Rob Thurman's new book- Chimera (loved it)  All his books make me think of Supernatural.  Its brothers going out for one another.  They take Family is Everything to a whole new level.  Love it.

Ellen Hopkins books. I've read Impulse (about 3 teenagers who attempted suicide and are staying in the same mental hospital), Crank/Glass (Fallout is coming in the fall, this series is amazing), and I'm currently reading Burned, which is about a Mormon girl who gets sent to live with her aunt, because she was dealing with alcohol and boys at school which is against her religion.

(LOL.  I don't remember saying I would put anything up that fine ass.  Or near it.  LOL)

Loved Watership Down.  Accidently threw the book in the trash at school.  Was on my lunch tray and I was running late for class.  I was so close to the end of that book to. 

Another kids (more girl classic) was Are You There God? Its Ne Margaret.  That book had almost every girl doing the boob excercise and mantra "We must, We must, We must increase our bust."   Oh and the Babysitters Club series.  lol

Yeah sinnnn, it's the same. The producers have asked for many years to get the permission to make it. The book is great!
