Oh, you'll like Mockingjay!
My next 3 reads are:Excalibur - Bernard Cornwell
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
The Last Witchfinder - James Morrow
I have more than 5 books sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. Unfortunately (for my wallet), I'm the type to buy books on a whim so I end up with a backlog pretty quickly. Of what I own the next five will probably be:Death by Black Hole - Neil DeGrasse Tyson (I'm already half-way through it)
If on a Winter's Night a Traveler - Italo Calvino
Invisibly Man - Ralph Ellison
Gravity's Rainbow - Thomas Pynchon
Disgrace - J.M. Coetzee
I'll probably cave somewhere between those five and purchase/read The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

3. The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen
4. This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen
5. To Kill a Mockingbird (For school)

Don't get me wrong, I do like to read the difficult ones, but in this case I read the first page and was hooked. Any book that mentions ectoplasm and Edgar Allen Poe in the first line is one I definitely need to read.

2. Jane Eyre
3. I am number 4
4. Sundays at Tiffany's
and
5. Monster High
^_^

i haven't watch a movie yet, some friend of mine said it's a good book, I actually got curious about it. What is it about? ^^
It's really cute! It's about a girl who when she is little has an imaginary friend who is her best friend and they do everything together. But in order for her to grow up, he has to leave her which breaks her heart. But then, as an adult, she sees him again, only this time he's not imaginary anymore. :) I don't know how closely the movie followed the book, but I thought the movie was adorable.
aww ='> .. now i'm excited! i think i'll read that first instead of following my chronological order. Thank u so much!!!
