Hooked on The Pact by Jodi Picoult. A good summer read in my opinion.

Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. One of my friends lent me the series to read while she went home for the summer, so I've been slowly working my way through them.
please grant me my small wish; (love me to the marrow of my bones)

I'm reading Carrie by Stephen King at the moment among other things. I hate the movie but the book's pretty good.

Robert Frost's "Selected Poems". So good!

'I Love You Beth Cooper' by some guy whose name is on the cover of the book. Its a very comical read but its definitely not for young eyes.

Beyond the Chilcotin : on the Home Ranch with Pan Phillips by Diana Phillips.

Excellent book. Just as good as Rich Hobson's books.

Just finished Sin City, "The Hard Goodbye" and "A Dame To Kill For". I realize that I've only really been judging Frank Miller by his work that sucks now (All Star Batman, DK2), but he actually really did know how to write once.

Am reading "Crime and Punishment" for English class, and to be perfectly honest it's a bit confusing and boring as of now. Maybe something to do with all the crazy Russian names, it's making me hard to tell the characters apart. *shrug* And "A Tale of Two Cities" for Academic Decathlon. I was afraid it'd be awful or a slog because the previous works I've read (and never finished...) of Dickens' were like that for me, but it's actually a fairly snappy read and it's helped in that I love the character of Sydney Carton. So I've been making good progress on that.
Ah, it is an empty movement. That is an empty movement. It is.

I LOVED those books! Just wanted to say that.

I'm currently reading North of Beautiful, by Justina Chen Headly, and I'm also reading The Bermudez Triangle, by Maureen Johnson. I love them both so far...
