• The Graveyard Book

JUST finished it earlier today :) i lovee neil gaiman! this was such a good read and i wanted to learn bod's real name, more about the honor guard, and esp. silas! i'm hoping he writes a sequel so i can see bod as a grown up in the real world... i was hoping that scarlett would like him but i guess it's for the best. hopefully he'll fall in love hehe.

• 253: The Print Remix

really great. i love the format. definitely awesome

• The Girl who Played Go

{sooo goood! what a great read! Sa Shan was not only economic with her words but every single one of them was well used and so imagninative! even though it was over 300 pages long.. it was a fast read! probably because of the 2-3 page long chapters. i loveed it! and it was originally in french so the translator, adrianna hunter, did a great job! i was soo impressed! i need to read more from this author! ahh! hehe}

• American Gods: A Novel

really great. i love shadow. though i felt like it needed something, maybe i should read the other stories first.

• The Good Neighbors
• Persepolis

{really good. i'm kicking myself a bit for not reading it sooner... i managed to watch the movie this fall semester in Cinemateque because of a review I read in the star-ledger and it was great. sadly, i couldn't find the sequel, but hopefully i'll find it when i go back... luckily they it in the library :) yayyy}

• Sand Chronicles Volume I

{i really liked it. good shojo. i hate how it spilled the ending on the back though, but oh well. that's another thing i hate about reading reviews on amazon.. they usually give away big parts of the books i was trying to read about. ugh. oh well. i'll still read it}

• Princess Ai 3: Evolution

{I already read the entire trilogy and i ACCIDENTALLY took out the last volume instead of the 2nd for my sister :( it bites but oh well. at least i got the first though :)}

• Princess Ai I: Destitution

{read it. really good. i liked it. i should finish readingand watching the manga videos. and i really want to watch the music videos.. and i can't wait for the movie! i want to read the rest of the stuff on this franchise... i hope it's not becoming overly commercialized :/}

• Avignon
• Sand Chronicles Volume II
• Sand Chronicles Volume III

{since i already commented on the first one, i'll just say that these two were really good as well, i wanted to read the next one! maybe they'll have it online hehe}
