The last books I bought were Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, and the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe. Really liked them all, especially the last one. It has EVERYTHING he ever published!
I wanted to see what all the hype was about.
I'm not terribly thrilled with it but apparently the sequels are much better, so I might stick it through just for that.
Ellen Hopkins' Tilt was an extraordinary success! I've enjoyed all books written by her, but this one just about blew me out of the water. It was just as surprising as Impulse, my favorite book by this author. It is a fast read, especially for one who is interested in poetry. I highly recommend this book.
~I've got a secret, it's on the tip of my tonuge at the back of my lungs, I know something you don't know.~
The Legend of Drizzt... . best decision I've ever made .R.A Salvatore is a great author. It's a drow fantasy book
~The air tastes just like you, it's the smell of June
A sensory shock that jolts my spirit, I slowly swallow you
A spray of little droplets, a fragrance so refined
The spirit of nostalgia is passing me by~
Went down to the Book Thing yesterday. Free books, you don't have to return them. The only catch is you're not supposed to sell them. The limit is 150,000 per person per day. That's who gives away books at the Dundalk Heritage Fair, so I knew they had Gothic Romances. Since those are so hard to find anymore, my boyfriend ended up carrying box after box after box of hard covers out for me. Well, some stuff I'm giving for Christmas, but I found more for me than anyone else.
