not in order

1) Looking for Alibrandi - I love this book, the movies good, but nothing compared to the book, i recommend it to everyone

2) Intensity - I love the way Dean Koonzt switches from the killers point of view to the womans, it was really well written and really creepy

3) Once - one of the best fairy tale books, but very naughty...its not for children

4) Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban

5) The last vampire - all three of them are good


6) Portent - Im reading this one at the moment, its very good, a little slow in some parts, but also a bit confusing

7) The taking - another Dean Koonzt book, this ones a little strange and confusing at some parts, but there are bits which made me get goosebumps

8) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

9)Charlie and the chocolate factory - i know its a kids book, but i just keep reading it over and over...i love Roald Dahl

10) anything by Paul Jennings , i love his storys, he has a wicked imagination

I don't read a lot so I don't think I could list you ten books, but I'll list those which I have enjoyed.

In no particular order:

- Fahrenheit 451
- To Kill A Mockingbird
- The Bible (especially the book of Galatians)
- The Diary of Anne Frank

That's all for now. I have a whole stack of books that I have to read during the summer due to mandatory school summer reading so I might have to come back and edit this after I've read more books.
