What book or books are you currently reading? Are you enjoying them? Would you recommend them? I'm currently reading Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. It's a relatively new Young Adult novel and I am loving it! I definitely find myself relating to it quite a bit, and I love how the author has written some of the characters. Due to the F bomb being dropped every now and then I'd recommend it for 16 and up.

I am currently reading "The Fourth Apprentice" - the first book in the fourth arc of the Warriors series. I'm not reading it much, though. Just when I have my NOOK around and am bored, and don't want to do anything else on it.

Ooh! I own the first Warriors book. Been meaning to get around to reading it. Lol! As for me, right now I'm reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I think I'm about 60 pages in. So far, so good.

Currently reading Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (part 2 of 5 in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books). The first part, Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief, was so addicting. I was planning to get the movie adaptation of it, but I heard it was extremely horrible so I ignored it haha.

I am xurrently reading The Hunger Games. I really like this book series. At first, I wasn't sure about it, since it had kids fighting to the death. But after I started reading it, I couldn't put it down (I m talking about when I first started reading them last year, by the way). I would recommend it, but, for obvious reasons (kids killing kids, wars later on, etc.), I'd say for no one under twelve to read them (but that's just my opinion). There is also a little romance (nothing more than kissing, though), which is something that I enjoyed in the books that made me keep reading them.

But for fans of the book series it's awful. I'm currently reading The Hostile Hospital by Lemony Snicket. It's the 8th book in A Series of Unfortunate Events. I haven't read that far into it yet, but I absolutely LOVE the series so I'm probably gonna fly through this one.

I just finished reading Stephen Hawking's A Brief History Of Time. I must say it was an amazing book, and now I got a much clearer look on the universe. Looking forward to reading his other two books, Black Holes And Baby Universes and The Grand Design. Definitely, Stephen is one of the most remarkable scientists of the 20th and 21st century.

I have a few books I'm tackling at the moment.
The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot. It's quite a bit different from the movie, but I like it. It works!
The Grim Grotto by Lemony Snicket. I have no words for how incredibly amazing this book series is.
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews. Haven't read very much of it yet, but I'm intrigued.

I started reading Princess Diaries almost two months ago. It is quite a bit different - I agree. It didn't quite interest me enough to just sit there, reading it for two hours though. And yes, that series is really good! I loved it a few years ago. I've been trying to get back in it, but I can never find the first book. ---- I'm reading two books right now: Divergent by Veronica Roth. I will admit one thing: I'm not as into it as I was with Hunger Games, but it's still really good. If only I had more time to read it. Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw. Even though I'm reading it for school, it is the best book I've been given by an English class to read since 4th Grade, I think. I'd recommend it for anyone and everyone to read.

I'd recommend it for anyone and everyone to read. Pygmalion? Wasn't he an ancient noble or king of Cyprus, who fell in love with one of the marble statues he created, and Aphrodite gave it life for him? At least that's what I've heard by the name ''Pygmalion", can't say I've heard about the book in any way. Now reading Stephen Hawking's the Grand Design. Amazing book, and I think I will become an astrophysicist thanks to it. And its author of course.

I am now currently reading Timekeepers by Alexandra Monir. I've been waiting to read it for two months, ahd am enjoying it so far.

I'm reading Attachments by Rainbow Rowell. Although, I'm almost done so I guess I'll be picking up another book soon. Maybe I'll go for a spooky one. It is October after all..
