I am reading "The Historian" by (i think) Elizabeth Kosoveck? It is really good. I have been reading it for a couple weeks and aonly have 100 pages left. It is a mystery/history about Vlad the Impaler of the real Dracula. Fantastic book.
Yes I want a "Cold One" and I am not talking about a drink.

I'm 20 years old and will be 21 in less than two months. The majority of books I read are young adult. I sometimes read adult books, but usually only with a recommendation. I've found that I just don't get quite as lost in adult novels than I do in young adult. If you enjoy the books for younger people, it's perfectly fine to read them. At least your reading. My friends won't pick up any type of book at all. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. :)

And I'm reading The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong. Another young adult novel. It's pretty good so far. It's about ghosts.

Awwww thank you. I find myself drawn to young adult books, i just love the storylines and with some it makes me feel like im back at school and i love that feeling.

Currenly, I'm reading Inkspell by Cornelia Funk. I'm not very far due to school and everything, but I'm trying to make an effort.

I finished reading The Lovely Bones not too long ago. It was really good, but I feel really weird after reading it and I needed a dictionary far too often. I really want to know why it makes I feel so funny, though....

I read Fablehaven just to see what my son was reading. I didn't find it so exceptional, but I enjoyed it as a quick read. I don't really remember any details. I liked that the kids had lessons to learn - when they didn't listen to their grandpa, things could turn disastrous pretty quick.

I'm finishing Brother Odd, and then I'm going to start The Lord of the Rings.
