I'm on Robin Hobb's first Farseer trilogy at the moment, so far its great. I've also read the Physician by Noah Gordon again, which is a fantastic book. I read Libba Bray's A great and terrible beauty, but haven't looked at parts 2 and 3 yet. Yes, and also the four Twilight books, which were lovely. Harry Potter and the deathly Hollows again, at its anniversary. erm, I think that was it over the last 8 weeks. There was anotehr one, but for the live of me I can't remember what it was. Probably wasn't good then...

Answer 17

This summer I read a few books.. the first I can remember was called The Opposite of Chocolate.. it's about a 14-year-old girl who gets pregnant, it was alright. Not the best. The second was part of the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series called And Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers... these books are just about Georgia Nicolson, they're books for teens and I really love them! I also read a book called Spirit Horse about a Native boy who is separated from his party and his journey to find them, it wasn't very good. I read a book from the Water series, called Ascension. This is a fantasy-type book about mermaids and their underwater world, I had been reluctant to read it but it was actually really good! I'm starting a new book today, I just haven't picked one out yet!
