I'm currently reading Troubling A Star. So far it is very good, it's kind of confusing though(I'm still in the beginning) but from what I have already read I would definately recommend it to you guys ;D

I just finished "Rachels Tears" -stellar book guys. Read it if you get a chance. Now I'm flipping through Josh Harris', "Boy Meets Girl", which is also great. I've read it before which is why I'm just skipping around.

I'm reading 'Maya' by Jostein Gaarder (the author of 'Sophie's World). I like it so far, it's very philosophical (sp?) and confusing sometimes. But it really gets you thinking about things you usually don't think about...

I'm reading "Number The Stars." It's such a good book Sad sort of, in this odd way. It's about this 10-year-old girl and her family live in Copenhagen in the time during the Nazi Occupatioion and her best friend is Jewish and they have to hide her friend and her family or the Nazi's will kill them. It's a good book.... but I'm not telling the end... and, no, this is NOT a jewish hating book, lol. I'm half jew, but oh well, I'm christian. Well, I def reccomend it to everyone. Stephanye

I love that book! It's one of my favorites. I read it when I was in 5th grade,but it only took me one day to read it because it was so good ;D It is sad,I think. It keeps you on edge,as some ppl would say.

So far, I'm reading The Mothman Prophecies (been waiting forever to see that rereleased. Couldn't find it anywhere. Grr...), The Hobbit, adn I just got finished reading Things Fall Apart. TMP is really good if you're into the spooky stuff and like theories on it, so far TH is kind of a slow read for me, and TFA was a book I had to read for school, but it wasn't too bad.

Right now I'm reading Danielle Steel's House on Hope Street, and Sophie Kinsella's Shopoholic Takes Manahatten. STM is a sequel to Kinsella's first book, Confessions of a Shopoholic. The series is about a 30 something year old woman who doesn't make any responsible financial decisions, is obsessed with buying things, and gets herself into so much trouble. Both books are SO[/I][/u] laugh-out-loud good!!
Also, read anything by Anna Maxted. Another good author.

I'm reading the second book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Ohhh, it's so good. I was never really motivated to read the books until the movie came out...it just didn't appeal to me. But since I've seen it, I just want to know what happens!

^ I read the first one of those books, 'Anne of Green Gables'. It was pretty good... maybe I'll read the other books too.

The Dark Tower, by Sharon Stewart. It's about Marie Therese Charlotte de France, the daughter of King Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette. She spent her early childhood at the glittering palace of Versailles. But then came the Revolution, and she is imprisoned in a tower. One by one, her family are taken away. After three years confined inside a cramped cell, she is freed, but alone in the world. She marries her cousin, Antoine, and the book is somewhat a recount of a diary throughout her life. I'm reading it for school, but I think it's a great book, and has sparked my interest about French history and Marie Therese Charlotte de France.
