Beautiful Stranger by Zoey Dean
It's an A - List novel. I like these better than The Clique & Gossip Girl novels because her characters have more substance, and stuff going on other than thinking they are totally fabulous, and shopping. Unlike The Clique & [original] Gossip Girl.

I just finished House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones. It's the second sort-of sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, and it was so much fun! I liked it much better than Castle in the Air, the first sequel. I particularly loved Howl in this one. It's not quite as amazing Howl's Moving Castle; that's hard one to top. But I thoroughly enjoyed it and am a little sad now that I've finished it. I love Diana Wynne Jones' writing. It's got such a whimsical quality to it that makes her fun to read. Some books take themselves a bit too seriously, I think.

Memiors of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
This book, so far, is a very interesting novel. I am somewhat amazed at all the details of these geishas. And I hate Hatsumomo.

The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale for art, after just finishing up Watchmen by Sir Alan Moore. I love graphic novels.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I started at the Prince's Tale and going through the end. I've read two chapters and basically cried the whole time. Every time I stop crying, I start again.

I've never heard of those. I'll have to try them. LD I'm reading That Summer by Sarah Dessen. I'm only like 70 pages into it, but I love it already.

^ Aw I loved that book, especially the paragraph at the begening. The Private series is very good, better than those no plot, rich kids getting drunk & blowing money novels! Untouchable by Kate Brian

I just finished "The Sweet Far Thing" - By Libba Bray. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the two books in the series before it. I have horrid luck like that. Ah, well. I'm also in the middle of "Pride and Pejudice" (Jane Austin) and "Mere Christianity" (C.S. Lewis). And I'll start reading "Oliver Twist" soon. =]

^ You really should go back & read the other two! They are far better than the last one, because imo The Sweet Far Thing was rather dragged out.
Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard
Suggested to me by my cousin, I can't say much yet because I just began it.

Braving Home
It's one of my summer reading books and actually sounded interesting so I started it. It's about a writer guy who goes to places where people shouldn't be living but still do becasue they love their home. It's good so far..... I just finished the prologue. :3

I just finished The House On Mango Street. I thought it would be better, but it's just a girl talking about random things and there was no plot to it. Mostly all the chapter were less than two and a half pages long.
Now, I'm reading Gossip Girl the first book. So far, I like it.
