What was the last book you read?
The last book I've read was Skinned by Robin Wasserman. It was ok. The concept was good but the characters are annoying.

um...oh I finish Frostbite yesterday. It's really good, although I can't remember the author at this moment. It's about Vampires and half
vampires.

Did Wasserman also write the Seven Deadly Sins series? (Glutony etc etc?) |
Yup she did. I haven't read those books though.

I picked Artemis Fowl up a few times and then put it back on the shelf. I dont know, the cover art isnt that inspiring. And I know you should never
judge a book by its cover, but I always totally do.
Maybe I should give it a chance?

maybe it was because it's more for kids than for big kids at heart heh it doesn't have any romance in it too, that always inspires us girls to read a
certain book.

You should! I know what you mean about the covers...well that is if you're talking about the new ones. The new ones have illustrations on them and I
don't really like them but I initially read the first few with the original covers so I got into it well enough to ignore the terrible recent covers
The story is very good and if you've enjoyed any of the Sherlock Holmes novels and short stories you might like it - not that Artemis Fowl is a
detective but he's based on Sherlock Holmes genius.
Evy, it does have a little bit of romance in it but little, the plot is not really based on it and it is actually categorized in the YA
fiction at my library, surprisingly.

Oh yeah i know it's ya, but it's more of like the younger side of ya (if that makes sense) In the first book Artemis was like 12 right? I can't
remember I read it a loooong time ago.
I was also talking about the first book, I don't remember any romance in it. But my memory sucks, so don't mind me. lol

Yep he was 12 in the first.
Oh right..yeah, there was absolutely no romance in the first few books. Eoin Colfer took another 4 books until he realised that it was an important
element as any lol it's still pretty faint though. The main appeal in Artemis Fowl to me is the wit and he gets to be quite an interesting character.
He's 15 or 16 now I think in most recent books.

lol me too! Have you read Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen?
Here's the blurb:
The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. She
says: "My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss." He says: "It's been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort." But in the
eighth grade everything gets turned upside down. And just as he's thinking there's more to her than meets the eye, she's thinking that he's not quite
all he seemed.
This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny new voices. Wendelin Van Draanen is at her best here with
a knockout cast of quirky characters and a hilarious series of misunderstandings and missed opportunities. But underlying the humor are two teens in
transition. They are each learning to look beyond the surface of people, both figuring out who they are, who they want to be, and who they want to be
with.
Or perhaps Beauty: A Retelling of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley? This is THE retelling of Beauty and the Beast btw.
Here's the blurb:
Beauty has never liked her nickname. She is thin and awkward; it is her two sisters who are beautiful. But what she lacks in looks she can perhaps
make up for in courage.
When her father comes home with the tale of an enchanted castle in the forest and the terrible promise he had to make to the Beast who lives there,
Beauty declares she must go to the castle, a prisoner of her own free will.
