1) Total number of books owned: 65 that I can count and reall really old ones at my dads. But I don't really count them as mine even though I'm the only one that reads them. So 65 that I can find
2) Last book I bought: well the last book I bought was lovely bones by alice sebold. The last book that was bought for me was Missing Abby by Lee weatherly and the last book given to me was The 5 people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom.
3) Last book I read: Missing Abby
4) 5 books that mean a lot to me:
The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine. The frist book I ever owned my self.
Inkheart By cornelia Funke. A book I've read over and over again, since reading it I had decided that I wanted a huge libary in my house with a huge window where I could sit and read while the rain falls. it was also the first hard cover book I got after pleading for about 6 months.
Missing Abby By Lee weatherly. I don't like this book for its story. I like this book for its character. It gave me more understanding of something that happened in my life and now I don't feel so much hate for her.
The Lovely Bones By Alice Sebold. Was just a book that made you think for endless days even after you finished, It opened a whole new world into books for me as well.
The Raging Quiet By Sherryl Jordan. A beautiful construed story, where you can feel the same emotion she does as she fights with loss, love, pain and happiness.

1) Total number of books owned: HAHA. I've got a shelving system 12 feet long and 8 feet high double stacked and full (ok, there is are three shelves for movies, but there are books laying around with the movies so I'm counting it). Then of course there is the floor, the other three book cases in the living room...the kitchen counter, the kitchen table, my "writing room", my bedroom, MY CAR, the garage, and I bet I have books stuffed away in other places that I just can't remember. There are too many of them.
2) Last book I bought: FLCL 01 two days ago
3) Last book I read: Last book I finished? The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide last night AGAIN, book I'm finishing tonight? Even Cowgirls Get the Blues AGAIN
4) 5 [OF THE] books that mean a lot to me:
"The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams....Why? 42.
"The Plague" by Albert Camus...it was my first Camus book read I while I was very very ill in the hospital. heh heh.
"One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez...The way he wrote this book has always sent shivers down my spine. I dream to write an epic with the grace and beauty of his.
"Insomnia" by Stephen King....I love little bald men in white coats. Plus it was my first King book. I'm really nostalgic aren't I?
"The Satanic Bible"....Breath-stealing book, but the reason it means so much to me is the very first line and nothing else. Go read it and get back to me.
There are so so so many other books that mean a lot....but I was a good girl today and limited it to five.
