I like books. =3 I've recently read a book called Reckess about this guy who saves his brother from turning into a monster-thingy. The words are too big. >:3 I'm also reading Diary of a would-be princess WHICH IS NOT ABOUT PRINCESSES.

I just finished reading City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare and I'm now reading Clockwork Angel which is written by her as well. I went and bought two new books a few days ago, the first is First Kill by Heather Brewer. I loved The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, so I'm hoping to say the same about The Slayer Chronicles. The second book is Goliath. It's the last book in Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan trilogy.
Also, I was reading Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck, but I left it open in the sun, so some of the glue melted and page started falling out. When I tried to fix it, I messed it up worse than before, so now it's unreadable and I have to by a new copy.
I LOVE books. xD

Books are my life.
I recently read Ten Little Niggers (aka And Then There Were None) by Agatha Christie and I loved it. I also read Le Passager by Patrick Sénécal, Zadig ou la Destinée by Voltaire ANDDD Jacques le Fataliste by Denis Diderot.
They were all incredibly fabulous, you should read them someday.

I really should get back into reading actual BOOKS. All I've been reading are fanfics for the past 2 years.

OMFG AQUA. THAT BOOK. WILD MAGIC. OMFG. I BOUGHT THAT. AT THE BOOK FAIR. IN PRIMARY SIX. Is it good? xD I only ever got half way through it, because I lost it. Who knows, maybe I'll find it again.
I recently finished Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which was absolutely beautiful. I also read the Tales of Beedle the Bard, which I also loved - seriously, brilliant. Both by the Queen J.K. Rowling, of course. I finished re-reading Hush, Hush again - tbh, it was better the first time, it's about a fallen angel and love and bleh. Once only. Better than Twilight, but Nora was a pest, she annoyed me - practically a re-creation of Bella Swan. I also read Between Shades of Gray, which is one of my favorite books ever. If you haven't already, go read it - it's so different, it's absolutely stunning. At the moment, I am re-reading Fearless (possibly one of my ultimate favorite books, if you haven't read it you really should), and I am reading Keeping Faith (by the same woman who wrote My Sister's Keeper btw). I started reading Inkheart again too, cause I lost it for a while and couldn't remember what happened in it.
Oh my god I'm a nerd.

Random Question! How many books do you guys own? Have you ever counted them? I've been meaning to count all of mine. I have about 50 chapter books and a ton of other random ones like comics or picture books. I gave a lot of book away to my younger siblings so I'm sure I've got tons more.

I just counted them. I have 146. 188 if you count the fact that I have the complete DB(Z) manga series. xD Then, I have The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, and Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales.

I recently gave away a lot to the book store down the road, i probably only have about 14 left, to make room for new reading material. I do have mangas but i don't really class them as reading because most of its pictures.

LET ME LOVE YOU.Oh, the last I've read was the Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan. See how late I am. I'm going to read the whole series soon, and then read Divergent by Veronica Roth after, then Matched by Ally Condie and the sequel after that. @u@

Last thing I've read is the Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind, and I am currently reading Blood of the Fold, also by Terry Goodkind. They're part of a series. The only series I read. ;_;

Huh, we just finished reading Candide ou l'Optimisme in class. It's very...interesting. XD Anyway, I personally just finished (like literally a couple of hours ago) Battle Royale by some japanese person. XD Haha, his name's hard to remember and I'm too lazy to get up and look at the book. It's originally japanese but it was translated into English. It's practically exactly like The Hunger Games, except it came before it so that makes Suzanne Collins the copier. I definitely recommend it. :3
