Ameraka, you've read Amish Vampires in Space? How was it? I've only heard about it, though it definitely sounds interesting. Did you like it?

I just finished Through the Balustrade by Mary Beth Dahl, a Christian fantasy YA novel by someone who went to college with my mom. It was pretty good, somewhat confusing in some parts, and I wouldn't say it's the best book I've ever read, but I liked the story, and I'm definitely interested in what's going to happen next. The characters were interesting and the world was creative.

I like it so far. I'm maybe only 1/4 through; the vampires haven't really shown up yet. Just a menace in the background. I like how they portray the Amish society--it actually seems authentic, despite the fact that it's set in the future on a different planet.

I am reading The Long Way Home by Andrew Klavan. SO suspenseful!

Tell me about it!! Wait till you read the rest of the series!

[GratiaDei]

I have now read the Scarlet Pimpernel. I really liked it, I loved the characters and I could really empathize with them.

[Renae]

SCARLET PIMPERNEL!! My favvvvv boook!!

I started reading the book Eve and had to stop. NOT A GOOD BOOK.

By Anna Carey? If so, agreed!! I skipped a few chapters then decided to put it down. It was a bit to descriptive for me =P

YES! It started out great and I was really liking it...but then... yeaaaahhh :/

(by the by..I feel like we're always reading the same books Star! We must be the same person!! o.o )

[Stella C.]

Ugh =P I hate it when that happens! Like one series I'm reading, the Selection, it's been so good, but it's kinda been goin' in a bad direction.... I'm praying the next book is just as good as the rest!

Have you ever read Cinder by Stephanie Myers? Awesome book right there!

(Bwhaha, totally called it! )

Last book I read was........ Oh goodness, it's ben forever cause I haven't had time to read lately! *sobs* Probably Outcasts by Jill Williamson. Pretty interesting.

I'm currently reading a book I got free called "Perception". XD It's not the best writing wise, but I like it. I went to the library a few days ago and got a ton of books I've been wanting O.O As soon as I have time, I'm going in my room and never coming out.

[Stella C.]

I have seriously read all the books in my library's teen section (like, legit). It's awful Whenever I get a book in my hands now, I usually finish it in an afternoon

[Audrey]

XD Yeah, it was like that for me too. But now the teen section is a huge room AND six shelves in the hallway. It's amazing. *wipes tear* And they have a video game room. B) Just sayin. I love reading, but I have no problem with some "mindless entertainment" xD

I've read the Selection and the Elite! YES They are a little iffy :/
I haven't read those other ones but I will DEF look into them *begins process of bugging her mother into taking her to the library*

THAT IS SO ME! My brothers are like "How can you like to read. Yuech!" Books are my food *chomps down on a 300 page novel*

[Audrey]

Same! My youngest brother hates to read. I have since disowned him. I read SO fast xD my friend loaned me a three hundred page book and I literally had it done in an hour and a half. Everyone's always like "Did you really read that? XD"

The longer, the better, I say. I have friends who won't even read a 100 page book... However, as a good friend, I have introduced them to many books they now love. 0=) Such a good influence, right?

[Stella C.]

I read each of the Eragon books in less than two days I read way to fast... And it stinks on long car rides =P

[Audrey]

I knowwwwwwwww. I love my kindle. XD I literally used to bring two huge grocery bags full of books on car rides. Also, am I the only one who has to bring two books somewhere, because I'm halfway done with one and I know I'll finish it and I can't bear being without a new book? XD

[Stella C.]

So. Do I!! It's awful!!

[SirWhit]

Anyway...I'm reading Star Wars: Heir to the Empire.

[Starflower1234]

Stella C., You've read Outcasts? Have you read Captives as well? Was it a good book? I'm interested in reading them, but I'm kind of cautious when starting a completely new series by a completely new author, but I've heard several good things about them.
I'm currently reading the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. Interesting, though a little dry in some parts. I do like knowing the origins of Middle Earth though. I loved Tolkien's creation story though! I thought it was so cool the way he did it, with the song and Melkor's rebellion.

[Stella C.]

They were both really good, and really make you think but they deal with some kind-of-mature issues, so just to throw out a small warning =] but they were really good, and I'm anxiously awaiting the next book!
