Of books I’ve read for my goal, of course! What did you think I meant? I have a goal to read 100 books ASAP, and I made this goal around the beggining of summer 2009. I recommend each of these books. If I had the interest to finish them, then you know they’re a good book. Either that or school made me read it.

Still Sucks to be Me by Kimberly Pauley
Bloody Jack by L. A. Meyer (I STRONGLY reccomend this book, as it is my new all-time favourite- I especially reccomend listening to the audiobook because the reader has the same accent as the main character and as she reads she reads it with emotion- it’s as if you are actually Jacky Faber living out her life or she’s a sister or a best friend telling you all her stories and adventures in one go.)
Finished Aug. 9th-ish, 2010
The Curse of the Blue Tattoo by L. A. Meyer
Under the Jolly Roger by L. A. Meyer
In the Belly of the Bloodhound by L. A. Meyer
Books I want to read:
Coffeehouse Angel by Suzanne Selfors
Guitar Girl (I forget who’s written it.)
The Wheel of Time (series) [recommended to me]
Georgia Nicholson (series) [recommended to me]
Whatever book comes after Predator’s Gold in the Mortal Engines series by Philip Reeve. But chances are v., v. unlikely that I will get around to reading it anytime soon since I searched it on the computer at Chapters and it isn’t sold, like, anywhere in Ontario. Unless it’s in either my school or city library, I doubt I’ll be able to read it unless I fly to England (where the author’s from) and buy a copy. Unless it’s sold in some other province or a country with a cheaper airfare…
Books I say I am reading (although most of them may be and are good books, somehow I have a tendency of loosing interest or getting distracted at the most exciting moments of the books):
Distant Waves by Suzanne Weyn [taking a break]
The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan [taking a break]
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Gypsy Crown by Kate Forsyth
The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney by Suzanne Harper
The Explosionist by Jenny Davidson
Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella
Heist Society by Ally Carter
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
The Reformed Vampire Support Group by Catharine Jinks
Books I honestly am reading:
Diamond of Drury Lane by Julia Golding
(May 2 2010) To be truthful, I could read a lot more than I am now. Do you know that feeling that you get when you’re reading this book and find your mind drifting off to the plot when you’re supposed to be focused on something else? When you’re addicted to a book? I usually have that feeling of about one book at a time, and that feeling propels me to finish it. However, that feeling’s been focused towards the book I’m trying to write right now.
