RAE!! I'm about to read Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side as soon as I finish my stupid research paper... we'll probably be reading it @ the same time, like with THE RED NECKLACE :DDD


message 166: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments I just finished Jessica's Guide yesterday. It was one of the best romance books that I've read. :) The transition for Jess falling in love with *the unnamed character* was SOOOO believable. Most of the time the female lead falls in love with the guy b/c he's *hot*, but honestly, Beth Fantaskeyknows how to write a believable romance situation. hahaa. You're really going to like it, Amelia.


message 167: by Miss Amelia (new)

Miss Amelia (missameliatxva) DROOOOOOOOOOOOOLS!
thanks, Rae :DD

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments :) yeah, you're welcome. hahaa

Enna Burning is really good. You read Goose Girl, yes?


message 174: by Lindsey (new)

Lindsey | 505 comments Yes yes! Also Princess Acadamy, but I know they arn't connected. Both very good, I'm excited to read Enna Burning!


message 175: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (flyinglogicmonkey) | 2426 comments Oooh, I liked Princess Academy too. Enna Burning wasn't my favorite of the four, but it's still good.


message 176: by Lindsey (new)

Lindsey | 505 comments Princess Acadamy ws the first of hers that I read. I am fully expecting to enjoy Enna. Oh, I've got to finish rereading Anne of the Island first though. I'm almost done and it's my favorite in the series, plus I havn't even gotten to the best part yet, so I have to finish :D

message 197: by Diana (new)

Diana I've probably read like 40 or more books this year. I keep losing count............


message 198: by Taliah (new)

Taliah Lagons | 194 comments I'm in the premiers reading challenge this year and last year as well, so I've been reading through the bit list. The challenge only counts from February to August so it's not a full year but it's close enough.

Last year, my target was to read more than anyone else in year 7 or 8 to win a $25 book voucher. I read 86 books- around 20 more than the person who came second!

This year I plan to read 100 books, so far I've read 53. I hope to win again- books are expensive!


message 199: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 4295 comments Mod
you can win vouchers!!!!

omg, COUNT. ME. IN!!!!!!!!


message 200: by Annie (new)

Annie (annieiscool13) | 562 comments I hope you win Taliah!!
