Hey Stella! Have you ever read the Wrinkle in Time Series? It's a good read for all ages.
I have not! I've seen the movie a few times, as its my brother's favorite.

I'm almost finished Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz. SO. GOOD. If you're a Sherlock fan, like me, you'll definitely want to read it.

Have you read the Red Rock Mystery series? I would really reccomend them if you haven't read them!
Another series that is new is by Tim Shoemaker; the first one is called The Code of Silence. The series isn't finished yet though; but it is really good.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Good book.

I read the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th of the Young Sherlock Holmes Mysteries. The author, I was surprised to learn, went to the university that I can see out my window as I'm typing this.

I am reading Do Hard Things. It's interesting thus far.

I read Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. It was one of his easier reads: interesting, and a bit amusing (though of course not laugh-out-loud funny, because, c'mon people, it's Shakespeare).

I'm currently reading The Silmarillion. It's… interesting. But good. And it's cool to learn a lot of the backstory on LOTR.

I'm reading the tenth Left Behind book; they were different than I expected them to be. They are good, though.

I just started Gulliver's Travels. It's interesting alright. Jonathan Swift has a weird sense of humor.

This Present Darkness, by Frank Peretti. I. LOVE. IT. Those of you with different theology may not but that is OK and I really like it!

The book is a MILLION times better than the movie, even just the first couple of chapters. Though the movie did a good job as well, the descriptions and the building of the characters was absolutely first rate, there was really no way to adapt it all to the screen.

Really? Did we read two different books, my dear Lim? The characterization was good, certainly. But they had a somewhat limited set of characteristics, and they had a pretty basic story arc.
