Started from the beginning on Death Note! I'll be re-reading some of these while waiting for Saturday--when I get the next Durarara, and two volumes of D. Gray Man.

Reading a bit more of The Happy Introvert at a time, still. It's a bit like self-help, but it's also a nice feel good book for teen and adult readers. :)

Hello!
Title: To Be a Cat
Author: Matt Haig
Other books in series: None
Genre of the book: Uhh... fantasy?
Anything I should know first?: Since I'm terrible at plot summaries, here's the synopsis of my copy:
Life couldn't get any worse for twelve-year-old Barney Willow.

He's weedy, with sticky-out ears. Evil bully Gavin Needle and headteacher-from-hell Miss Whipmire both seem determined to make his existence a complete and utter misery. Mum doesn't seem to care, not that she's around very often. Worst of all, Dad has been missing for almost a year - and there's no sign of him ever coming home.

Barney just wants to escape. To find another life, where his problems would disappear... To be a cat, for example. A lazy, pampered, snoozing-by-the-fire cat. Things would be much easier - right?

Barney's about to discover how wrong he is...

And here's the synopsis of a copy my mum got for my friend:
What if I told you that tomorrow you'd wake up as a cat?

That's right. You heard me. A cat. Whiskers, fur, four paws, a tail - the real deal.

You might not believe me. But really, you should be thanking me.

Most people don't have any kind of warning, you see. It comes as a complete shock to them.

It came as a shock to Barney Willow...

About a week ago I re-read 4 out of 5 books in the Undeland chronicles a.k.a Gregor the Overlander series. I read the fifth book(412 pages) in one day. xD :) I also read the 4th and the 3rd in one day, the series is just so good!

I am currently reading the book "To Heaven and back" by Mary...( I can't remember her last name). xD
