I do however hope you enjoy it.





Oh man, Hitchiker's Guide is so hilarious specifically because of the British humor!

Hahaha! I am totally of the same opinion Brittany, but I wasn't going to say anything. I read the whole series and while parts of it really were very funny, for the most part I was bored out of my mind. I felt like I had wasted my life after finishing the series, but my boyfriend at the time had raved on and on about them so I felt obligated to finish. Oh well.


Such a wonderful surprise to come home to after work.










I wasn't able to read Flipped the book but I did watch the movie. It was cute and sweet, there was a scene there at the end that made me go "awwww" (haha...).

I wasn't ..."
The ending was so much better in the movie!

I think I'm going to give them another try sometime. I bought 5 books in one I think, but like I said, I was in high school and just didn't get it. I have a much greater appreciation for British humor now that I'm older and have actually spent time there.
And I also might happen to be a British television addict. Dawn French is probably the funniest person on the planet.

I just checked out The Sorceress: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flame by Michael Scott. The first two, The Alchemist and The Magician, were great. Hopefully I am pleased with the rest of the series.













The first one was amazing so I wanted to keep reading them. I am li..."
I LOVE ALL of Ellen Hopkin's books. They were all so fantastic! She is coming out this year with book 2 that follows Impulse called Perfect and she is also starting adult books with a book called I thnk Triangles! Can't wait! I loved Crank, Glass and Tricks the best. And she also has a book out that talks about Crank and Glass and her daughter in real life and her son. They all give their thoughts etc..since these books are based on a true story. Just so sad but also fascinating. (For when you finish Crank, Glass and Fallout)













The first one was amazing so..."
Thank you for the recommendation. I finished Glass on audio a couple of minutes ago. :) I will have to get Fallout soon. I have such a huge TBR!


















I had a hard time getting into it too, it took until about chapter 5 or 6 until I couldn't put it down.






Timescape and The Dead-Tossed Waves should be here any day and I picked up Hush, Hush and Let Me In at Walmart

Right now I'm listening to

I'm excited for Stolen: A letter to my captor and Looking for Alibrandi. The later is written by one of my new favorite authors Melina Marchetta. This will be the 4th book of hers I've read this year :).

Branded by Keary Taylor
The Fire Stone by Riley Carney
Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep

I have Perfect Chemistry and Rules of Attraction on my Kindle, for whenever I get around to it.
I'm avoiding buying books for a while. Im up to over 60 books that I've already bought but haven't read. I need to bring that number down.


I can't wait to read Demonglass! I loved Hex Hall :).



I can't wait to read Demonglass! I loved Hex Hall :)."
I second that! I thoroughly enjoyed Hex Hall and am just itching to get my hands on Demonglass.

Must read Perfect Chemistry, it's a can-not-put-down-melt-your-heart book!
