This is not a library, you dont have to whisper xD
I know some of you read so...
Just list some favorite authors, stories, books, novellas, manga, or just writing styles you like!
Feel free to share some excerpts too, if you'd like
[Just be sure to tell us who wrote them~]
Not much else to say, bookworms!

Hey, nice : D!
I oughta read those. I need a good vampire tale to read for once x3
I grew up liking vampires...
Until that crazy lady made them shine in sunlight... [thats probably the BIGGEST thing that irked me. Other than that, it wasnt too bad..
Until you read the other three books xD!]
I mean, cause, you know
There are better vampire stories out there
I grew up reading Cirque du Freak, by Darren Shan. Pretty good for the first five books. Yay vampires!
They were alright, but the series dragged on a little towards the end and sometimes seemed to go nowhere
... and it was for middle schoolers anyway xD

Oh
Here's a really good series
That is, if you enjoy fantasy and time travel beeznaz:
Pendragon, by DJ MacHale
:'D Looooove ♥
Its my favoritest book series ever
Other than the Uglies series, by Scott Westerfield
and Neal Shusterman's books.
The Named series is great too. Oh. My. Gale. [I think theyre written by Marianne Curley. She's a genius.]

Romance:
Jacob by Jaquelyn Frank -- Demon and human love! ^_^
The Better to Hold You by I can't remeber -- Were-wolf love
The Howling series by Oh Lena's Gale, I can't remember...But an older and very popular series. Hard to find these days.
General:
The Host by Stephanie Meyer -- Waaaaaay better than the Twilight series.
Tomorrow When the War Began and the other books in the series -- By John Marsen. Set in Australia and tought me some cool stuff about Aussies! Loved the series!
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher -- A really sad story about a girl who commited suicide and sent out tapes revealing to the thirteen people who caused her to do it and why....Great book.
Devine Comedy by Dante -- Really really thick...Usually perscribed to college students, but I read Inferno for fun...*faint*
The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson -- A really amazing and historically accurate fiction...I can't even explain it. It's mainly about love, but about the virutes of it...Read about it, it's good. It lead me to want to read Inferno!
Manga:
Hellsing I was really into that for a while. But then stopped looking for them.
I've read plenty of other mangas, I just can't seem to remember their names. lol. Shame on me... -.-
There's tons of others, but there's a general overview from the most recent books I've read.
I also really enjoy vampire books, but for some reason I can't think of any I've read recently.
I like a lot of stuff....^_^

What are you plotting, Lena?! Don't kill yourself!
Ahh! Beware! I suggest you have some sparknotes or something to go with it...I went head first and it took me forever, and I think the only reason I go most of it was because there were pictures to help.... crying

Books: Harry Potter, Inheritance Trilogy (Eragon), Maximum Ride
Manga: Kingdom Hearts and Megatokyo (I heart MT)
And for the record, I absolutely hate Twilight with the flaming passion of a thousand suns.

Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind. (Also known as the Sword of Truth series.) There are many more books after this so if you start and like it, it will take you a long time to finish. But it was an amazing series. Legend of the Seeker was SUPPOSED TO BE based off of it, but, that show is nothing like the books. Watching the first episode, i had a full page of things written down that were wrong. *Stabs the television series*

Sadly, I know it through the show [which Ive never really watched], but my friends also read it!

I love it when that happens ;~;
At least it gives you something to do right?
Anyway, I think I might pick it up now :3
