APPROVED. With Max, skip The Final Warning. For the love of all things awesome, skip The Final Warning.D8 That bad? It's a 200 page brochure about global warming, basically. Ending with Max actually making a speech about it. Most fans pretend it never existed o-o Since last I posted~, I only have Wicked, A Countess Below Stairs, and Peter and the Shadow Thieves left.

A Countess Below Stairs was great. < 3 I'm not reading anything right now, since I have to work on a short story for class. ;___; asdf. Will anyone read a crappy short story? : P
All joking aside, I just finished Howl's Moving Castle and House Rules. Both were amazing. < 3 Howl's Moving Castle is pure fantasy, and House Rules is about a boy with AS who gets tried for murder. Good books. And they're long.

Hayao Miyazaki made a movie called Howls Moving Castle! You should watch it! It's awesome!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith. (Arthur would be horrified and dissapointed in me. ) And I've got the sequal on hold as well at the library so I'll be reading that one next.

And her book is called "A Piece of Cake" and it's how she had a horrible abusive childhood, joined a gang, and almost OD'd on drugs multiple times, got help and went on to go to law school and become a lawyer. But there's been speculation if it's all fake because alot of the people in her book have been unable to be track down most of the people in her book.

Thanks~ I knew it had Cupcake Brown somewhere in it. Really? 8O I just thought it was a good read so far, I didn't delve much further than that.

I'm reading Night Watch now. It's really engaging, but I've heard the ending's kind of sad, so I'm dreading that. @ka and CE about MaxRide: What Ka said. The third book wrapped it up fine, we did not need the next two. They... were... so... bad.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith. (Arthur would be horrified and dissapointed in me. ) And I've got the sequal on hold as well at the library so I'll be reading that one next. I've been trying to read this book since last summer. It's soooo slooooow... I mean, it's funny, but there's too much pride and prejudice and not enough zombie mayhem.

Finished Night Watch. Naturally, it was awesome. Now I'm onto Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice. Drinking game: Pick any book from the Vampire Chronicles. Look at the reviews for it on the covers and front pages. Take a shot every time it's described as "erotic" or something to the effect of "mesmerizing" and three big gulps every time "dark" or "sensuous" is used. Now have fun with your alcohol poisoning. A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle. I'm liking it so far. I'll probally read the other books by her as well if I have enough time. I'm probably the only person in the world who hated that book.

Still working on Wicked - 'tisn't as good as the musical, probably going to return it to the library. Working on 'A Countess Below Stairs' again, because we need to do book reports in French class. Have Ink Exchange and The Hunger Games lined up.

As of now, my list is like this.
The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff White Oleander by Janet Fitch
Vine Of Desire by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni Dr. Strangelove by Peter George The Electric Kool-aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway This Is Your Brain On Music by Daniel Levitin Switching Time by Richard Baer
I have White Oleander and Dr. Strangelove with me and my Dad has Electric Kool-aid acid test... somewhere, but I'll start on Dr. Strangelove next because its smaller lol. I should really read White Oleander soon because my sister has been bugging me to read it... for the entire year.
Speaking of which, When I bought Dr. Strangelove, my thoughts kind of went like this:
Oh hey, I didn't know this was based off a book. *looks closer* Oh, its a book based off the movie. Ah well, I'll get it anyway. Doing things in reverse is hardcore! Countercurrents are the signs of epic awesome! Reasoning not understandable *looks even closer* Based off of "Red Alert" by Peter George? .... Its a book based off a movie based off a book? *Headasplodes*
