    I can't decide which one to start - The Perks of Being a Wallflower or The Runaway, both are supposed to be really good so I'm torn. (I know I can read both but I don't know which I should start with...)
    Read 'Perks of being a Wallflower' first- I absolutely loved it I'm reading One Day by Nicholls at the moment...pretty good so far

    Ooh, that's good - I think it's next on my list of books to get! Unfortunately it won't be for a while, I've spent SO much on books in the past few days.

    I just finished "Watchmen" today, which is amazing. I'm not sure what I'm going to tackle next - I think I might read "Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders" by Neil Gaiman as I recommended "American Gods" to my boyfriend, and his discussing it is putting me in the mood for some of Gaiman's beautifully crafted fiction.

    Currently reading 'Game of Thrones' by George R. R. Martin. I'm not a massive fan of politics but the way this book is written it has just sucked me in, I've read about 300 pages in 3 days!

    Also considering starting Girl who kicked the hornets nest to counter-balance the epic fantasy of Game of Thrones...

    I read the books, which are awesome, but a TV series of them is also airing which is really good

    I'm planning to hunt it down online and watch it The book definately doesn't soften the edges! The first hundred pages has a poor little girl being coerced by her brother and a young boy nearly murdered!

    Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit - Jeanette Winterson.
    Written in 1985, pretty ahead of its time, about an adopted daughter in a really Christian family who wants to be a missionary when she grows up but realises she is a lesbian :O

    The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold, for my English exam on Monday :afraid:

    Still, could be a worse book.

    I'm reading The Lovely Bones too, although not for an exam just for pleasure
    Hope your exam goes well, I'm enjoying it so far.

    I've just finished American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and that was amazing. I'm now onto The Catcher In The RYe by JD Salinger, I've read the first two chapters and I'm not too impressed so far but we'll have to see.
