The messages above me. But, in all seriousness, I just finished one of the Sweet Vally books. I'm getting #2 whenever I go to school.

malsetsfire- Local Girls is a really really good book! You should definetly read it some day. I think I mentioned it on one of these pages. Anway, I finished Spindles End. It was pretty good, and had sort of a sad ending that made me cry. But then again I've been crying a lot lately. It really drags on though. Truthfully, I couldn't wait to finish. Now I only need five more AR points.

Courage and Confidence- An Anthology by Norman Vincent Peale. It's better than it sounds- it's like Chicken Soup, except the extracts and stories are by famous authors, poets, diplomats and philosophers rather than by articles submitted by... the common man. Couldn't come up with a better word

I've been really getting into Stephen King lately. He's an awesome writer. I'm reading the Talisman right now, then after I finish that I'll go to the sequel, The Blck House or something like that. So far It's really good.

right now i'm reading Catch-22 by Joseph Heller for AP eng... and it's awesome. it's such a crazy book. you have to make sure you read it very closely, or it might make too much sense. it's really long, and my teacher thinks we're gonna finish it over memorial day weekend... ha. ha. ha.
we just finished the glass menagerie by tenessee williams... i really liked that book too. it was just... very interesting. something very different and fragile about it. it was fun to read out loud in class too when everyone was getting into it.

I'm going to start reading The Invisible Man for English soon...600 something pages, supposed to be finished by next week some time. Yay for AP English.
The week before last I read the Great Gatsby (Three days, go me.)...it wasn't too bad, but some of the characters were awfully irritating.

Today I started reading "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippa Gregory. I'm only 60 some pages into it (about 600 left) and so far I'm enjoying it.

I'm currently re-reading Sabriel by Garth Nix, one of my favorite books in the world. I haven't read it in three years and I just recently finished reading the entire Old Kingdom trilogy, so I figured I might as well start it again while the story was fresh in my mind. I just had to have more . After receiving a cryptic message from her father, Abhorsen, a necromancer trapped in Death, 18-year-old Sabriel sets off into the Old Kingdom. Fraught with peril and deadly trickery, her journey takes her to a world filled with parasitical spirits, Mordicants, and Shadow Hands. Unlike other necromancers, who raise the dead, Abhorsen lays the disturbed dead back to rest. This obliges him--and now Sabriel, who has taken on her father's title and duties--to slip over the border into the icy river of Death, sometimes battling the evil forces that lurk there, waiting for an opportunity to escape into the realm of the living. Desperate to find her father, and grimly determined to help save the Old Kingdom from destruction by the horrible forces of the evil undead, Sabriel endures almost impossible exhaustion, violent confrontations, and terrifying challenges to her supernatural abilities--and her destiny.
Garth Nix delves deep into the mystical underworld of necromancy, magic, and the monstrous undead. This tale is not for the faint of heart; imbedded in the classic good-versus-evil story line are subplots of grisly ghouls hungry for human life to perpetuate their stay in the world of the living, and dark, devastating secrets of betrayal and loss. Just try to put this book down.
