KellI Preston | 156 comments I am updating post 136. I am now 10/10.

I just finished reading NOS4A2. Loved it. I am in the middle of Looking For Alaska by John Greene. My first of his novels, one of my daughters books. I have avoided his books so far because a kid always dies in his novels, why does a kid always have to die in his books??? It is very good.
