I just bought three books.
I'm just starting Atonement (and it's a pretty good read)
I also bought The Time Traveler's Wife (did you know they're making this into a movie with Rachel McAdams?)
And I bought The Looking Glass Wars (has anyone ever read this? Is it any good?)

I've never read Atonement, but I watched the movie and my sister said it's pretty similar. The movie was one of my favorites, though. <3 Almost made me cry.

I'm definitely going to check into getting that.

The Time Traveler's Wife is a wonderful book. Well written, a great story, but please, do yourself a favor and keep the Kleenex close by.

I'm currently reading the Dragon series by Patricia Briggs. Just finished Dragon Bones and am almost done reading Dragon Blood. So far, it is a pretty good story. Next I have the Raven's series by Patricia Briggs, hopefully that will be just as delightful.

I read The Looking Glass Wars and I really liked it. But I let my friend borrow it and he doesn't like it so much--he hasn't even finished it. But I have another friend who really likes it as well. It really depends though, if you're into fantasy stuff, because if not you won't enjoy it. But any fantasy nerd like me I think will like it.

The Looking Glass Wars is excellent. I loved it. It was a new interesting twist on Alice in Wonderland. Seeing Redd (its sequel) is just as good. Although it ends in a cliffhanger and the next book in the series still hasn't been announced.

Yeah, Time Traveler's Wife dropped me a blown-out sob fest.

Currently reading Charles Dickens. I'm going through my classic-literature-phase so when I meet an old-fashioned debonair (coughEdwardcough), I'll dazzle him with my knowledge of the classics.

Ugh, I hate Dickens. He rambles too much. He comes up with good stories, but his details go ON and ON. It's just like, "Get to the point man!!"
I've read Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities and it was snore-fest the entire time. But I guess I do have to give him props for coming up with Christmas Carol.

I've just nearly finished reading Pride and Prejudice, for what is pretty much like the twentieth time.
I love that book.

I need new reading material though...
