It's an Alt code. Hold down "Alt" and press ­0229 on the number pad, then release. At least for lowercase, that is. For uppercase, the code is 0197. If you're on a laptop, like me, you might have to hold down Function or something to get to the keypad.

Recently I've read Genuis Squad, by Catherine Jinks, and cathching Fire of the Hunger Games triology. I'm almost to my goal of 100 books since September 2012!

Now I'm reading Kissing Shakespeare by Pamela Mingle.  Another book I bought because it sounded good and was on sale for Kindle.

I was reading Wurthering Heights but I got  City of Bones from the library and just had to read it. So Wurthering Heights is sort of on hold at the moment. :)

City of Bones is really good, isn't it?

I AM IN NON RECOGNIZED LITERARY ENJOYMENT PAIN.

In other words I'm really mad at the American Library Association for giving John Green the 2013 Printz Award for The Fault in Our Stars.  Like really mad, like, crying mad. 

I'm going to go cry in a hole until 2015, when I'm assuming John Green's NEXT book will be a contender for the Printz.  Unless he decides to write Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix only filled with AWESOME.  Then we'd end up waiting about 6-7 years.

I love Wuthering Heights! Have you read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte? I believe that the two authors are sisters.

@Gollum- City of Bones is pretty good, I think. Although I think it's sort of predictable... By the way, was The Fault in our Stars (or however it's called) a bad book or something?

I meant that it's the best book ever and they didn't give it to him.  Worst typo ever.

It is the best book ever.  No apologies necessary.

I started listening to the Heist Society on audio book.
