Just finished "If You Come Softly" by Jacqueline Woodson. *cries* Very sweet and sad... SO depressing at the end.

The Uglies trilogy. *shivers* Makes you wonder what our society's bias towards pretty people is coming to...

The Swords Of Night And Day by David Gemmel. The only book that I have not read written by the fellow. Very interesting. Shame that he will not publish anything more. The poor man.

Beauty -- Robin McKinley


Strange, I've never read it. But I like it for nostalgia's sake - Beaty and the Beast was the only princess Disney film I ever liked to go back to and think about.

*hides copy of Crime and Punishment and Anna Karenina*

Uhm, no, what are you talking about? Nonsense, that's what! This is an absolutely Russian-free zone!

Haha, those books are next on my list, along with a little dose of Nabokov. Russian-free zone indeed! :P
