Have you ever read the Charlie Bone Series.

I read Coraline and thought it was absolutely wonderful, and the movie, I'm sorry, but it was not what I expected. Very Different!

I think that Eternal by Cynthia Leitich Smith should be made into a movie because it is so amazing and I loved it. All Twilight fans should read this.

My favorite movie is twilight. I watched the movie but never read the book. My mom said i can read it, in about 2 years. lol. My mom said the book is totally better than the movie. I kept on asking my mom questions about the movie like about every 5 minutes. LOL

Harry Potter is the best series of books on the face of this Earth! I don't care what other people say about it. That's their opinion. But one thing I know is: Harry Potter will always have a place in my heart.
<3 Harry Potter
