I found The Historian on a scale of 1 to 5 to be a 3..I'm the type of person who gets bored with minor details so I prefer The golden compass more...It was more fast paced than The Historian. The Historian is like The Da Vinci code but more text...try The Golden Compass before The Historian. ;)LUYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!

SHAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!~!!!!!!

I read The Historian too...an its soo long and really hard to focus and get into, but once you get into its not a bad book!!!

Ive been reading TWILIGHT, yes the girls at my school is going ga-ga over the book so i decided to check it out, yes undeniably EDWARD is the hottest thing in that book. ahahahaha.

Also reading Hanna's Suit Case, SLAVE by Mende Nazer, SOLIDER BOY by Antony Hills All are all Auto/Biography. I would definately reccomend SLAVE by Mende Nazer, its great and heart breaking. Hanna's Suit Case and SOLIDER BOY is a bit dry, wouldnt be something that interesting.

The Child called IT is amazing, you gotta and have to read this heart wretching autobiography.

May anyone kindly reccomend me some Romance genre books for me please? I need to read more!

so i'm finally done reading Twilight and i can say that it was a easy good read. Edward is very charming as almost every girl who've read the book has mentioned.

now i'm starting The Dream of the Stone - Christina Askounis. its fantasy and from the description it sounds very good.

The Nanny Diaries
I just started and I'm on page... 2, I think.

Can anyone give me some reviews, bad and good? So I don't have to waste my time reading something I'll dislike?
Thanks :]

^ Nanny Diary is entertaining, BUT it's bit longwinded. So for how much I like the book vs how much time I spend reading it, I dont think it's necessarily worth it. just my opinion.

reading The courtier and the Heretic - Matthew Stewart. I dont know if it's good, but it somehow caught my attention.

No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.
