yay! I never thought someone was gonna choose "my" Fairies: real encounter with little people (which by the way is by Janet BOrd,not Bard.)
I completely loved this book and it's one of the reason why I chose to go and visit Ireland. I ended up living there:)
I almost picked Uglies. I'll have to check back to see how you like it. I read Crime & Punishment for AP English 15 years ago. I wonder how it would be now? Enjoy your books!
HMm we aren't reading any of the same books unless I get around to some of my alternatives. Will be interesting to see if you enjoy them or not.
