xD I'm a sophomore in high school now. :3
I think I've outgrown that entire series, though... o.o I remember reading Into the Wild in sixth grade, come to think of it. But yeah, I've outgrown the series, more or less. xP

And I began to read Magyk, like the first few pages... But then school interfered, as usual.

Facade, the first chapter of Magyk is boring more or less, but by the middle of the book you will be caught
in its gravitational pull >:3!

I'd love to take the Challenge!
Love to read, and it's a brand new year.
For the now (due to school) my goal will be the minimum fifty.


Books Popcorn's read

` Savannah Breeze- MAry Kay Andrews
page count: 431 w/o recipes in the back
It's a nice, read, especially for the older crowd 30+
(Although I'm much younger > w < I really enjoyed it). Main charatcer Bebe Loudermilk seems to be ontop of the world...that is until a smooth talking con-man manages to take it all away, how will she handle solve her problems?? Will she ever get her old comfortable life back?? Read to find out.
-----------------

` Beyond the Burning Time - Kathryn Lasky
page count: 265 w/o authors note.
This is a historical fiction book set during the times of the Salem Witch trials. In goes in and gives the motives, emotions, and the lies behind the trials.
------------------------

` The Tenth Circle - Jodi Picoult
page count: 387 (includes the comic pages)
This is a book, that kind of trials off, it doesn't really end, so much as it fades out.

It's about a family that drifts away from each other, there's infidelity, plenty of lying, and crime.
Despite the ending it's a nice read.

Side note: There are comic pages in the book (the father in the book is a comic artist, he's working on a story based on his own hardships). Later on in the book you find out that tin the pages are hidden letters, and the letters spell out the them of the book. I won't spoil it though. Go read it.
------------------

` Keeping the Moon- Sarah Dessen
page count: 228
recommened age: teens (mainly female)

This books tells the story of a girl, who is able to open up (after gaining an undeserved reputation at school) and become comfortable with herself during a summer "get-away". She gains some new friends and learns some life lessons.
----------------------

` Johnny Tremain - Ester Forbes
page count: ???
Yet another historical fiction book. THis one is set in colonial times about 1773+. During prerevolutionary and during revolutionary times. The books main focus isn't really just the war, it's about coming of age, everyday life, and the change. And even though it happened quick a while ago, it's still relevant.
------------------
` Vanishing Acts- Jodi Picoult (done.)

` Black Boy - Richard Wright
autobiography
page count :: 368

` Kissed by an Angel -

Yeah, my To-Read list is getting pretty long too. I just don't know how I'm going to get my hands on all the novels I want to read through. My college library doesn't carry a lot of them, and even if they did I wouldn't have enough time for them during the school semester. And altogether it would take a lot of money to buy them all, even if I could find them by-chance in a second hand shop.

I hate problems like this...

@ Pearl: I loved it too. The ending just tears your heart out.

I just finished reading The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test earlier this year, which is about Ken Kesey's LSD trips with his Merry Pranksters, so I figured it was about time to actually read some stuff by the author. I'm trying to find a few of his other works, but all the bookstores I've visited so far don't carry them. It's a bit disappointing.

Magyk is such a great series. Its similar to Harry Potter.
In my opinion it surpasses it. Its set in a different time.
One with dragons, creatures, charms, and alchemy and such.

Flyte and Physik were both disappointing for me because
a few things happened that i wish didn't happen... but
otherwise the they were fantastic.

Isn't there a fourth book in the Magyk series coming out? I remember seeing posters for it around town awhile ago.


And geez, why does everyone read so much faster than me? I thought that I was going at pretty fast pace for the year already, but some of you have half a dozen books already.

@Knerd - What is the Magyk series about?

Sorry, to make you feel sad. It's just that I'm a huge book worm. I know this may sound either extreme or exaggerated, but I read Harry Potter 7 three times in the first day it was out. You may believe me, you may not. But, that is basically what little life I have.

I've never read Magyk or it's sequels, so I've been asking everyone else to tell me a little bit about it. I'm still kind of in the dark.

And I'm just feeling slow lately because of all the books I have left to read. I've got a stack sitting in the corner of my room, waiting for me. So no matter how fast I go, I still have 20 more to get through. And I don't want to lug them all back to college with me, so whatever reading I want to do has to be finished at home. It's a bit frustrating. :?

Aw. I would give you more books to read, but now I feel bad. I'm still waiting for more books to come out. Other than that, I'm just re-reading or picking up random books off the self because all the good ones, I've already read, and nothing else seems interesting.

If you don't mind my asking, where do you go to college?

In Upstate New York, at one of the SUNY schools.

It's a good 4 hour drive from my house, and I have to rely on friends to get me there, so I try to pack as little as possible.
And that means leaving my library at home. =(
