Re: Any good books?
yes yes yes!!!
You absolutely must read 'Confessions of an ugly stepsister' by Gregory Maguire! It was recommended to me on here and I couldn't put it down. You know when you are reading a book that you are really getting into and then you realise how fast you are reading through it so you try and read it as slowly as possible to make it last...well, its one of those!
Very imaginative and a lovely story.

Re: Any good books?
One more little edition to these great lists of recs: A fabulous YA book I've been reading about ghosts --
A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb. It's a love story, quite lyrically written that reads quite quickly.

Oh also...I seriously recommend, Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah...a real tear jerker and a true story.
