Neat. I'm sure that makes an interesting read.

I got back to what I started earlier on this book titled "The Happy Introvert". It's another nonfiction that's both a positive self-help and just nice relaxing reading to agree with. Author is Elizabeth Wagele I think, and I think this could be something for teens to adults to understand.

The little cartoon things on the pages are amusing too. x3

I also have some manga to read that I haven't read before.

For Manga, have you read Death Note? I've never read it but as far as I know it's similar to the anime show, which is super- awesome.

I have read Death Note all the way through once, and so far from what I've seen of the one anime volume DVD I have it is very similar to the manga. I now have all 12 volumes! Almost all I first read through thanks to a local library. I ran out of patience on waiting to see if the last one was available, so I ended up buying it along with the rest (two or three volumes at a time). I love this series, because it's so original, suspenseful, and oh the twists... Rem is my most favorite character, hands down. <3

Amazing true story: When I read comics, graphic novels, and manga I can imagine what the characters sound like. When I got volume 5 of the Death Note anime and watched it (that takes place somewhere in the middle of the manga books) the English voice over for Rem sounded exactly like the way I imagined how she would sound like! (I watch anime dubbed, usually.)

What I'm going to start reading tomorrow for manga is D. Gray Man. A handful of people online told me it's good. I'll be reading this while waiting for the next volume of Durarara: Saika Arc to come to the States a little later this month. Durarara is what I'm most obsessed with. XD

Haha I suppose it is. Oh, I finally went to the library and got a book on the Bubonic Plague. It doesn't have any deep detail on Plague Doctors! That's what I was searching for! Urgghhh.... even though the library didn't have exactly what I wanted I did get a good book full of information and how the Black Death started (fleas on rats and cats brought in from other countries that were infected with the plague spread it to other animals and humans)

We newly had about the Black Death (Svartedøden in my language) in history class, and how it affected the norwegian written language under the time Norway was under Denmark. It was interesting actually X) We have a book about the Black Death. It has everything in it, how and where it started, what contries where affected and much more.

I bought I Am Number Four today. The idea of it is good, the writing style a bit boring. I'm one-third into it.

I have a hard time deciting whether to buy books in english or norwegian...

Lost hero fans! are you out there? please tell me your excited about house of hades this year, 'cuz i can BARELY contain my excitement!

[.:Alaska Young:.]

extremly exited tabout house of hades i have read the percy jackson books 17 times and the heros of olympus 12 times

[Dexter's Gal]

Well, I love the Percy Jackson series, but the Heroes of Olympus series wasn't that good, except for the third book; that one was much better. So, I'm not really excited for House of Hades, because so far the new series has been rather disappointing.

I think I'd have to check out the first Percy Jackson book from the library sometime. I remember liking it.

D. Gray Man is a good manga so far! It's exciting and intense at places. I don't have a favorite character yet though.

So for the summer I have a book to read for school -.- this is perfect because I really wanted to spend my summer reading a book that I didn't even plan on reading. Well the good thing is that I have all summer and it looks interesting. Bad part is that I have paragraphs to write and such..... Perfect

Cool! I am not sure who my favorite is yet.... although I sort of like L (I miss him!). Rem, well... I don't know too much about her yet. For a while I couldn't tell she was female or not... lol. What do you think of Mello? I don't like him very much, although that's mainly because he captured Light's little sister, and I haven't seen very much of him yet. (Just finished episode 28.)

[_Mari_]

Mello is a craaazy guy who for some reason doesn't get sick after eating all that chocolate.

Nope, I didn't like what he had done that involved Light's sister either, the poor girl. I won't spoil, so no worries.

I like N way better. I think he's been my other top favorite character.

I would like to read Heroes of Olympus, but I can't find it in any book store. I have to buy it online, but it takes so much time :c

I Am Number Four was actually a little good, so I think I'll read The Power of Six as well.
