I just wanted to say I LOVE THIS THREAD. Love it, love it, love it. I put most of your suggestions on my Nook wishlist.
I am currently reading the new Sophie Kinsella novel and it is laugh out loud funny....so similar to the Shopaholic books and really cute.
I read the Last Breath by Michael (something?) and it was good, but way drawn out. Like it could have been written in half the time, but the suspense was good.
I read the Hunger Games (and liked them in DESCENDING order btw) and took your suggestions to try the Long Walk, which I LOVED but the ending was AWFUL. A wonderful journey (maybe a little repetetive?) but an abrupt and unsatisfying end.
I had a bday last week and got a TON $$$$$$ barnes n noble gift cards and lots downloaded.....
