well, for a long time ive really been craving some chicken, i want some every day when i get home, and i usually just microwave a chicken patty and make a sandwich, but i finished the last one yesterday:irked: so now theres no more chicken in my house, and talking about it makes me want more.......

im at the begining of interview with the vampire right now and ive fallen deeply in love with it. i saw the movie first, as a child and i had just watched it last weekend when i decided it was finally time to read the book (id owned it for about a year) oddly, ive become obsessed with the book itself, and the story. this happens to me from time totime, all i cant think about is the book and all i ever want to do is read it, nothing else is on my mind. i loved the descriptions of louis change, how he could see and hear differently, ive become obsessed with listening to every sound around me and appreciating the sights i see. i feel a strange draw to lestat, like he's real (i fully know he is not, lol) but hes the type of character you love and hate and try to understand. the book itself has yetto leave my sight since i started reading only a few days ago. though im only on page 67, the book has become so amazing! my whole expierence is hard to explain, but i getan odd sensation from this book and i cant wait to start it again.

i actually do judge books by their covers, to start with at least. i'll go to the library and glance over the titles and choose, at first, my book by that. once the title has got my attention, i look at the cover, if that holds my intrest, i'll read the inside flap, or back. if the book sounds good, i get it.

i figured it must have been considered young adult in some way because i first got it from my middle school library in 7th grade. sorry if its not:blush: of course Perks of being a wall flower- Charlie is a young, impressionable genius who cries more than anyone. He begins writing letters to an anonymous person, recalling things like the death of his favorite aunt and suicide of his best friend. Although Charlie has always been an outcast, it is his first year of highschool, and he is surprisingly more nervous than usual. His brother is a big football star who has gone off to college, leaving Charlie to fend for himself. His sister is a senior this year and believes her younger brother is a freak, and aparently doesn't associate with people of this stature. Because his best and only friend is dead, he has gotten on to entertain himself through working hard in school for a scholarship and reading every book he has ever read twice in a row. He has a wonderful teacher who offers him books to read with summaries to write on the side. Charlie has a shop class with a boy who begins to make him laugh and eventually at a football game, Charlie gets up the confidence to introduce himself to this boy who's called Patrick, and Patrick's step-sister, Sam. They are both non-judgemental seniors who take Charlie under their wing, and very patiently at that. Patrick and Sam teach Charlie all about sex, drugs and rock and roll. Patrick is a homosexual who is having a secret relationship with Brad, the quarterback of their football team. Sam is beautiful inside and out, and Charlie loves her, but knows he doesn't have a chance. Throughout the book, Charlie is touched and cries. a mango shaped space- Can you imagine mentally seeing numbers and letters in color? How about silver balls cascading through the air when you hear violin music? Thirteen-year-old Mia has always seen colors in sounds, numbers, and letters. She doesn't talk about it to anyone since she's discovered that other people don't have this ability. She has a rare condition called synesthesia, which means that the visual cortex in her brain is activated by the sound of numbers, letters and other sounds. Her "difference" causes her to struggle with math and French in school. When she finds that there are research and support groups of other synesthetes, she eagerly attends these meetings and devours information about the condition. Her schoolwork and personal relationships suffer as she becomes more involved with the compelling world of fellow synesthetes and the unique things only they can experience. Her brief experimentation with a feigned illness to receive acupuncture treatment to heighten her color perception is well done. Then her beloved cat, Mango, who has always been prone to wheezing, becomes deathly ill. Mia's trials, which include a break with her best friend and grief over her grandfather's death, provide an exciting story. It was a glimpse into a whole new world for me, and one that I enjoyed thoroughly. When Dad Killed Mom- Jenna and Jeremy knew their parents' marriage was in trouble. But no one could have predicted what would come next. Now with Mom dead and Dad in jail, Jenna and Jeremy must re-create a family of their own. But each guards a secret that could send their fragile new lives into a tailspin. Shattering Glass- “Gail Giles has a firm grasp of high school cliques – and of high school as a dangerous place…Gail Giles says, ‘As a substitute teacher, twenty-five years ago, I overheard three popular girls telling a nerd that he was ‘coming along’ but would need a ‘seminar.’ They had gotten to know him in class and had decided he was too nice and smart to continue being an outsider. ‘Seminar’ meant a trip to the mall to get his hair styled and do some clothes shopping. That started me thinking. What if one of the girls had a darker agenda? What if the nerd had to be sacrificed in order for someone in order for someone else to get power? Why would someone need power so badly? Shattering Glass grew out of these questions.” The Schwa Was Here- Calvin Schwa is one of those kids who doesn't get noticed, even when he's standing in the middle of the boy's bathroom singing "God Bless America" while wearing an orange sombrero and a cat costume. When Antsy Bonano does finally notice him, the decide to test the "Schwa Effect," then to make some money from it. They go one dare too far, however, and end up doing penance to a crabby, rich old man with a beautiful blind granddaughter. Fun aside, though, not being noticed can be tough, especially for the Schwa, whose mother disappeared when he was five and whose father seems to be out in space most of the time. As Antsy learns more about the Schwa's miserable life, he's determined to be the one who notices. But the Schwa has something more dramatic in mind. hope those help:)

half a bagle with cream cheese, didnt have much time to eat before school.

has anybody read any of these books? Perks of Being a Wallflower A Child Called It (sreies) A Mango Shaped Space When Dad Killed Mom Shattering Glass The Schwa Was Here these are just a few of my favourite Young Adult books, sorry, but its been a while since ive read them so i couldnt tell you the author without some research. if you have read them, did you like them?

thanks all!!! you make me feel so welcome

on average, probably 50-75 a day. i can do more or less though. it depends on the book and how much time i have. if its a really good book (i.e. harry potter) and i havent read it before i can finish it in 2-3 days. if its not that great, but worth reading, it normally wont take me more than a week.

i still live with my parents and i share aroom with my sister, so ive cleared out 3 drawers in my 5 drawer dresser for books. all of my clothes are shoved into a little pile at the bottom of my closet:tong:

woops! should have put that in the first post, lol i like adult fiction. murder mysteries are my favourite. i also like a good comedy once in a while. my favourite authors are James Patterson and Janet Evanovich. for now any way. i love the Women's Murder Club series and the Stephanie Plum series. I'm currently reading a memior by sara thrye called Dark At The Roots. i like memiors, but not bios, they bore me. i also dislike romance novels, thought i heard i can write them very well. um, i think that covers it:D

um, well, i hate intros, so here goes nothing. hi my name is amber and im new. im 16 and ive always been a huge fan of reading. my main problem though is that im a fan of adult novels and its hard to talk to any of my friends about the books ive read. my aunt reads a lot of the same books as i do, in fact, i get many of them from her, but i'd like to talk to someone other than my aunt. thats why i went in search of this place! im a member of some other forums and ive found the atmosphere quite enjoyable. so, i hope to meet some nice people on here and have some good convos;)

hi! im new!, lol well, i love the stephanie plum novels. i'll read them in class and lough out loud and normally get in trouble:lol: its unstopable though. my aunt is bringing number13 with her when she comes to visit next month and im super excited! this woman is a genius
