Oh, I got my name in the subject line. How lovely.

Okay - what sort of books are you into? My favourite book of all time is Party Monster, but that's about real life murder, drag queens, and drug use. If you can handle that, and find dark humour funny - then go for it.

If you're looking for something a bit more romantic - I Capture the Castle is a great book. Ashley's read it, so you can ask her for her own thoughts on it. Indigo currently has it in their bargain section for like...6 or 7 $$. Niiiice.

The Lovely Bones is another great book - I can imagine you liking that one, so if you haven't read it - go for it! It's sad and wonderful.

There are a million and one good books - let me know if you're looking for anything specific and I'll see what I can reccomend.

Oooo...I will look into those.

But the kind of books I really like are the really really really really sad ones...that make you cry your blood out. And not the sad that is like a mushy ending or cheesy romance..aw..so cute/sad...NO....I like the hardcore sad..depressing....rips your heart..its so sad you stop breathing. Or it makes you think really hard about life and how sad it is. HAHAHA. Sorry if I sound a little emo. But that's what I like to read. I don't like boring stories like Lurlene McDaniel which I used to like in grade school. It

If not sad then I like a book that's EXTREMELY funny.

So what do you think?? anything meets my requirements???

A Million Little Pieces - for sure!!!

and Party Monster is the funniest thing I have ever read in my entire life, but maybe I'm just sick?
