L8r G8r

Hey!
The latest book that I've finished reading is called L8r G8r. It's by Lauren Myracle.
It's the 3rd book in a series. The first book is TTYL and the 2nd is TTFN. For anyone who doesn't already know - TTYL=Talk To You Later, TTFN=Ta Ta For Now, and L8r g8r=Later gater.
A lot of you have probably seen the first 2 covers around - Book #1 is pink, Book #2 is Green, and they have computer smiley/unsmiley faces on them. I'm attaching the 3rd book's cover to show you generally what they look like.
They are good books. They are all written in I.M., and to make it easier to read, one of the main characters text is in blue!
As I said before, it's the 3rd book, and you might be a little lost if you don't read the first 2 books before this one.
I don't recomend that any guys read this, but girls would probably really enjoy it.
Have fun - I hope everyone is reading lots!!

More Of What I'm Reading.........Will It Ever End?

Hello!!
I've still been reading a lot lately. I read a lot of books while I was in Hawaii. I know that probably surprises you, but I did. I brought 10 books, and bought 2 more while I was there, and I read the 2 that I bought, and I read 4-6 more of the ones that I brought.
I don't remember all of the names of the books that I read............

On to what I've been reading now!!
I just finished a book called Sharing Sam - It was good, but kind of weird. It was about a girl and a guy (Allison and Sam.) Allison and Sam fell in Love, but once Allison learns that her best friend Isabelle has a crush on him and that Isabelle has brain cancer, she asks Sam to date her so that she can be happy before she dies. It was ok, but not the greatest book in the world.

I just had a thought. If people wanted to leave me a comment suggesting books to read, that would be fine by me. I like having suggestions of books to read. I might not get around to reading the books right away, but if I'm interested at all, then I'll probably read them sometime. I'll probably check the book out at the library and then I would read it.

I'll talk more later!!!

My Reading Habits . . And Other Stuff

Hello Everyone!!!
Here's what I've been reading lately!!
Most recently I've been reading books by Lauren Brooke. I just finished Chestnut Hill #6, All or Nothing, and now I am rereading her first series called Heartland. Both series are about horses and are a little bit too easy for me. I don't care though!! ; ) At the moment I am on #6 of my rereading adventures. That means that I still have 15 to go!!
Before that I read a book called Spirited By Nancy Holder. It is a take on Beauty and the Beast, and it's really good.
Before that I read Chill Factor by Rachel Caine, Steal the Dragon by Patricia Briggs, Snowfall by K.M.Peyton and Bella at Midnight by Diane Stanley. They were all good, but after reading Chill Factor I decided that I didn't want to read the rest of the series. It was a good book, but the books were becoming less and less interesting and more . . .just. . . .stuff to fill the pages almost. I don't know how to fully explain it.

At the moment, here are the books that I have checked out from the library.
Mistletoe - Which is a book of 4 short stories by Hailey Abbott, Melissa de la Cruz, Aimee Friedman, and Nina Malkin
The Sacrifice - By Kathleen Benner Duble
Companions of the Night - By Vivian Vande Velde
Wolfblade - Jennifer Fallon
Miracle on 49th Street - By Mike Lupica
Cathy's Book If found call (650) 266-8233 - By . . I don't think it says . . let me double check . . It's by - Stewart/Weisman/Brigg

I haven't read any of the library books yet, but I am planning to read them after I finish rereading the entire Heartland series.

I am attaching some pictures of book covers to this blog entry. The one where you can't see the person's head is called Spirited by Nancy Holder and the other one is a cover of one of the Heartland books.
ENJOY!!!!!!!

Books I have read recently . .

Hello -
So, here are the books that I have read recently and bought and so on.

I have taken a rest on the book A Circle of Friends because I just got a lot of books from the library and they have a due date and I own A Circle of Friends.
The only book that I have read from this batch of books so far is called Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David L. (Levigne? Something like that maybe as his last name.) I thought it would be really good because I liked the books Gingerbread and Shrimp that Rachel Cohn wrote, but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. It had a lot of cussing in it, which just made the book seem like either cussing was a normal way of talking or that the characters were constantly angry, but not angry, at the same time. It was weird.

The other books that I got from the library were -
Bella at Midnight By Diane Stanley
Snowfall By K.M. Peyton
Seventeenth Summer By Maureen Daly (Was a written a long time before I thought it was written. I thought is was written pretty recently, but inside it has a copyright of 1966 or something like that. Look it up on the internet if you are interested.)
Steal the Dragon By Patricia Briggs
Chill Factor By Rachel Caine
AND
Windfall By Rachel Caine

So as you can see, I need to wait on Circle of Friends so that these books don'tbeome overdue.

I got a book at Barnes and Nobles today and it's called -
All of Nothing By Lauren Brooke.
It is number 6 in the Chestnut Hill series. It is not a young adult book, and is in fact a younger reader/kid book, but I love the Heartland series by Lauren Brooke and I just can't seem to stop reading her books, even though they are too easy for me. That's probably a bad thing, but whatever.

I hope everyone is reading good books that interest them!!!

The Books I Got For Christmas

Hello -
Happy Holidays!!!
Here are the books that I got for Christmas -
The Book Thief By Markus Zusak
Sunshine By Robin McKinley
Boys Over Flowers 20 (Anime/Manga)
Circle of Friends By Maeve Binchey
Red River 15 (Anime/Manga)
Fruits Basket 15 (Anime/Manga)

I have read all of them except for Fruits Basket 15 and Circle of Friends. I am near page 20 in Circle of Friends, but I haven't started Fruits Basket 15 yet.

The Book Theif is a very interesting book. It takes place in Germany during World War II, and the narator is Death. Just by that, you must have some thoughts about what it contains.

Sunshine is a vampire story. Interesting, and unlike some other stories I've read about vampires.

Boys Over Flowers 20 is the 20th book in an anime series. I'm not going to tell you anything about it except . . READ #1!

Red River 15 is the 15th book in an anime series, so you have to read #1 before I tell you anything about it! Same as Boys Over Flowers 20! They are both good books though.

I hope everyone got good books for Christmas or whatever other holiday they celebrate so that they can spend their time reading instead of rotting their mind . . .with . . . something! :)

Have a great new year!!!

Good Authors

Hi!!! -
So, instead of my idea of written stuff, and then a picture, and then more written stuff I might just post whatever I want!! I think with today's post I am going to post a list of good authors, and MAYBE a picture, or two. (Only if you're lucky though.) I still have homework to do - SUCKY!

Good Authors -
-Isable Allende - I've only read 3 of her books, so I'm not the BEST judge of her, but I like the trilogy of her's that I've read.
-Joan Bauer - I've read quite a few of her books, and they are all very good. Well written, or at least, I think they are! : )
-Ann Brashares - Everyone's heard of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, haven't they?!?!
-Lauren Brooke - Horsey, Horsey, Horsey!!!! I LOVE HORSES!!! She writes horse books, if you haven't already realized that!
-Meg Cabot - Princess Diaries of course!!!! She has also written other good books.
-Kate Constable - I've read the only 3 books that she's written, and they are very interesting.
-Anne McCaffrey - Dragonriders of Pern series!! And they are nice dragons!!!
-Lurlene McDaniel - Cheesy romance/illness type books. In every book someone is either sick or mentally hurt.
-Tamora Pierce - I've read every book that she has written, and they are all good. Woman are strong figures in her stories.

Just because these are the only authors that I mentioned, it doesn't mean that there aren't other good authors that I haven't mentioned. I think mostly I just mentioned authors that I have read a considerable amount of their books.
FINE - since I'm still sitting here, I'll add some pictures. I'm posting picture of books/authors that I didn't mention earlier.

Hope Your Life Isn't Too Stressful!!
