    LA Candy!

    Not really.

    I write, but don't read. It's wierd, I know.

    I've written 7 novels in 15 years.

    I never read anyone else's novels though. Obviously, I can read, or else I wouldn't be able to write. There's just not enough time though. The time in which other people might spend reading, I'm using that time to write.

    When I was younger I loved eoin colfer and Anthony Horowitz. They were such awesome authors. Artemis fowl was a really great series. Alex rider was great and also the detective brothers, I can't remember the name.

    Now I love James Patterson. His books are so brilliant to read. I really the Michael bennet series.

    Oh also I love the inheritance series even if it is just star wars. I don't care it's a nice concept. That's eragon, eldest and brisingr.

    No.9 is called Scorpia rising and No.10 is called Yassen (Based on how he became an assassin, and he being the main character)

    THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES THE HUNGER GAMES

    LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!
    Mockingjay COMES OUT NEXT TUESDAY!
    OH MY GOSH!!!!!

    There's new books coming out? YES!
    I thought maybe the series was over with Croc Tears, but glad it wasn't!

    I actually liked.... all of those. I didn't read TTW though, but saw the movie cause I had to go with my sister. So the book is better, you say?
    Never heard of Let the Last One In though.
    Is it like Let the Right One In?
    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Tolkien's books and the Ender series.
    TO all those saying The Outsiders was great... you're right. It was really, really good. The movie, though.... different story.

    Thanks for posting! Now I'm REALLY anticipating it.

    The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons. An absolutely brilliant series series of books.

    Also really enjoyed the Commonwealth Saga Books, ie Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained from Peter Hamilton.
