I just read whatever I want, when I want, because I mainly get my books from the library, where the supply never seems to run out... :D

Yeah, that's how I felt about The Gift and the Riddle!!!
But most of the books I've read are not...well, good enough for me too want my own copy, because I just read it once, know the story and not read it agin, coz i already know it...Apart from the gift and the riddle, and HP books.

I found The Naming sitting out on a table in the bookstore and I saw the title and thougth it sounded good and then I saw the cover, and I liked the cover, and I liked that it was a nice thick book. And then I thought that the synopsis sounded interesting. I read the beginning and liked it and wanted to read more but I wasn't exactly sure I wanted to buy it until I read the backflap with the bit about how Alison is a poet (which sounded hopeful because I figured that a poet would be able to write well) and then I got to the bit where Alison said that the story had been waiting to be written for many years and that's what clinched it for me. Thank goodness I bought it!

Well it was during the holidays and my twin sister went to the library. She loaned out serveral books. So, being bored myself, i took one of hers. One of them, in fact, was The GIFT. I was instantly hooked and totally went bonkers over Cadvan. I'm sure we all are. And of course, i hastily went out and bought the sequel. Let me tell you, i was in shock halfway in the Riddle! (you know why) But in the end, it all worked out well. :D :D :D :D :D :D
