Georgia's uncool parents
