Hey everyone^^ Just came to tell you all that todays one of our members in
RainFallingLove birthday! http://lunariha.minitokyo.net/
Lets wish Lunariha a Happy Birthday!
Gahh Aozora-chan, you write sooooo much! AWW ARE YOU FEELING BETTER NOW?! ARE
YOU OKAY?! IS THERE ANYTHING I COULD DO TO HELP YOU?! OH GOSH AOZORA-CHAN, YOU
MUST TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOURSELF! GAHHHHHHHH! PLEAAASEE! DONT GO TO SCHOOL WHEN
YOURE SICK!
oh god, good luck! that sounds IMPOSSIBLE. if i had to translate all my notes to
my language, i could never do it! so good luck to you and focus and study and
ACE THAT TEST FOR ME! WOOT! actually, its for you...but i dunno why people say
it so i said it.
thank you! i took the test...i failed...i know i didn't get in to the
program...T-T but i REALLY REALLY WANTED TO!
huh?! april 5th?! our independence day is on...july 4th no? unless im mixed
up...gomen! but as far as i recall, its on july 4th. ehe, sorry!
Welcome, Nera334! *looks at your page* So many groups! You are on a spree,
aren't you? And in just about two days...aiming to be active eh? Just make sure
you keep within the rules; you don't want to be like Popular-chan. Read the
Maigetsu issues and you'll know what I mean. ^.^ Hope you have fun here!
I hope my previous long posts don't scare you...lol.
Poor Haven! It's horrible being sick... I once, no, twice, had to go to school
sick...first time was worse because I got punished but was too darn proud to
tell the teacher that I was sick. I didn't want to have to wait around either to
be sent home. Thankfully I don't get sick too often now. Hope you will recover
soon!
Exams, exams...I half wish I could push them all further away, half wish to get
them over with so that December 6th will be here and I will be free to photoshop
all I want. This year is SPM year which means it's one of the hugest exams a
Malaysian teen has to sit for. Gah...if only everything is in English,
understandable English that is. I used to be able to get away with learning all
my history, geography and other stuff in English because it was mainly objective
and graphs... now I have to write essays in Malay! So it's even more of a bother
to re-translate my memorised notes back to Malay during exams...therefore, I
have to learn it all in Malay. But then I go so slooowww. The only things I can
do it prpoerly with are the independence day stuff and World War...Five chapters
dedicated to Islam; Good Grief! Whhhhyyyy!
Oh dear, this got a bit long too...

welcoe them even if its a bit late hehe.as sel been on lately i forgot to tell
her i wouldn't be able to pla mabinogi anymore my comp started acting up and
even windows li won't work T^T.
I came back to fill in some blanks I noticed in my post. ^.^
But first; that's a beautiful vector, Lunariha! I've already commented on it so
I do not need to express my admiration all over again.
Yeah, where's sel? It's been a while...
Read half of Valiant at the bookstore, Salma. It's goooodd. It's set after Tithe
and is about a girl, Val, who is labeled a delinquent but in fact, upholds some
principles that her friends don't even know of. She is in the lacrosse team,
trying to make something good out of herself, but it all goes wrong when she
punches the team leader who insulted her and her friend, gets kicked out and is
betrayed later by 3 of the people closest to her.. Confused, angered and upset,
Val runs away to the city; New York City to be exact. Having made some drastic
changes, homeless Val wanders about until she is taken under the wing of the
strange and wild Lollipop (I'm not kidding!), Sketchy Dave and
older-than-his-years Luis. But there is more to this than meets the eye...living
in the tunnels of the subway, a whole different reality is revealed to Val;
fairies do exist, right in the midst of humans. But they're not your kawai desu
Tinkerbell fairies, oh no; they are the fey, the faerie from the olde times, of
strange attraction and danger... Ravus, the troll has the group's leader under
his thumb with a deal; delivering potions to the other faerie. However,
throughout the story, human and faerie alike are in danger....but from
what?
Diana Wynne Jones! My favourite author too. There are about 3 Chrestomanci books
to do with cats; Charmed Life, Magicians of Caprona and The Lives of Christopher
Chant...but then, you said it's harry potterish so...Witch Week? Am I right? You
have to read her other books too! If you want the more serious stuff, I
recommend Ivy and Hemlock. It's got an interesting style...
Me? Good at writing essays? Well, it depends on the topic...I usually pick story
or descriptive topics during exams. But topics like conservation of
water/electricity always despair me...there's totally nothing interesting to say
without getting out of their strict regulations.... Well, I like adding some
punch to my writings when it's about stuff like my posts..haha.
How does my writing scare you? From a scale from 1 to 10? 10 being freaking
leapt out of my seat (lol) and 1 being just "" this person...freak. Haha.
Hello minna! :P Ive been absent for a while, haven't I? Well, it's because I
didn't have time to respond to such long posts. Haha. I wonder what all of you
guys think about this ultra-long posts that Salma, Aali and I have been
writing...were you kind of like this? .''''
Haha. I want to get to know the rest of you! So don't be shy, say more!
:P
Nice! Haven, your page is really lovely. I like the gentle blue you used...it's
very calming and shoujo. Is that picture up there in your userpage your own
vector or something? It's very cool, electronic music instruments and all...
Very pretty friendship card. Well, I could nitpick but nah. The thought counts,
no?
priincess! That banner is sooo cute. Two kawaii charas snuggling up together in
a blanket on a rainy day...so cosy. Thanks for sharing!
Now, the long ones:
Aali : Yay! Someone who has the same taste as me in books! Aali, you have to
read Phillip Pullman; he's really good in writing. Even those books of his that
he kind of mocked are great reads. Take Ruby in the Smoke, for example. He was
saying that he wrote it as melodramatic stuff just for the heck of it (or
something like that) but it turned out great despite that. He wrote other stuff
too, like Tiger in the Well. The prologue sounds rather promising online but I
couldn't find the rest of the book here...
I've read Cirque du Freak too...almost the whole series. It was interesting at
first...but at some points later, it got rather overdone... but there's more to
it than just the usual vampire stuff, really...just that the author is kind of
inconsistent and writes like a teen...to appeal to the boys, I suppose.
Didn't read Vampire Diaries. Sounds kind of intriguing though.
Guardian of Time; read first book. Interesting, quite original. Style was a bit
hesitant but still a nice read. Side characters could do with a bit more
refining though.
Maximum Ride...I really don't get this writer. With the excuse of "this is
for the youth", he went and wrote it with a rather awkward style. It is
sort of stemmed from the Lake House story but in a cruder style and with more
stuff going on. While Lake House seemed to try and keep it subtle, Max Ride
doesn't. It's revelation after revelation after fight after escape after
escape....all the winged kids ended up being superhuman, especially the youngest
girl...yeah, her abilities seemed to get a bit much... but the main story is
wow!
Angels brought to Earth by the greed of men and made to fear and fight for their
lives and all the while, they stay together as a flock... and are surprisingly
more human than many of us. This book could really have been better...
Erm..the list...can you wait for a while first? Kind of busy...I want to give
you a good and proper list after all.
Salma: Hey you've read O. Henry! it
was the Gift of the Magi. Tinged with irony and human emotions. How two in love
would do just to please the other. Short, powerful and smart story.
Picture of Dorian Grey is a book about a young man, Dorian Grey, who was very
very handsome and innocent and used to be as pure as he was beautiful. He
befriended an artist who becomes so attracted to him that he painted portraits
of him. But one day, the artist's old friend meets Dorian and from there,
changes start to occur. Because that friend had an influence that was as
magnetic as Dorian's looks. Because that friend was one who dealt with lesser
and murkier matters. Because on that day, the artist finished his portrait and
within it lay a secret that not one of them suspected...until it was too
late.
Well, does that attract you? :P
Ironside is the real sequel to Tithe. Valiant is more of a spin-off... Eoin
Colfer is a 'he' by the way. When I saw you refer to him as a female, I was like
"huh?! I thought Colfer was a guy all this years?!" lol.
Wind-up Bird Chronicle.... At first I thought it was a slice-of-life story. But
then, it was labeled as fantasy so I found it odd...then I read on..well, let's
just say that it is nothing, NOTHING like what it seems at first or most other
fantasy books.
Summary: Toru Okada is a mostly normal, thirty year old man who lives in an
apparently ordinary neighbourhood with his wife, Kumiko. Aside from the fact
that he just left his job in the legal business, life seems pretty good for
him...the only thing amiss is that the cat's gone missing. But that itself
triggers events that change their lives forever. Or rather, it was all meant to
be, the unbreakable will of fate that subtly brings people together, worlds
crashing down, and ...magic. Side characters may well actually play huge parts
in this game of wits and power; bland, ordinary people may withhold secrets that
they themselves know not of; people seemingly unrelated have ties almost
unimaginable; and all through out, the wind-up bird cries its strange harsh
call, like the winding of a spring to set the world off on clockwork...
It may be boring to some. But I find a strange, alluring Japanese charm in it.
Of course, I wish there weren't , well, how polite can I say this; hentai
scenes. I know it's something to do with nature; know it's there to show the
extent of the dormant powers; but still! That part is certainly not meant to be
read by youth... but but I do love the characters and all their subtleness,
human flaws, quirkiness, secrets....well, I don't actually love all of them but
I do admire how the writer, Haruki Murakami brought out all the individuality of
the characters. I don't know if this applies for everyone, but when I read it, I
can really feel the scenes.. My favourite charas are Toru Okada and May
Kasahara. Okada is rather passive but deep down he cares and because of the way
he is, he has to be the one who stands up to the almost unnoticed forces that
has affected all too many people and now threatens to do so in a larger scale-
and get away with it. May Kasahara initially seems like a typical teenager
albeit she's skipping school, but there's much more to her than meets the eye.
She has no special abilities but looks out to the world in a cynical, sometimes
depressingly true and sometimes ever so funny way. I can really feel her
character....and I kind of get her strange opinions, even felt some sort of
closure.
Anyway, yatta! I already joined Faerie Club! Now what?
Ermm...did you read what I said about Vampire Knights? Not that I really
care...I'm dropping it for the moment....I'm dropping my vector for a while too.
I'll have to find something simpler to vector...
Here's a little paint tut. It's for painting wood...and I don't wanna make tuts
again..! it was hard to make a tut...painting itself isn't this hard...
ive disappeared for awhile. gomen nasaii. ive been sorta kinda busy and my
sisters are here so i havnt actually gotten a chance to talk much. gomen. i
gotta make this short and sweet:
aozora-chan: yatta! go me! i
gotta make this short since i have a paper due tomorrow...but anyways, I LOVE
CURRY! I LOVE LOVE LOVE CURRY! THATS JUST ABOUT ALL I EAT AND I LOVE IT!
hmmm dreaming place. its about this girl named...something so lets call her x. i
forgot her name. gomen. so yeah, her mother died and her father abandoned her so
shemoves in with her aunt and uncle's family. they have a daughter whose name i
also forgot so lets call her y. so x hates y and vice versa just because x was
bitter about her parents and so she was angry at the whole world, making y hate
her because y thought x hated her. sooo then x is put in a postition in which
she has to fight this other world people to get back y's soul since it was
reaped.
sorry. i suck at summaries.
Diana wynn jones! i started reading her books! I LOVED THEM! there was this one
book...it had a cat on the cover...sorta like harry potterish ish. it was good,
bu ti never got a chance to finish em. Eoin Colfer wrote artemis fowl series
no?! i read her books when iwas younger and i LOVE THEM! soooo good! Phillip
pullman wrote clockwork right? i loved that book! it was so freaky! the others i
dont know. gomen. Ive been recommended to read Ambrose Pierce but i never got
the chance. as for o.henry, hes interesting! i read one of his pieces and i
loved it! i forgot the title, but ihes got a really appealing writing style and
i love the plot! i think it was some sort of magi story or something. i forgot.
it was in 6thh grade that i read it...
the picture of dorian gray...ive never heard of it. is it any good?! should i
read it?!
ahh you gotta read twilight series! its good! and interesting! i thought that
too in the beginning but when i got to the end, i was satisfied seeing as how
the couple actually faces some very intense problems. as
for tithe, i twas good...i mean, i love rath roiben rye, but thats just about
the only reason i like it. it was an okay story but too much...improper content
for my liking. i wonder...aali-chan, did you read valiant or ironside, the
sequels to tithe? one of the books is about an ogre and a person i think falling
in love, according to a friend, and the last book is when kaye and roiben and
the other couple join. cool ne?
Aozora-chan, please tell me how the "wind up bird chronicle" is!
you must be amazing at writing essays...
fairy club! MUST JOIN! i got a LOT of my friends to join! woot! gooo me! good
thing i have connections...ehe...*cough cough*
good luck vecotinrg! it sounds soooo hard and i dont even know what it is but it
sounds crazy hard so good luck!
Haven: Nice page! I LOVE KANON!
Priincess: AAAAAAAAAACKK! YOUR BANNER IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! ADORABLE!
KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! TRES TRES MIGNON! AHHH!
tashie: me give sup. too tired to argue...your views are yours, mine are mine.
me no argues no longer.
Thanks for the compliments on my layout Yeah I
like Kanon too
By the way I made a friendship card for Lunariha and Selemental Do you
all think it looks okay? or needs more work
Okay. Very long posts and not much time. Well there is time but I don't wanna
waste a lot of time here. I've started getting behind in my guestbook posts. So
I can't make super long posts now. Anyways. Let me start:
phoenix: One thing: Kaname wants to protect Yuuki just as much as Zero does. But
I won't say anything else because Vampire Knight is getting me annoyed. I
usually do get really annoyed with books and manga and anime...
Heh heh...the rejuvination of Faires is going pretty well...
aozora: Long post! You beat phoenix! You're post is now the size of a pretty
normal PM to Brian...
Lol. Well usually I don't look at Japanese artists. I just listen to the songs.
So I didn't know it was Malay.
Oh yeah...that's true. I usually do come when I'm hungry...
Okay. Of all those authors, I've only heard of Philip Pullman. I have "His
Dark Materials" trilogy in one huge paperback book (although I want to get
a harcever set) and I saw the movie. I've been dying to read that trilogy! Are
there any of his other books you recommend?
Hmm...what are the other authors like? Please email me a huge list of books to
read this summer! It'd
help me find somethign to read!
Hmm...well I usually read easy fantasy just cause I'm lazy. I choose it
randomely. One of my favorite series is the Twilight series. Those are really
good. You're right about the relationship--the romance does start too fast. But
Twilight is her first book. Through the books she gets a lot better. Eclipse is
really well written in my opinion. When I read all three Twilight annoyed me
like hell; New Moon was okay, and I loved Eclipse. It went at the rigth pace.
I also liked Cirque du Freak when I read it. But I read it in seventh grade, so
I don't know if you'll still like it. It also deals with vampires-but these are
different than the Twilight and Vampire Knight vampires. It's about a boy who
turns into a vampire. He's pretty young and goes through a lot of thigns that
normal vampires his age don't do. And he turns out to be very important. I know
it's a crappy summary, but I'm in a rush.
I love Vampire Diaries. It had four books. It's really good. I LOVE STEPHAN AND
DAMON! Vampire Diaries is about a girl named Elena who gets everything she
wants. A new boy comes named Stephan and she wants him. He tries to avoid her at
all costs because she reminds him of someone he loved back then before he turned
into a vampire. Eventually they fall in love and she discovers his secret. Then
his brother, Damon comes in. He too, falls in love with Elena (he was also in
love with the girl from the past). Damon and Stephan hate eachother. The who
series is sort of about how they have to work together to defeat this greater
evil. And Elena has to choose between them...
Hmm...a non-vampire story...
The Guardians of Time is a pretty original trilogy. The idea was really good.
The style wasn't though. It went too fast and just annoyed me. But it's
interesting.
Maximun Ride is really interesting too. I love it. It's about six kids that are
2% bird because of this expiriment. They have to escape from the scientists that
want to do tests on them. The style is absolutely horrible. That's a really bad
part of it. Eventually it's bearable. But in the beginning, it goes super fast.
It automatically jumps into the story and the characters are a bit flat. Too
much info too. It looks like something I could've written. My writing is still
eh. But the storyline is exciting. It really depends on the person reading. You
seem to like harder books. So I don't know if you'll like these.
OH! PENDRAGON IS AWSOME! I really love it. The style is good. It's descriptive
and I love the idea. You should definitly read it.
Hmm...Anything else? Of course! But I'm in a rush and I think thise went longer
than I expected. So yeah...I'll talk about more books next time. -.-'
Opps...umm...Tithe was okay. I mean I liked it a lot. But it's not one of my
favorites to be frank...
I actually don't like classics very much. They're interesting...but I always
have to force myself to keep reading. So I haven't really been able to read
them... I hope I can get through Jane Eyre, The Phantom of the Opera, and
Wuthering Heights though...hopefully I can read harder books soon...
Yeah...I won't comment on Vampire Knight.
Well I'm trying to get the Fairy club to actually discuss more. I have a
Discussions section. I just haven't had time to update it. Heck...if that's what
the club turns out to be I'll get sick of it extremely fast...
Must go. This has taken me much longer than usual because of the books. Adios!

There are about 3 Chrestomanci books to do with cats; Charmed Life, Magicians of Caprona and The Lives of Christopher Chant...but then, you said it's harry potterish so...Witch Week? Am I right? You have to read her other books too! If you want the more serious stuff, I recommend Ivy and Hemlock. It's got an interesting style...
Me? Good at writing essays? Well, it depends on the topic...I usually pick story or descriptive topics during exams. But topics like conservation of water/electricity always despair me...there's totally nothing interesting to say without getting out of their strict regulations.... Well, I like adding some punch to my writings when it's about stuff like my posts..haha.
How does my writing scare you? From a scale from 1 to 10? 10 being freaking leapt out of my seat (lol) and 1 being just
"" this person...freak. Haha.
See you when I do!

Hello to all!
Has Sel-chan been on lately? I really missed here *sniffs*
My Newest Vector: ~The Heartthrob~
Hello minna! :P Ive been absent for a while, haven't I? Well, it's because I didn't have time to respond to such long posts. Haha. I wonder what all of you guys think about this ultra-long posts that Salma, Aali and I have been writing...were you kind of like this?
.''''
Haha. I want to get to know the rest of you! So don't be shy, say more!
:P
Nice! Haven, your page is really lovely. I like the gentle blue you used...it's very calming and shoujo. Is that picture up there in your userpage your own vector or something? It's very cool, electronic music instruments and all... Very pretty friendship card. Well, I could nitpick but nah. The thought counts, no?
priincess! That banner is sooo cute. Two kawaii charas snuggling up together in a blanket on a rainy day...so cosy. Thanks for sharing!
Now, the long ones:
Aali : Yay! Someone who has the same taste as me in books! Aali, you have to read Phillip Pullman; he's really good in writing. Even those books of his that he kind of mocked are great reads. Take Ruby in the Smoke, for example. He was saying that he wrote it as melodramatic stuff just for the heck of it (or something like that) but it turned out great despite that. He wrote other stuff too, like Tiger in the Well. The prologue sounds rather promising online but I couldn't find the rest of the book here...
I've read Cirque du Freak too...almost the whole series. It was interesting at first...but at some points later, it got rather overdone... but there's more to it than just the usual vampire stuff, really...just that the author is kind of inconsistent and writes like a teen...to appeal to the boys, I suppose.
Didn't read Vampire Diaries. Sounds kind of intriguing though.
Guardian of Time; read first book. Interesting, quite original. Style was a bit hesitant but still a nice read. Side characters could do with a bit more refining though.
Maximum Ride...I really don't get this writer. With the excuse of "this is for the youth", he went and wrote it with a rather awkward style. It is sort of stemmed from the Lake House story but in a cruder style and with more stuff going on. While Lake House seemed to try and keep it subtle, Max Ride doesn't. It's revelation after revelation after fight after escape after escape....all the winged kids ended up being superhuman, especially the youngest girl...yeah, her abilities seemed to get a bit much... but the main story is wow!
Angels brought to Earth by the greed of men and made to fear and fight for their lives and all the while, they stay together as a flock... and are surprisingly more human than many of us. This book could really have been better...
Erm..the list...can you wait for a while first? Kind of busy...I want to give you a good and proper list after all.
Salma: Hey you've read O. Henry!
it
was the Gift of the Magi. Tinged with irony and human emotions. How two in love
would do just to please the other. Short, powerful and smart story.
Picture of Dorian Grey is a book about a young man, Dorian Grey, who was very very handsome and innocent and used to be as pure as he was beautiful. He befriended an artist who becomes so attracted to him that he painted portraits of him. But one day, the artist's old friend meets Dorian and from there, changes start to occur. Because that friend had an influence that was as magnetic as Dorian's looks. Because that friend was one who dealt with lesser and murkier matters. Because on that day, the artist finished his portrait and within it lay a secret that not one of them suspected...until it was too late.
Well, does that attract you? :P
Ironside is the real sequel to Tithe. Valiant is more of a spin-off... Eoin Colfer is a 'he' by the way. When I saw you refer to him as a female, I was like "huh?! I thought Colfer was a guy all this years?!" lol.
Wind-up Bird Chronicle.... At first I thought it was a slice-of-life story. But then, it was labeled as fantasy so I found it odd...then I read on..well, let's just say that it is nothing, NOTHING like what it seems at first or most other fantasy books.
Summary: Toru Okada is a mostly normal, thirty year old man who lives in an apparently ordinary neighbourhood with his wife, Kumiko. Aside from the fact that he just left his job in the legal business, life seems pretty good for him...the only thing amiss is that the cat's gone missing. But that itself triggers events that change their lives forever. Or rather, it was all meant to be, the unbreakable will of fate that subtly brings people together, worlds crashing down, and ...magic. Side characters may well actually play huge parts in this game of wits and power; bland, ordinary people may withhold secrets that they themselves know not of; people seemingly unrelated have ties almost unimaginable; and all through out, the wind-up bird cries its strange harsh call, like the winding of a spring to set the world off on clockwork...
It may be boring to some. But I find a strange, alluring Japanese charm in it. Of course, I wish there weren't , well, how polite can I say this; hentai scenes. I know it's something to do with nature; know it's there to show the extent of the dormant powers; but still! That part is certainly not meant to be read by youth... but but I do love the characters and all their subtleness, human flaws, quirkiness, secrets....well, I don't actually love all of them but I do admire how the writer, Haruki Murakami brought out all the individuality of the characters. I don't know if this applies for everyone, but when I read it, I can really feel the scenes.. My favourite charas are Toru Okada and May Kasahara. Okada is rather passive but deep down he cares and because of the way he is, he has to be the one who stands up to the almost unnoticed forces that has affected all too many people and now threatens to do so in a larger scale- and get away with it. May Kasahara initially seems like a typical teenager albeit she's skipping school, but there's much more to her than meets the eye. She has no special abilities but looks out to the world in a cynical, sometimes depressingly true and sometimes ever so funny way. I can really feel her character....and I kind of get her strange opinions, even felt some sort of closure.
Anyway, yatta! I already joined Faerie Club! Now what?
Ermm...did you read what I said about Vampire Knights? Not that I really care...I'm dropping it for the moment....I'm dropping my vector for a while too. I'll have to find something simpler to vector...
Here's a little paint tut. It's for painting wood...and I don't wanna make tuts again..! it was hard to make a tut...painting itself isn't this hard...
ive disappeared for awhile. gomen nasaii. ive been sorta kinda busy and my sisters are here so i havnt actually gotten a chance to talk much. gomen. i gotta make this short and sweet:
aozora-chan:
yatta! go me! 
i
gotta make this short since i have a paper due tomorrow...but anyways, I LOVE
CURRY! I LOVE LOVE LOVE CURRY! THATS JUST ABOUT ALL I EAT AND I LOVE IT!
hmmm dreaming place. its about this girl named...something so lets call her x. i forgot her name. gomen. so yeah, her mother died and her father abandoned her so shemoves in with her aunt and uncle's family. they have a daughter whose name i also forgot so lets call her y. so x hates y and vice versa just because x was bitter about her parents and so she was angry at the whole world, making y hate her because y thought x hated her. sooo then x is put in a postition in which she has to fight this other world people to get back y's soul since it was reaped.
sorry. i suck at summaries.
Diana wynn jones! i started reading her books! I LOVED THEM! there was this one book...it had a cat on the cover...sorta like harry potterish ish. it was good, bu ti never got a chance to finish em. Eoin Colfer wrote artemis fowl series no?! i read her books when iwas younger and i LOVE THEM! soooo good! Phillip pullman wrote clockwork right? i loved that book! it was so freaky! the others i dont know. gomen. Ive been recommended to read Ambrose Pierce but i never got the chance. as for o.henry, hes interesting! i read one of his pieces and i loved it! i forgot the title, but ihes got a really appealing writing style and i love the plot! i think it was some sort of magi story or something. i forgot. it was in 6thh grade that i read it...
the picture of dorian gray...ive never heard of it. is it any good?! should i read it?!
ahh you gotta read twilight series! its good! and interesting! i thought that too in the beginning but when i got to the end, i was satisfied seeing as how the couple actually faces some very intense problems.
as
for tithe, i twas good...i mean, i love rath roiben rye, but thats just about
the only reason i like it. it was an okay story but too much...improper content
for my liking. i wonder...aali-chan, did you read valiant or ironside, the
sequels to tithe? one of the books is about an ogre and a person i think falling
in love, according to a friend, and the last book is when kaye and roiben and
the other couple join. cool ne?
Aozora-chan, please tell me how the "wind up bird chronicle" is!
you must be amazing at writing essays...

Pretty vector, beautiful userpage and stunning banner.
Nice~
Okay. Very long posts and not much time. Well there is time but I don't wanna waste a lot of time here. I've started getting behind in my guestbook posts. So I can't make super long posts now. Anyways. Let me start:
phoenix: One thing: Kaname wants to protect Yuuki just as much as Zero does. But I won't say anything else because Vampire Knight is getting me annoyed. I usually do get really annoyed with books and manga and anime...
Heh heh...the rejuvination of Faires is going pretty well...
aozora: Long post! You beat phoenix! You're post is now the size of a pretty normal PM to Brian...
It'd
help me find somethign to read!
Lol. Well usually I don't look at Japanese artists. I just listen to the songs. So I didn't know it was Malay.
Oh yeah...that's true. I usually do come when I'm hungry...
Okay. Of all those authors, I've only heard of Philip Pullman. I have "His Dark Materials" trilogy in one huge paperback book (although I want to get a harcever set) and I saw the movie. I've been dying to read that trilogy! Are there any of his other books you recommend?
Hmm...what are the other authors like? Please email me a huge list of books to read this summer!
Hmm...well I usually read easy fantasy just cause I'm lazy. I choose it randomely. One of my favorite series is the Twilight series. Those are really good. You're right about the relationship--the romance does start too fast. But Twilight is her first book. Through the books she gets a lot better. Eclipse is really well written in my opinion. When I read all three Twilight annoyed me like hell; New Moon was okay, and I loved Eclipse. It went at the rigth pace.
I also liked Cirque du Freak when I read it. But I read it in seventh grade, so I don't know if you'll still like it. It also deals with vampires-but these are different than the Twilight and Vampire Knight vampires. It's about a boy who turns into a vampire. He's pretty young and goes through a lot of thigns that normal vampires his age don't do. And he turns out to be very important. I know it's a crappy summary, but I'm in a rush.
I love Vampire Diaries. It had four books. It's really good. I LOVE STEPHAN AND DAMON! Vampire Diaries is about a girl named Elena who gets everything she wants. A new boy comes named Stephan and she wants him. He tries to avoid her at all costs because she reminds him of someone he loved back then before he turned into a vampire. Eventually they fall in love and she discovers his secret. Then his brother, Damon comes in. He too, falls in love with Elena (he was also in love with the girl from the past). Damon and Stephan hate eachother. The who series is sort of about how they have to work together to defeat this greater evil. And Elena has to choose between them...
Hmm...a non-vampire story...
The Guardians of Time is a pretty original trilogy. The idea was really good. The style wasn't though. It went too fast and just annoyed me. But it's interesting.
Maximun Ride is really interesting too. I love it. It's about six kids that are 2% bird because of this expiriment. They have to escape from the scientists that want to do tests on them. The style is absolutely horrible. That's a really bad part of it. Eventually it's bearable. But in the beginning, it goes super fast. It automatically jumps into the story and the characters are a bit flat. Too much info too. It looks like something I could've written. My writing is still eh. But the storyline is exciting. It really depends on the person reading. You seem to like harder books. So I don't know if you'll like these.
OH! PENDRAGON IS AWSOME! I really love it. The style is good. It's descriptive and I love the idea. You should definitly read it.
Hmm...Anything else? Of course! But I'm in a rush and I think thise went longer than I expected. So yeah...I'll talk about more books next time. -.-'
Opps...umm...Tithe was okay. I mean I liked it a lot. But it's not one of my favorites to be frank...
I actually don't like classics very much. They're interesting...but I always have to force myself to keep reading. So I haven't really been able to read them... I hope I can get through Jane Eyre, The Phantom of the Opera, and Wuthering Heights though...hopefully I can read harder books soon...
Yeah...I won't comment on Vampire Knight.
Well I'm trying to get the Fairy club to actually discuss more. I have a Discussions section. I just haven't had time to update it. Heck...if that's what the club turns out to be I'll get sick of it extremely fast...
Must go. This has taken me much longer than usual because of the books. Adios!
