I'm reading An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. It's a really good book, but I have to say that Paper Towns still completely owns.

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments Yeah, I much prefer Paper Towns & Looking for Alaska to An Abundance of Katherines.

I am currently reading nothing because I have a giant library fine and I can't check out books until I pay it off. Roar.

Alrighty, I am at last giving it another try ... after nine years.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

It's cute so far ... Her writing bugs me, but I've been told it gets better.


Jordan, The Picture Magician (aka Probie) (thepicturemagicianakaprobie) | 2218 comments Well, she wrote the first book in the back of her car, so you've gotta cut her some slack.

Ugh, her writing style gets on my nerves too.
I don't really see why writing something in the back of a car should change her writing style any.

I paid off my 40 dollar fine! And now I'm reading:

I Do! (Diary of a Teenage Girl: Caitlin, Book 5)

It's this serious I was obsessed with this summer/ last spring and I just found the last book that wasn't originally going to be part of the series and it's like awh. Old me! I loff it.

Hmm...I'm not quite sure what to say about this one yet.

Two words about that book: ALEX. PETTYFER.

(Okay, he's in the movie. Close enough. :D)


message 163: by Autumn (new)

Autumn (flwurautumn) | 4987 comments Yea! I wanna see it, but I always say books are better than movies, so I have to finish this before I go see it.

*nods* That's why I read The Last Song before I watched it.


message 165: by Autumn (new)

Autumn (flwurautumn) | 4987 comments I still haven't read that. And my mom turned it on the TV a couple weeks ago. *facepalm*


message 166: by [deleted user] (new)

Hehehehe. The Last Song. I felt so bad because I laughed the whole time and then was relieved when (view spoiler) because I thought something bad was going to happen to the turtles XD

Why does her location matter? I'm sure she didn't edit it from the back of her car.

UGH, that book. Well, the thing is ... that book was literally only written so that James Frey could get a movie deal out of it. It pisses me off so much.

Just read this, and you'll see what I mean: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001...

He is quite attractive.

I have no desire to see "I Am Number Four" ... However I'm very excited to see "Beastly" <3

Woohoo! Pride & Prejudice!


message 173: by tesni (new)

tesni (akhmatova) | 5031 comments I suppose.
I'm only about 40 pages in, and there's no major drama so far. Jane's ill and there's a lot of banter.
I keep telling myself I shouldn't expect her to write anything else, being a woman in such a society when women weren't expected to write novels and such, but, still.

Yeah. It's quite insightful into Georgian society to boot, more so than any historical fiction could be.

I have the BBC adaptation on DVD. The old one with Colin Firth. I haven't seen it yet, though. My correspondence course tutor sent it through with my copy of the book. Bizarre.

Haaa. I doubt it. The book was only written to be turned into a movie, basically. *grumbles* The whole thing is screwed up.

Bahahahahaha. We fail, Autumn. But that's okay. Beastly is AMAZING. <3 I can't wait to see the movie.

Right now I am reading The Juliet Club

I'm reading Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke! So far it seems to be one of those rare sci-fi novels that focuses more on philosophy than the science aspects, giving a really thought provoking story about evolution.
