I don't have anything to read. Luckily the book fair starts tomorrow. Any suggestions on what books I should get?

Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld.

I finished Behemoth, read all of Ranma 1/2, which lead me to the conclusion that I don't like manga and I finished Eleanor and Park, which was quite fantastic.  I'll either start Fangirl or Trinkets today.

By the way, I'll probably be on a lot less than I was before, because middle school.

For you... I'd suggest The Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls by Julie Schumacher.  If you don't mind abundant references to the Beatles, The Lonely Hearts Cub by Elizabeth Eulberg is pretty good too.  And if you can't find either of those at the book fair, Phoebe Stone's a good author that I've seen at multiple book fairs.

Finished the Queen Victoria book.  Now reading Teen Idol by Meg Cabot for the second time in my life because I saw it at the Flea Market in Wisconsin, thought it was All-American Girl, and was like I want my own copy! (I read a library copy originally)  When I realized Teen Idol had a drastically different plot, I was still happy because even though it wasn't my favorite Meg Cabot book, it's a good one.

Ok the book fair doesn't have any good books.

Currently Reading: City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments Book 1)

When I went to Barnes & Noble to buy City of Bones it was on the same table as Will Grayson Will Grayson and Looking for Alaska and I really wanted to buy all three of them but I only had $15.

So I've finally read Heroes of Oylmpus: The Lost Hero. It was good but I bet it would be SO much better in English. I read and finished The Survival Kit yesterday. I usually don't read book genres like that but it was pretty good. Before that I finished a German book called Schmetterling aus Staub (eng. Butterfly of Dust?). I have two book from the library that I have to finish but I don't know their names! 

I got a bunch of English books! Yay! Can't wait to read Pretties!

...Finished Looking for Alaska at three thirty this morning. POOR DECISION. But it was so awesome and made me cry.

Currently book-searching.
