TWILIGHT!!! (the books are great, the movie was ok.)

see, the books are really good, but the only time i actually liked the movie was when the Cullen family was there. NOT when bella and edward were alone together. i liked the side characters better.....when she went to the Cullen house was my fav scene, and the baseball scene was amazing....Jackson Rathbone is the coolest!!! but anyway, i also love pretty much any Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein.

there are so many books i love. some of them are the hunger games, no pretty pictures, chinese cinderella, the devil's arithmetic, the maximum ride books, and the percy jackson books.

See, my problem with the Twilight series is that Stephanie Meyer's writing style is amazing, but her plots are terrible. I've heard The Host is very good, and I'm inclined to believe it, because if she started with a good plot it's clear she could write a good book. The plot of Twilight sounds like a fanfiction of itself, though

Yeah I completly agree.... She's a great writer...


Though I love Percy Jackson, they aren't my faves... My real favorite book is A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. I also really like The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart and The Sterkarm Handshake by Susan Price.

I also really like Shakespere...

I AM AN ENGLISH LITERATURE GEEK AND PROUD OF IT!!!!!!! (Oops, that was a bit loud, wasn't it? )

The Host is by far my favorite book by her. without a doubt.

Harry Potter, all the way. (it's where I got my username) I actually don't have a ton of time to read, because I spend so much time at Science Olympiad. One of my other favorite books is The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin.
