I've read a few this year. I think my first one was, um, Odd Thomas. Another Koontz book.

Either The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom or Blink by Malcom Gladwell. I'm inclined to say the latter but I don't remember when I started reading it. Oh well.

I loved Looking For Alaska! So good.

My first book was The Color of Water by James McBride. It was fantastic. I read it for a class and he would give us like two weeks to read nine chapters and I would read the nine chapters in one day and want to read more. Definitly a page turner, very fast read if you don't have my teacher, haha.

Pretty old book, but I thought I should read it since his other book was so good.

The only books I read in January were textbooks, so I guess those don't count.. I'm starting on I Am America (And So Can You!) by Steven Colbert. I wonder what my teacher's gonna think when I write my report on it. Hmmm..
