Well, I'm excluding January because I can't remember what I read.
I'm quite a bit late, and I'm a new user, so please excuse me ignorance.
I hope I'm doing this right...D: Also, does anyone know how to make text bold/underlined, etc.? I'd really appreciate an answer to this!

February

1. Kissed by an Angel - Elizabeth Chandler
Was an alright book.

2. Castle in the Sky - Dianna Wynne Jones
Sequel to Howl's Moving Castle (a book and movie I love). I simply love her style of writing, and I was very pleased with this. I'm downloading the movie as I type.

3. House of Many Ways - Dianna Wynne Jones
The book the comes after Castle in the Sky. Again, great book! Love her style!

4. Burned - Ellen Hopkins
Alright book. Felt rushed at the end, though.

5. Life of Pi - Yann Martel
AMAZING AMAZING book! The end was shocking, completely turned the book upside down.

March

6. Rant - Chuck Palahnuk
Real page turner! The style it's written in was very different, but very interesting to read...
Interesting concepts, great characters.

7. Wicked - Gregory Maguire
I was very satisfied with this book. I had planned on reading it for awhile now, and I'm glad that my expectations weren't shot down. I really liked how the witch's character was developed.

8. Identical - Ellen Hopkins
Another good book by her, probably my favorite out of the three I read. The ending was a surprise, I liked it. :

April

9. Boy Meets Boy - David Levithan
A very short, good book. : I enjoyed it very much, loved how it focused on a homosexual relationship rather than hetero. Great for light reading!

10. The Devil Wears Prada - Lauren Weisberger
It didn't meet my expectations at all, to put it plainly.
Perhaps because I was reading Angels and Demons at the same time...

11. Go Ask Alice - Anonymous
Pretty good book. Interesting that it was a true diary.

12. Angels and Demons -Dan Brown
AMAZING book! I can't wait to read the rest of his books, and I can't wait for the movie.

May

13. Inkdeath - Cornelia Funke
Pretty good wrap up to the trilogy. : I was overly happy about Dustfinger.

14. Catch Me If You Can - Frank W. Abagnale
Ahh, a great book to go with a great movie. I was not let down. :)

June

15. Glass - Ellen Hopkins
Another interesting book by her. I find it kind of cool how I enjoy reading them when I can't really relate to it as closely as many teenagers my age.

Welcome! You're doing just fine!

To make text bold, use " put text here ".
To make italics, use " put text here ".

Except take out the spaces in the brackets (needed to make the html code show up).

Hm. I tried that, I thought. D: Ah well, -tires again-.
Thank you, by the way!

why do you think kissed by an angel was onlyt an okay book JC.

Mar 27, 2009, 8:46pm (top)Message 5: lyssaur

I felt like it was dragged out too far.
For me, the main character wasn't in my tastes.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't, actually, or at least it's questionable if it was or not.

According to snopes.com (my go-to for stuff like this), it is a fictional "cautionary" story. I shelved it in fiction at my high school library.

AMAZING book! I can't wait to read the rest of his books, and I can't wait for the movie. (It comes out on the 15th, by the way!)

Yeah, that's what I heard. Ehh, doesn't matter all too much to me. It was only labeled as such to scare and relate to teenagers on a more personal level. :P
