Thank you! :D
Oh I've heard of the Great Gatsby, it was a big part of this other book I read (The Rest of Her Life by Laura Moriarty).

Oh. Here we go.

1. The Gemma Doyle Trilogy. "A Strange and Terrible Beauty", "Rebel Angels", "The Sweet, Far Thing". By Libba Bray.

2. Anything by Jodi Picoult. Since she has a million, my top few of hers would be "My Sister's Keeper" (which is my number one favorite book in the whole world), "Plain Truth", "Salem Falls", and "The Pact".

3. Likewise, anything by Sarah Dessen except for "That Summer", which sucked. "This Lullaby", "Dreamland", "The Truth About Forever", "Lock and Key", "Just Listen", "Keeping the Moon", and "Someone Like You" are especially great.

4. All three of Sara Gruen's amaszing novels. "Water For Elephants" is one of my top three most awesomest books in the whole wide world. It's just riveting and fantastic and gahhhh. Her other two are a series, "Riding Lessons" and its sequel "Flying Changes". Both are brilliant.

5. If you don't already... HARRY POTTER. =D

That's all of my favorites off the top of my head. =)

Oh! I've read the Gemma Doyle Trilogy! Well I haven't read the Sweet Far Thing yet because I wanted to re-read the first 2 books first, I'm getting on it though! :)
Of course I've read Harry Potter. Seriously. It's one of my favourite series. ^^
Oh wasn't that movie there with Mandy Moore, How to Deal, based on one of Sarah Dessen's books?
Thanks for the recommendations! :D

That movie makes me want to beat things. They took her worst book and one of her most honest books, and made a crappy movie out of it, thereby ruining the good book forever. I can't watch it all the way through without yelling at the tv =)

Thanks for the recommendations! :D

I am adding you. I know, this is out of place, but you are simply too book crazy for me not to add you.
Yay for Jane Austen.
I'm currently reading Royal Harlot by Susan Holloway Scott. I am really enjoying it and, from your list, you might too!
You like Georgette Heyer? Have you read North and South or Cranford?

Oh it's fine don't worry about it! :) Oh you love Jane Austen too!YAY! I really like Georgette Heyer, The Talisman Ring was so amazingly epic. In a non-overpowering epic way. Ok that's a weird description. I haven't read N & S or Cranford but I realllllly want to. Maybe when I finish the other million books I want to read...LOL. I just looked up Royal Harlot, it looks SO good.
What's your favourite book? Unless you can't decide, like I usually can't. ;)
I love your icon by the way.

Thank you :D!!!
I can't decide. Each book is different, each equally important. I have the same problem with saying which are my favorite movies *sigh*
I haven't read The Talisman Ring yet. I have just put it on my list though!!!
You really should read North and South. It's...so great. The descriptions are so heart pounding. Margaret and John's relationship is more detailed too!
Royal Harlot was very interesting. The main character is very fierce and determined to get what she wants. Have you read any Philippa Gregory?
Lovely being your friend :) Hope all is well.
