I'm currently reading three things. I'm reading My Sweet Audrina by V.C. Andrews. It's a really, really amazing novel. I've actually read it before but I love it and V.C. is one of my favorite Authors.
I'm reading the Immortal Beloved Series by Cate Tiernan. I've already read the Sweep and Balefire series she wrote but I haven't yet finished Immortal Beloved. It's great so far.
I'm also finishing The Prophecy of the Stones by Flavia Bujor. It's a weird book but I really like it. It has a really great plot line and I love the characters. Especially Jade. She's my favorite by far.

I always have a few books going at once. I'm about halfway through Beloved by Toni Morrison, which I'm reading for one of my classes. I actually really like it. And I'm also reading Boomsday by Christopher Buckley, which is very clever and funny.

Well, for me I am only thirteen but love reading, so here are so of my recent two recent favourites.

The hunger games
Eragon

But my all time fabourite is Cassandra clare, the mortal instruments which in my opinion is the best book ever.I have just finished reading her second series, the infernal devices

If you don't have a trophy case that spins into a secret room with a press of a button, then your an idiot.

Need a review? You've come to the right person.

I haven't got a chance to read any of Toni Morison's work but I did hear very highly of her. A lot of people say her works truly portrait the African-American culture. What's her work like?

Her writing is amazing. Very detailed characters, good dialogue, and a lot of important themes. She definitely doesn't shy away from describing horrifying things, though, like violence against slaves. I really like her books. I would recommend starting with Beloved, or Song of Solomon.

Night by Ellie Wiesel- have to read it for school- do not read unless you want to have severe psychological damage. It was a good book but I'm going to have nightmares for weeks.
Perks of Being a Wallflower- Stephen Chbosky Fantastic book. It's realistic fiction, which I generally don't like, but this one was amazing. If you have seen the movie, the book is even better!
The Lord of the Rings trilogy- by J. R. R. Tolkien- Haven't gotten to far into this one. After all of the school reading, I don't have a lot of time to.
and The Dreams That Stuff Is Made Of by Stephen Hawking- Very hard to read but interesting if you are interested in quantum mechanics. It's nonfiction, which I generally don't like either, but this was very interesting.

Chuck Norris- worshiping gnomes, undead pandas, pet chupacabras and undead Keanu Reeves-what could possibly go wrong?

That's my favorite author too! She actually inspired me to write. Best books in the world. I love Magnus and Simon!

Eventually, I'm going to start "Earth Abides", "The Sparrow", and finish up the Princess Diaries series.
"Everybody stares, as she goes by
'Cause they can see the
flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn
, baby,burn,baby"

Was reading that horrible book.
But then I saw the movie trailer of " Life of Pi" and thought it was high time I finish Pi first.
