I've read Before I Die. It was really good. But it's really weird.. and sad. How far are you? Or have you finished it?

Yesterday I read 'Somebody' by Nancy Springer cover to cover (literally) I didn't put it down except for to answer my PMs. I'm also almost done with 'Snatched' by Pete Hautman and Mary Logue, I've read Pete's other book 'Mr. Was' because one of my friends told me it was really good, which it was. When I finish Snatched I'm going to read 'Invisible' also by Pete Hautman.

Edit: I just finished Snatched. Starting Invisible. <3


I've got about 90 pages left, so I may be able to finish it tonight. Bits of it have been sad, but I've found that I've not warmed to Tessa enough to feel too sorry for her. She keeps being horrible to people when they're trying to be nice, and I don't feel that Downham has written the characters in enough depth for me to FULLY sympathise, although I have shed a few tears already!!!

That's really cool! I wish I had the time to read a book all in one day at the moment! I suppose I will be able to do that pretty soon. My exams finish in two weeks so I'll be okay to read properly then 3nodding

What would you recommend I read most out of all the ones you've read in that little list of yours??


Well, out of Somebody, Snatched, Mr. Was and Invisible it would really depend on what you want.

Somebody is about a girl that lives with her father and brother and they move around a lot and have to dye their hair and change their names and she ends up trying to find her past.

Mr. Was is about a boy who finds a door that takes you 50 years into the past in his dead grandfather's house and he has ALL KINDS of adventures there.

Invisible is about a boy who has this mental disorder like thing.. only he's really smart he just imagines/sees things that aren't real or are altered. It's really good just hard to describe without giving anything away..

Snatched was kind of juvenile. About a kidnapping mystery in highschool but the charecters are kind of hard to believe. Not the best book..

But since then I've finished Rash and started Hole in the Sky. Rash is about a boy who is accused of spreading a rash throughout his high school and he ends up going to jail and he's working on this McDonald's plant and the person in charge has them doing all these illegal things.

It's your choice. Which sounds most interesting?


I think 'Somebody' sounds like the most interesting one!! I may have to look into getting that one ordered! smile Sounds like my kind of read.

I've nearly finished 'Before I die' now. I didn't really like it TOO much to begin with, and I didn't think that the characters were in enough depth for me to feel any kind of strong emotions towards the character, but I shed a few tears for it at last. So I think perhaps the ending might be a little more satisfying than I first thought. 3nodding


Yes. Somebody is very good. Lots of secrets<3

That's good.. wouldn't want it to be a waste of time.
I'm reading...
- I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You by Ally Carter
- The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo

And I'm about to read...
- Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter
- The Juliet Club by Suzanne Harper

What have been your favourite books then? Like favourites ever?


What other ones do you have?

I don't really have favorite books per say. I read way too many... Some of them though I remember without looking up like Princess Nevermore, How to be Bad, Cam's Quest uh.. 13 reasons why , hanging onto Max, Evolution, me & other freaks of nature.. A LOT of romance.. and Pete Hautman. What about you?
The Poisonwood Bible. I just have to shake my head in disbelief and outrage every time Reverend Price goes on one of his "God is the best thing ever" rants. It ticks me off so badly, but it's a good book nevertheless.


I'm currently reading Flower For Algernon because we read an excerpt of it during our English class...and I saw it at a used book sale - and grabbed it because I wanted to see what the whole story was like.
What do you think about it so far? Wow. It's very sexual, that's what I have to say. But mildly interesting, not including the sexualness.
Have you read anything else by the same author? Nope.

I'm currently reading Merrick by Anne Rice.
I haven't gotten very far into it yet, since I was busy studying for finals, but I actually really like it so far. I've read a couple other books by Anne Rice, including all of The Vampire Chronicles series that came before Merrick. I love her writing style and can't wait to find out what happens in the rest of the series.

Running with Scissors
by: Augusten Burroughs
for like the 10th time!!!!!
Favorite book of all time!!!!!!!
heart heart heart heart
"Night's Master" by Amanda Ashley~ I would be reading "Dance with the Devil" by Sherrilyn Kenyon, but the damn book hasn't come in the mail yet >.<
Im reading TWILIGHT!!!!!!! 4laugh
The Summer Country
by James Hetley

It's a really good Romance/Fantasy Novel, though yes I'm rating it "R" since it does contain a lot of adult content.
im reading Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr. Its ok so far, the charters kind of bug me 'cause thire so self surving.
I'm reading Inkheart and I'm only about 150 pages in, the book is good it hasn't gone to my great list though.

I have a book by Marian Keyes (an Irish author.. if you didn't know) to take away with me on holiday. I also have To Kill a Mockingbird that I just haven't had time to read yet, The Time Traveller's wife, and Across the Nightingale floor by Lian Hearns.
