I'm reading Untamed by P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast. I love this series. Personally, I think they're better than Twilight (which I love). This book is the fourth in the House of Night series. I definately recommend the series if you're into vampires and romance. (:
Also, I read it a whilea go but I'm impatiently waiting for the second book to come out. It's called The Hunger Games by Susan Collins. And no, it's not about vampires. I recommend this one too.
I find I always have to write something on a steamed mirror. ~Elaine Dundy

Alan Carr - The Autobiography! loving it and i dont think i have laughed at a book so much!
♪when i was 7 they said i was strange
i noticed that my eyes and hair werent the same
i asked my parents if i was ok
they said your more beautiful
and thats the way ♪
"id rather be hated for who i am than loved for who im not"
♪why is everything with you soo complicated,
why do you make it hard to love you oh i hate it,
cuz if you really wanna be alone,
i throw my hands up cuz baby i tried,
everything with you is soo complicated! ♪

Hannah- i have that book! its so sad! but really good!!
just read Average American Male- Chuck Kultgen
its pretty explicit and basically depicts this "average" nameless guy as an asshole who only thinks about sex (but its kinda satire-ish in that the author is taking society's assumptions etc of what "guys are like"), but there is quite a funny plot and he learns his lesson =P

I've just finished Apples by Richard Milward, which I thought was really good, so if anyone is looking for an easy to read, quirky, down to earth 'teen' book then I recommend you check it out.
But, right now, I'm reading Behavioural Statistics: The Core. It's a fun read.

I just finished a young adult story called Sandpiper, which wasn't anything spectacular but was a fun read all the same.
The atoms that make up you and me were born in the hearts of suns many times greater than ours, and in time our atoms will once again reside amongst the stars. Life is but an idle dalliance of the cosmos, frail, and soon forgotten. We have been set adrift in an ocean whose tides we are only beginning to comprehend and with that maturity has come the realization that we are, at least for now, alone. In that loneliness, it falls to us to shine as brightly as the stars from which we came.

The 'Black Dagger Brotherhood' series by J.R. Ward. Best paranormal erotic romance series I've ever read. I just finished the 6th book, and the 7th was only released a few days ago so I'm yet to read it. Excellent stuff right here - highly recommended for any lovers of vampires, sex & fighting

I'm reading 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card for the second time. I absolutely loved it, but want to read it again before continuing with the rest of the series.
The great artists of our time are the ones who created something timeless. But it was never them defining it that way.
Everyone has a story. What's yours?
