Hi,
Neil Gaiman is one of my favourite authors and he wrote the introduction for the book I have, otherwise I probably would have missed out on a good book. And yes, it is a long read. I found it a little draggy in the beginning but it gets much better later on and I found myself liking it alot.

3. The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett

4. I Take This Man by Valerie Frankel

Was this as good as his other books? So far I have really enjoyed them all.

I've only read tuesdays with morrie apart from this one. and i didn't really enjoy both books. i guess it's because it's not the type of book i usually read.

I'm on a YA book spree.

How do you like the Sarah Dessen books? She's one of my favorite authors. Are you going to read them all? If you do I suggest you read them in order b/c there are nice surprises if you can catch them.

i've just started reading her books and so far i've read only 4. and i'm really liking them. but i didn't know that her books were in order. so which one should i have read first?

I read them in the order they were published...
That Summer
Someone Like You
Keeping The Moon
Dreamland
This Lullaby
The Truth About Forever
Just Listen
Lock And Key
Along For The Ride
The reason why I say you should read them in order is b/c there are crossovers in the books and it's fun to find them if you read them in order b/c you are already introduced to the characters. Even though they don't name names sometimes you can figure out who they are by their description. You can find info about is on Wikipedia. I found out about it while I was reading Someone Like You and was pleasently surprised to find all the crossovers...even though I knew what they were all were b/c I had read about them it was still fun to find them.
