It's a very good series! I believe it goes: Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras. It's targeted toward teenagers, and I read them when I was one. From what I recall, its a dystopian future where children are "ugly", all the time, and don't live with their parents or siblings. Once they reach a certain age they undergo surgery to make them "pretty" and then are allowed to live with other pretty people. If you refuse or fail to follow all the rules, you'd be kicked out of the community and banished for life. It follows the life of a girl who goes through the surgery, and eventually goes beyond that by becoming a Special - someone who makes sure people follow the rules. In time she realizes things aren't as they seem, that this world isn't right for people to live in.

At least I think that is the basic premise. It's been over a decade since I read them.

Anyway...Z is for The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks.

A is for As Old as Time, a Twisted Tale by Liz Braswell

B is for Blaze, by Richard Bachman (aka, Stephen King )

C is for Clifford the Big Red Dog. Classic literature XD

D is for Doctor Sleep by ... you guessed it, King

Sounds interesting! I'll keep an eye out for them in the library. :)

E is for 'En toen schiep God Kevin' (translation: And then God created Kevin) by Bart Debbaut.

Lets go back to the basics -

F is for Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Good one, Cora! I'm always surprised by how many people think Frankenstein is the monster, and not the doctor. The monster never has a name!

This one isn't quite as old, but I do believe a classic nonetheless.

G is for The Giver, by Lois Lowry.

Indeed! The monster was only ever Frankenstein's Monster!

Also absolutely also a classic!

H is for Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

I is for 'Inkheart' by Cornelia Funke

J is for Judy Moody Gets Famous!

K is for The Kite Runner. I definitely cried when reading this one.

L is for Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

M is for Microbe Hunters by Paul de Kruif

Name Drop by Ross Mathews

O is for Othello! William Shakespeare, of course.

P is for A Promised Land by Barack Obama

Q is for 'Queen's Quality' by Motomi Kyousuke

R is for Rage, by Richard Bachman/Stephen King. I read it for the first time last year: I can understand why he doesn't publish it anymore, though I don't think any books should be banned of course. I'm lucky to have several copies of it. Well, collections of his short stories that contain it. Rage, on it's own, goes for thousands of dollars and I'm not that desperate to have a copy of that

S is for Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

T is for the Tommyknockers, by Stephen King.

U is for Unbirthday, A Twisted Tale by Liz Braswell

How'd I get V two games in a row

V is for Virgin River by Robyn Carr.

W is for The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

X is for (the) Xenophobe's Guide to the Belgians by Antony Mason
