The Lovely Bones was very very good. It is a book that just took my breath away. I hope you read it, Dawn.

Bookcrossing has been a wonderful addition to my book obsession! I have a bookshelf as well. The url is in my signature!

I buy most of my books from half.com or from a used book store here in Austin. If I have a gift card then I'll go to B&N or Borders but only if I have a giftcard.

I read this book as well, Alana, and I enjoyed it very much. What a cute book it was! It's consider Young Adult but it captured and held my attention!

I keep a list online of what I've read: http://www.nicole2112.com/books This has the books by year. The current list is what I've read this year so far, then there are links on the left hand side of 2002 and 2001 books. There is also my "to be read" list. Those are books that I currently own...

I'm strictly a one at a time, girl. I like the thrill of finishing a book and it takes longer if you try to divide your time.

I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions except for "The Outsiders" (which is a gang book actually) which has already been suggested above. Judy Bloom or Beverly Cleary is another good suggestion. Bless you though for taking the time to care for this girl. Good luck.

I could read a 500 page book in about 5/6 days. Assuming I wanted to finish it. I don't waste my time with books that aren't holding my attention or entertaining me. I read purely for entertainment and fun. If it's work - I put it down. I get paid to work. :) I would love to take a speed...

I'm reading constantly as well. I read before class, I read between classes, I read if I'm in traffic, if I'm waiting for something (my book travels with me). I'm notorious for being early at various places so while I'm waiting - I'm reading. I'm a huge fan of audio books so I get through a...

My daughter made me a bookmark about 3 years go. It's red with stickers on it and then it's laminated. I've used it ever since. It's sad to see corners that have been folded down or a book that has been written on. They just seem so fragile to me, to write in it seems wrong.

Like some of the other members, I too "free" my books when I have read them. I either swap books with someone else at Bookcrossing.com or I just leave them someplace for someone else to pick up. Sometimes the person that picks the book up will go to Bookcrossing.com to make a journal entry on...

I second Bluewillow's suggestion of "Life of Pi"

I just started "Dance Upon The Air" by Nora Roberts for a book group co-read. I just finished "Blue Diary" by Alice Hoffman.

This is just hilarious. Now that's what I call obsessed. 45K - at least it's going to charity!
