Do you recommend If I Stay?
Would it be worth buying it in hardback or should i wait for the paperback edition?

Okay, I'm back!
1) I would definitely reccomend If I Stay, but the paperback doesn't come out until next April and hardcovers are notably expensive--especially since
it's only 196 pages. Personally I'd reccomend seeing if you could check it out from a library or something.
2) The best book I've read this year has been Looking for Alaska by John Green.
3) Uh, I just read really fast. Thanks!
4) Updates:
~BLISS by Lauren Myracle*
~WUTHERING HIGH by Cara Lockwood*
~SPUD by John van de Ruit*
~BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S by Truman Capote*\

Yeh-has, all this, plus some books I forgot to put on there and other books I just read recently:
*ELSEWHERE by Gabrielle Zevin
*ALT ED by Catherine Atkins
*MEMOIRS OF A TEENAGE AMNESIAC by Gabrielle Zevin
*OUT OF THE POCKET by Bill Konigsberg
*I HADN'T MEANT TO TELL YOU THIS by Jacqueline Woodson
*LEAP DAY by Wendy Mass
*NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH (AND A FEW WHITE LIES) by Justina Chen Headley
*BECAUSE I AM FURNITURE by Thalia Chaltas
and ALMOST *SHIVER by Maggie Stiefvater. I was like sixty pages in before i had to give it back to the person who loaned it to me. 
So...my SHIVERless book count is:...
...drum roll, please...
a well-sized 167. Just 33 books to go. If I really read a lot, I can probably do it.  Probably not the right smiley, but whatever. I have a lot of books checked out right now, anyway. I'll try finishing three
books this week. (HAHALAUGH.) Good day to you all, and good luck on your contests, if you're doing one!
EDIT:
More books. Read AFTER recently, read the others previously and forgot to list.
*After by Amy Efaw
*How To Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier
*The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson
*Wide Awake by David Levithan
TOTAL: 171
EDIT:
I actually finished 3 books in the past few days. Whew!
From now on, by the way, I will be updating my list on the top, because I feel like it. Plus, it'll be easier...
