    My favorite book? Hmm... Dont think I could just pick one! There are so many good ones. But recently I have been obsessed with Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley, so I'm going to go with that!

    My favorite book... Hmm... It's difficult to pick just one, but I think I'm going to go with Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. Simply because it's got such a wonderful message, and deals with school violence and bullying, which really needs to be addressed.

    I read so much that i dont even have a favorite book! haha. I can tell you books that i've really enjoyed though. I absolutely LOVED Haven (of course lol) i think they should make a movie of it. (I'd be awesome if i was cast in it...) I also liked Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys by Kate Brian. That booked rocked as well.

    My favorite so far is "Shadow Hills" by Anastasia Hopcus. I think her book has been highly looked over, and more people should read it.

    My favorite book ... Well , that's an unfair question . ;)
    But if I had to choose one ... It'd probably be a tie between HAVEN and Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell .
