I liked that one!

I just finished Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, which was a pleasant surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and highly recommend it!

^ Awesome! I LOVE Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. I love how unlike most novels, this story is narrated from the POV of an Autistic boy, in which me and Christopher can relate so much from it. His intelligence is so impressive and he should be appreciated by everyone. :)

I'm also reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. :cheese:

Agreed! I'm a bit of a literary geek (okay, more than a little bit), and I'm also a huge lover of unreliable narrators. I really enjoyed the quirky and unusual POV.

I'm also reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. :cheese:

Good book! I wasn't a huge fan of the sequels, though. Have you read them?

Actually, I just started reading the first book today. I dunno how the sequels will turn out. :nehneh:

A book called 'Fire.' Very plainly written and a weird premise, but I have to do a book report on it :S

Oh! I remember reading that! It was pretty good. Never followed up on the sequel though.

Also, I'm drifting through The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. It's alright, but not amazing.

Fire itself is a sequel (or companion really) to Graceling. Are you getting the two confused? XD
