It's what I call cheap-paperback-romance. It's a fun read and it's not really well written and the story isn't that original. If you ever have time grab a copy and give it a quick read. It's a book that I only remember being the first one I cried during. There's nothing much else to remember from it.

Default Fave authors:

Martha beck who writes non-fiction self-help books, and Thomas Hardy and the Bronte sisters.

There's a mine of emotions and a wealth of information in their books.

I have three fav. authors theyr'e all really good and I can't choose. They are J.R.R. Tolkien-The Lord of the Rings, T.A. Barron-The Lost Years of Merlin(series), and Christopher Paolini-Eragon, Eldest.

The three of them are tottally awesome.

I saw Speak on HBO, and it was a good movie, but it's very like..artsy, there isn't much dialogue and to like it you had to love the book. If you had watched it without reading the book it would've just frustrated you and been a bad movie.

I love Phillip Pullman, he is an amazing author. Amber Spyglass is a must read!
