1. Salinger, J.D.: Franny and Zooey

Great book, I'm read the part of Franny, I love this character of the girl.
Now I'm at the middle of Zooey's part.

Hi, ficka!
Good luck with your reading challenge!

2. Cabot, Meg: Big Boned

This is the 3rd part of the story of Heather Wells. I like this books, 'cause it's "easy-to-read", exciting, light version of a crime story and Heather is always in love. Now her dream endly comes true, I liked Tad, but Cooper is more lovely and cooler!
Finally, not mention the murders, you can feel, that this all can happen to you also, and that's make the story more and more enjoyable.

3. Meyer, Stephenie : Midnight Sun

This is the Twilight-story of Edward's view. Unfortunately, we can read only the first 12 chapter, everybody knows why...
Who likes the saga, must read this story too! :)

5. Meyer, Stephenie : Twilight
I've read again, but not in my native language, Hungarian, in original publishment. So much better in the original.

6. Meyer, Stephenie : New Moon

In March I've bought the original, English version of New Moon, because the Hungarian version came out only in April. It was so sad, but great, Edward and Bella meant to be together, who cares about the werevolves???

7. Belle de Jour: Diary of an Unlikely Call Girl

I'm started this novel, but at the half of it, I stopped. It was too much for me, I am not a nun though...

8. Martin, Esteban : The Gaudi Key

Hmm, I have to compare with the Da Vinci Code, because I think Esteban Martin was copying Dan Brown...It was so fake, but I've finished because I was curious for the end. Many-many similar character and turn, I think it's not a very good novel.

9. Cabot, Meg : Queen of Babble in the big city

That was so funny and romantic!!! I think the second part of these serie is so much better than the first! In the first I don't like the main (!!!) character, Lizzie Nichols, she was annoying, but in New York, she is so much maturer and acting like a normal girl. Luke is sweet, but if I were the main character I'd like to be with Chaz, he is so cool and smart. Shari is ok, she was a big surprise.

10. Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion

This book is so beautiful, now I'm reading this book, but I'm before the final big, state examination, so I haven't got much time to read. :(

11. Cabot, Meg : Princess Diaries, Volume X: Forever Princess

This is my forever favourite serie, Mia Thermopolis is the best! After 1,5-2 years, they were so strange, but I don't want to spoilering, the end is perfect! :)

Good luck with your exam, ficka!

I've been meaning to read the Princess Diaries series but haven't gotten there yet because I'm so attached to the movie and I've heard that the books are quite different. I've only ever heard good things about the books, though, so one of these days...

12. Rowling : The Tales of Beedle the Bard

They were nice tales, my favourite was "The Fountain of Fair Fortune", but all of them great and interesting to read by a human.

13. Noel, Alyson: Evermore

This is the first part of The Immortals serie, I like this novel, Ever's story is sad, then comes Damen, OMG, this guy is freaking! I'm now at the 28th chapter, the story is getting more-more exciting.

Update: my final exam was great, now I have lot of time to read. :)

14. Fabricius Gábor: Puha Neon Fejlövés

This is a Hungarian book, the author isn't a really author, rather working at the part of PR and other stuffs like this. He wrote novels, short stories, and these are in the books about the society, media, culture, love, what are the important things to many people at the modern Hungary.

15. Hamilton, Laurell K. : Guilty Pleasures

I've finished the 1st part of the serie yesterday...What can I say? I know this novel was written when I was 6, but I just read it now, otherwise I always liked the books with vampires.

Anita Blake is so different hero from Roce's, Harris's and Meyer's heroes, at the beginning she was so weird to me, she is so different type of woman than me. But I figured out, that she is wonderful, clever, strong and so cool!!!

I think now I like Anita. OMG, and the other characters: ratmen, human servants, vampires, zombies, simple humans, they are so interesting.
Jean-Claude is very charming and amazing in my mind, Edward a little bit different but charming on another way and Nikolaos is brrr, the evil.

Hamilton created an interesting society, I'm really looking forward to the The Laughing Corpse! :)

16. Hamilton, Laurell K. : The Laughing Corpse

Anita Blake is so cool as in the Guilty Pleasures, the same style, what I heard will be change in the next books in wrong way...I don't know, I will know in the nearly future.
I missed a little bit the character of Edward, but I love Jean-Claude better and better. ;-)

Harold Gaynor is what a mess, a sick person, I've never heard anybody like him, he likes the physically handicapped women, OMG, Wanda is nice but Cicely!!! :(

Unfortunately I can't read the next, 3rd book now, but I'd like to, maybe I can at the end of August.

17. Gavalda, Anna : Ensemble, c'est tout

First I saw the movie with the fantastic Audrey Tautou and Guillaume Canet. I loved this movie, Franck, Camille and Philibert were so lovely.
So I started the book because the movie is based on a novel by Anna Gavalda.

The book is great, I'd borrowed from the library where I'm working, but I will buy, that's 100%. I haven't finished yet, but I'm reading like working bee! :)

18. Shakespeare, William : A Midsummer Night's Dream

In my country The Budapest Operetta and Musical Theatre (Hungary) made a worldmusical from this play 1 years ago.
I'd like to understand more the play, so now on the bus mostly I'm reading the Midsummer Night's Dream. :)
I like Shakespeare. :)

19. Háy János: Egymáshoz tartozók

He's the best. Háy János is a Hungarian writer, he writes short stories, poems, romans, plays, many many things, and also a painter.
At 10th, August he was at Pécs, he was a guest at a reading evening (I don't know better word), and I managed to dedicate with him his books. I took with myself three books written by Háy, because other two was too heavy and I came from Szekszárd. I like him and his writing very much. :)

20. Háy János: Házasságon innen és túl

Sometimes I read it again & again, this is my favourite book from him. Other things about Háy János in the Message 21! :)

21. Jane Austen: Persuasion

Actually I'm reading the last novel of Austen. I've seen the movie adaptation (with wonderful Sally Hawkings as Anne & Rupert Penry-Jonessome as Captain Wentworth) a few times on tv and on DVD. I love it. I feel sad about Anne, she is not married at age 27 in the early 19th century, that was in those times horrible!!! But then Frederick Wentworth came back and they found in each other the love, again. That's so beautiful!!!

22. Meyer, Stephenie : New Moon

Finally, I'm reading the New Moon in Hungarian and I think it's not so bad, like I thought it before. Sometimes the translator made a huge mistake, because Bella won't say those words in any time. Otherway the novel is exciting, I'm not mad about Bella's suffering, I understand her, any other teen girl would acting the same way.
Now I'm at the 15-16th chapter, I can't wait Edward coming back!!! ;D

23. Christie, Agatha : Ten Little Niggers

And there comes the moment when I can write down that I'm reading a crime book. I'm not doing it often, but I felt a few days ago that I have to read something from Agatha Christie, because she is The Crimewriter, with capitals. (+ of course I loved the tv-serie Harper's Island)

Now, where I am in the crime story are 7 people in the island, poor X, Y and Z is dead. I like it, that's enough.

24. Darvasi László : Hogyan csábítsuk el a könyvtáros kisasszonyt?

This was a short story about how to attract the librarian ladies in a funny tone. I loved every line because I'm a young librarian lady too and I'd like to meet a guy like in the story!!! :D

25. C. D. Payne : Youth In Revolt

I heard about the movie with Michael Cera, and I bacame curious because it looked like interesting and entertaining. I borrowed the book from the library (thank God it was translated to hungarian and some of the libraries bought it) and now, after the reading, I am sure that I will see it because I really enjoyed the novel. Nick Twisp is crazy and funny, I'm trying to get the sequels.

26. Charlaine Harris : Dead Until Dark

It was good, but not as good, as I expected. In my opinion the tv serie is better.

29. Gavalda, Anna : Je voudrais que quelqu'un m'attende quelque part

English title: I Wish Someone Were Waiting for Me Somewhere

I love the works of Anna Gavalda, these short stories are fantastic.

30. Meyer, Stephenie : Eclipse

I haven't started yet, maybe tomorrow.

31. Gavalda, Anna : Je l'aimais

English title: Someone I loved

I love the work of Gavalda, I'd like to read everything from her. This book was not on the top of "my have-to-read-books" list, but I saw on the bookshelve at the library, so I borrowed it. I like it very much!
