I can't wait till the third book comes out as well. I am completely enthralled by the story. I'm glad it comes out soon. It will be nice to continue that story.


It was really good. Eclipse only made me want more of the story.
In the mean time I will have to keep my thoughts away from that book and on some of Rudyard Kipling, and Robert Frosts poems.

Read His Majesty's Dragonby Naomi Novik. It is the BEST dragon story ever. I'm only half way through, but there are three books to it that I know of.

I found a book the other day that I'm thoroughly enjoying. It's called The Fall of Lucifer by Wendy Alec. It's written in the perspectives of Lucifer, Gabriel and Michael. Big Grin

If you like books about love and vampires than you should read Twilight and New Moon by Stephanie Meyers. They are SOOOO addictive!! I love them. Smile

If you liked that one then Search and Destroy is better. It may be more gruesome, but it tells the life of a Charlie Ranger, about your age I think, in Vietnam.

My Sister's Keeper.

Go read it. All of you. Now.

A light that failed by:Rudyard Kipling

It might be hard to find though, my copy was printed in 1889.

The Return of Santiago is excellent but I reccomend reading the prequel first

Unintended Consequences is excellent for you banned book readers out there
