read 60 books in 2008

70.) Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella. (I absolutely loved it – although, I prefer some of her other books more, this one’s still brilliant :) Jon was awesome, and so was Lexi. And Eric…well he was just fucked up – Mount Blanc?! Ewww. Overall, a very good, and fast read – well worth it)
edit:
71.) Artemis Fowl and The Time Paradox by Eion Colfer (OMG – I can’t beleive I forgot to add this, even though I read it ages ago :z heh, anyways, it was a pretty awesome book – apart from the whole Artemis/Holly thing (!) And where was Minerva? I so thought something was gonna happen!?)

69.) Lazy Ways to Make a Living by Abigail Bosanko (reread, and omg, I love this book.)

Even though I’d already read this book (a year or two ago o _ O). It’s amazing how much I’d forgotten – and ironically, I’d forgotten all the main twists in the plot – (Oh! The false end was a shock, I was so distraught for a while D:). Which, I suppose was even better for me, because it was just like reading it for the first, but with a very happy, warm, fuzzy memory of it. ^ – ^ Jamie ♥

Brilliant :)

65.) Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman (I can’t believe I havent read these before.)
66.) Eye for an Eye by Malorie Blackman (Jude is completely fucked up)
67.) Skip Beat 1 by Yoshiki Nakamura (Didn’t really like the draings, but Ren was good :P)
68.) Vampire Knight 1 by Matsuri Hino (lovelovelove, especially Kaname! ^ – ^ The anime’s awesome too :D !)

by Sylvia Plath (an amazing book. So strange and lovely – even if a tad depressing)

“I saw the days of the year stretching ahead like a series of bright, white boxes, and separating one box from another was sleep, like a black shade. Only for me, the long perspective of shades that set off one box from the next day had suddenly snapped up, and I could see day after day after day glaring ahead of me like a white, broad, infinitely desolate avenue.”

55.) To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (Gasp! What an AMAZING book, I loved it. Scout’s a doll, Boo Radley’s SO nice and Atticus – what an inspiration! Brilliant book – another firm favourite!)
56.) Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer (lol!! LOVEEE, literally 756 pages of pure joy (apart from Bella’s pregnancy thing, that just really highlighted the importance of contaception to me :x))

58.) The Pact by Jodi Piccoult (reread, but I still love it)
