I wish it was time for Write This Book! to be released. D',:

Me too!

HE'S JUST TOO BRILLIANT!

I know! If he was any more brilliant it would be a crime!

More brilliant? It's simply impossible for him to be more brilliant!

True...

(He's so brilliant.)

So so so brilliant. I wish he would read this conversation and the one we had about him being president.

Hi!! {Nigeus!}

Unknown Kyra!!! :D Nigeus!

Hi! What's up?

I wanted to take a shower and then read + write, but I have to watch over my little sister. So now I'll be comment replying very uncomfortably. :D 'Sup with you?

Nothing. I have a cookie/gift swap tomorrow, so that's cool. This week was horrid, though.

So sorry to hear that, Robin. :( *hugs* Do you want to talk about it?

Oh odd! You would hate me if I did. Mostly it's cause my friends are idiots, but we're also doing "Family Life" in Religion, which is the worst subject ever. It's about all that crap that people avoid, except if you're a romance novel fan...and the guys and girls aren't separated...

I could never hate you! That sounds awful. I hate romance novels. And the guys and girls aren't separated? Awkward!

It's terrible. They act like it's the most awesome thing ever and ask all these questions-and we're seated boy/girl/boy/girl etc. so it's not even like I'm next to a girl! *Throws up*
You could hate me if I murdered P.B. I would never DO that though!

Ohhhh that's so stupid!

OK, yes, I would REALLY hate you then. But I know you're incapable of doing something so indescribably awful, so I could never hate you!

Or if I fed you to the dragon. Then you would hate me. But you would be dead, so it wouldn't matter.

Please feed Mike to the dragon!

Yes!

{I second The Graveyard Book, The Secret Series, A Tale Dark And Grimm, and The Roar!}

Hmmm...Is she girly? Does she go for fantasy? Here, I'll just give you some of my favorites:

The Genius Trilogy by Catherine Jinks {Bit older. Especially the first one. I read them in 6th grade, but probably 7th or more 8th for less advanced and mature readers.}

The Foundling Trilogy by D.M. Cornish {Probably same guidelines as above.}

The Newbury and Hobbes Investigations by George Mann {Steampunk, and quite amazing for anybody who is old enough to read The Hunger Games.}

The Enola Holmes Mysteries by Nancy Springer {Large series, and great for any girl.}

The Books Of Elsewhere {Very good for anyone who's able to read the Hunger Games. Really good fun.}

The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman {Also great fun and very enjoyable.}

I could go on, but that's just a start.

Gail Carson Levine has some good "girly" fantasy books: The Wish, Fairest, Ever, Ella Enchanted, etc.

Oh, and Wendy Mass is a good author for realistic fiction.

I read Ella Enchanted quite awhile ago. I think I might have enjoyed it...It was like, 3rd grade, that's why I don't really remember. Oh, I also read Inkheart in 3rd grade. And the Theif Lord. Man, that was a year of good books.

Yes, yes it was. :D 3rd grade was around when I started using the Internet often...

Yeah... Ella Enchanted, anything by Wendy Mass (she is amazing!) Inkheart, The Uglies trilogy, Inkeart (although that's kinda depressing at points), The Name of this Book is Secret, my 'guilty read' its really girly is the Daughters... Really you can check any of our books out most of mine are pretty good age-level.

That makes three votes for The Name of this Book Is Secret!

I think you mentioned Inkheart multiple times.

Twice. But it is a great book series!

true... I liked it. It made me think about how I think it'd be awesome to live in a book but when I think about it you realize that you wouldn't want the villain!

True... It was a really cool idea!

yeah... I really need to get to the library I have so many books I need to get!

Story of our lives, huh? Need. More. Books! I still have 3 books to read, though. (And not enough time to read them!)

There's never enough time! If I don't like the book I'm reading I stop reading so that makes my list go a tid bit faster (but I like most books I read so..)

I either have a billion books to read {like now} or I have none.

I now have two books to read. Reading Horton Halfpott right now!

YAY! That was a fast read for me.

I love it. :D

So has everyone I've lent it to.

"But we don't dwell; we move on."

XD

*hugs the book* I LOVE YOU, BOOK!

I LOVE YOU, TOO, BOOK!

I bet the book feels more love than any other inanimate object in the world.

I don't consider books to be inanimate objects though... They provoke way to many emotions for me.... crying, laughing, anger, happiness.....

I've only cried during one book. It was summer before 3rd grade and I read "Bridge to Terabithia" and cried my eyes out when the girl died.

I cried a couple times... In The Hunger Games Trilogy, The Uglies Trilogy, and the Peaches trilogy... hmm I cry during trilogies often... XD

I didn't cry during that (I only read it...two years ago?), but I've cried during lots of books. The Secret Series, Harry Potter, the Secret Series, the Cirque du Freak series, the Secret Series... I didn't cry during The Help because I'm a heartless jerk, didn't really cry during Mockingbird... Cried during When You Reach Me, the Secret Series. On bad days Morning Sunshine will make me cry. (*sniffles* Don't judge me.) I've cried while reading Spider-Man comics. I've cried during Neil Pasricha's AWESOME books. (*sniffles* DON'T JUDGE ME LIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL BOSCH DARN IT I'M TEARING UP A BIT NOW.)


But yeah. The Secret Series was the worse.

I cried so much when (view spoiler)[ Rue died (hide spoiler)] in the Hunger Games...

I was kind of irritated, because she was the best character after Cinna, but I wasn't really attached to her enough to cry.
