I tend to have times where I read for half a year, and then lose interest and repeat. At the moment, its the Guiness Book 2009, just for laughs.
What?! Were you expecting a signature?

I'm reading "Red Dwarf - Backwards" again, as well as two series written by friends of mine. I'm neglecting all three, though. DX

Reread Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and now I'm reading Deathly Hallows again. I'd forgotten how Holocaust-esque some of the Ministry's actions are.. having the Muggleborn register, pure-bloods being the "superior race" and not breeding with "undesirables," telling the public that Muggleborns were trying to bring down the pure-bloods and that they had "stolen" their magic.. hmn.

YES. Dobby. >:D

I'm reading Catcher in the Rye as fast as is possible, as my exam is tomorrow and I completely neglected to re-read it properly. I'm also going over the notes for my poems =[

yes, Hedwig ;;

Haha, I remember the wonderful speedreading of set texts before English exams.. I almost miss it. Almost P: I actually only read half of Frankenstein before my AS exam, which was.. probably a bad idea, but there y'go xD;

Seriously, there's that much junk to write about in that book that you don't NEED to read it all to sit an exam on it.

They've gone and changed A-level English now.. so you don't get the text IN the exam. You're supposed to learn it all D: I find that ridiculous.. very glad I sat it the year before that changed. Don't make it any more of a memory test than it already is! :c

Good look, you GCSE'ers, for tomorrow ^_^

As young as I am, it would be surprising to hear that I read that entire book on my own free will. For an independent novel project.


It may also be surprising that I am currently reading Twilight.

Yes.

Twilight.

;.;


And I was planning to finish Warriors: A Dangerous Path by the last day of school. I'm barely halfway through it nao... ;.;

I finished reading Megan by Mary Hooper today. I got it today too, but it's a little small and I read it through Geography and R.E when we were watching films.

I can't wait for when the Megan 2 goes back into the library. It's really good, and curse the person that took Megan 2 out.
if neither the whisper of wings,
nor the passing of words,
speak of darker things,
draw the blade and advance further in life,
break through the vicious gate and into strife,
listen for the falling of feathers,
as soft as the sigh of wind through the heathers.

I'm reading a translation of "Murder Trials" by Cicero. I'm so prententious. It's really good though.. he has a fantastic talent for speaking that is noticeable even in the modern word.
I like Sqwirtle.

I just finished Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer and was a bit disappointed with it =/

Now I can't decide what to read. Will probably either be Necropolis by Anthony Horowitz, Glass Houses by Rachel Caine, or Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman. I have like 8 or more books that I haven't read yet =P
