I just finished Eleanor and Abel this morning. It's a romance story, which is a genre I'm not really into but this book was at least endurable. It's a sweet little story about an elderly woman falling in love for the first time. The characters were all enjoyable and even though the story was very simple, it still held my attention.

My favorite was The Horse and His Boy. I liked the two main characters in that book (can't remember the names though!) and the action was pretty cool. I hope that they will one day make this one into a movie!

I would defiantly recommend Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. It's a great book though not at all how I expected it to be. You should read the whole series. The books are greatly enjoyable! Though, I have to admit that the last book left me a bit cold. There were so many open ends; mysteries left unsolved. But, it was still a fun read.

I've read a few of his books. I've seen many of his movies though. Sometimes I have trouble getting into a book after I've seen the movie. One of the books on my TBR pile is The Stand. Is that one as good as I've heard it is?

My TBR List: Conrad's Fate - Diana Wynne Jones Holes - Louis Sachar The Homeward Bounders - Diana Wynne Jones The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden Our Mutual Friend - Charles Dickens Nebraska Legacy - Diann Mills Power of Three - Diana Wynne Jones A Prayer for Owen Meany - John Irving Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen The Reader - Bernhard Schlink, Carol Brown Janeway Sarah - Marek Halter The Stand - Stephen King The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger Watership Down - Richard Adams

I guess I'll start one of these. It would be nice to have a way to remind me of all the books I've read. Though, I don't get to read near as much as other people here!
