That's really cool! I played it with a bat and whiffleball, and ten bases with a secret base xD 

(Oh and two more books that I'm reading right now: Through A Glass Grimly and Before I Fall. I recommend the first, but Before I Fall may/may not disturb some people... so yeah)

I finished The Fault in Our Stars a few days ago and now I'm reading The Night Strangers, which is hands-down one of the creepiest books I've ever read.

Currently Reading: Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. This is probably my third time reading it. It's a truly incredible book. [warning: it discusses quite a lot of mature content]

Just Finished: Room by Emma Donoghue. The book started out pretty creepy, but the ending was cute.

Well, if you're 13, it can't be TOO mature, can it?

Not "mature content" for people my age, mature content for younger readers. And it's pretty intense.

Have you read The Future of Us?  It's co written by Jay Asher, with Carolyn Mackler, and it's a book that I was kind of addicted to the first time I read it (well, listened to it on audiobook, really.)

Finished And Another Thing and Counting by Sevens, and started The Graveyard Book again and read all of The Rose and the Beast.

I loved The Future of Us, but I use Thirteen Reasons Why as a coaster because my copy got water damaged.

Just finished I Lived On Butterfly Hill by Marjorie Agosin. It was amazing and made me cry.

Now am reading The  Alchemyst by Michael Scott, though I've paused that to read If Only by Carole Geithner, because I was reading that on the way from the library, while I walked. And I really want to finish it now.
