I was keeping a book journal thing, but then I stopped because I felt guilty about how many books I was reading at once. How do you do yours? Mine was a column for what I started, what I finished and what I wanted to read, and those were divided into title and author.
Read All Of:
Just As Long As We're Together by Judy Blume
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume

@Gollum
Thanks for the inspiration! I am going to start a book journal.
What I am reading now:
-Le Miserables (Abridged version. Obviously. I don't think I could handle a huge seven-book series right now. Life is busy.)
-King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green (comatose)
-Little House on the Prairie (comatose)
-Peace Child by Don Richardson (Actually, I haven't started it yet, but will today. It's an adult novel, "An unforgettable Story of Primative Jungle Treachery in the 20th Century." I am neither confirming nor denying that it is interesting in the least.)

Ok, so I am not reading Peace Child. I actually looked into it, and turns out it is a book detailing some true story of an Indonesin caniballistic (Did I even spell that right?) war tribe and whatnot. I read the first page, and it bored me to death. So, goodbye, hopes and dreams of that book. :)

After I finished My Sister's Keeper, I read
"Who Could That Be at This Hour?" by Lemony Snicket
and Project 17 by Laurie Faria Stolarz. I was a little apprehensive to read Project 17 because I heard it was scary. I just finished it, and although it was super duper good, it wasn't that scary. The only point in it I was actually scared was because it was 10 at night and I was reading it after the kids I was babysitting fell asleep. This is coming from the girl who cried at the sight of the Haunted Mansion at age 13.
Now I'm reading Chomp by Carl Hiaasen.
@Theo W.
It was super good. Steampunk-y in a quirky way. I actually got it at the International Spy Museum on a trip to DC so I was super excited to read it.:)
@Gollum
My grandparents got it for me, I think from a museum gift shop. Each page has room for the title, author, genre, date of publication, and stuff like that and then room for notes. I always use the notes part to write the first sentence and good quotes I found in the book. In the back, you can list all the books alphabetically and write down all the books you lent out or want to read.

I have Chomp. Is it good? I like Scat.

It was good, but a lot more wacky than his other ones. My favorite is Flush.

Finished reading Everneath. Now rereading Dancing Shoes by Noel Streatfeild.
(June 17, 2013 - 6:32 pm)
@Melody- Is Dancing Shoes written by the same person as Ballet Shoes?
I read City of Glass and I'm almost done with I Am Number Four, which I think is okay so far but not as good as I though it would be...
