SLKDJSLKDJS EXCITEMENT.

Okay, so seriously guys, I have freakin' found my favorite author. I just finished the sequel to Airborn, Skybreaker by Kenneth Oppel. I love this book series so much, because it's like, ALWAYS interesting to me at every point, but there is a certain point I hit in each book that I just CANNOT PUT IT DOWN. I spend the whole night just reading til I get to the end, lol, no matter what I'm doing. Even if I'm talking to other people at the same time, haha.

Well anyway, I finished Skybreaker and loved it, of course. So I'm just trolling around Oppel's website and I see under his author info that he is working on a THIRD BOOK IN THE SERIES RIGHT NOW. OMGG. I was just sitting here wondering what a second sequel could be about if he ever decided to write it, and he isssss! *bubbles with excitement*

While I wait on that book, I plan to check out some of his other books. XD I highly recommend him to like, everyone, because his stuff is awesome. I never thought I'd like a book series written in first person this much, but damnnnn~.

[ EDIT: I was so excited that I didn't even dig deeper before I posted, lol. In the FAQ, he says it's done and it's coming out in DECEMBER here (Although September in Canada, lol, keep your mockery to yourself)! (: It's called Starclimber. X3 Bwaaah~. ]

Here's a new list, lol. Books I tried to give an honest chance to but gave up on due to crappiness.

Lame Books:
Stuck in the 70's by D.L. Garfinkle. I can juuuust tolerate books written from a high school point of view if the character in question is a nerd, or an outcast, or simply somebody who can UNDERSTAND that highschool is not the end all, be all of existence. While this book SORT OF had a character like that (although he was always like "OMG LOL PRETTY GIRL, I HAS A PENIS"), it switched points of view to the girl too often, and she was just a complete evil bitch bimbo. I gave up after about five short chapters, because I didn't see the point in reading about a character that made me want to headdesk so bad, "good" endings be damned.
