THe Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams

Rating: 10/10

Review: Woah! This was amazing! Yes it is in play form, but even though it isn't a real book, its very good and sad. Many books have happy ending and blah, but ---- I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL IT!!! Sorry abotu that, its a very good book, don't be pushed away from it because its in play form.

The City of Ember/The People of Sparks by Jeanne DuPrau

Rating: 7.5/10

Review: This is a series and both books were lovely. But in some parts it was kind of shady. Not knowing what some of it was I had to re-read some parts which was fustering. Althoguh once you understood you continued to read the book in awe and wonder, you couldn't wait to see what happened next. I tried reading the last book, which isn't listed above, but it was pretty boring too me, so I didn't finish it. But, in my opinion if you just read the first two books, I believe its enough closure to the ending of the sotry but be my guest to finish the entire series.

Howls Moving Castle Series by Dianna Wynne Jones (Sequel: Castle in the Air.)

Rating: 9/10

Review: Wow, this very short series was amazing. I have seen the cartoon movie many, many times and fell in love with it. When I found this book I was astonished, I couldn't wait to read it. Upon reading it many things were changed of course, but that didn't keep my heart from leaping across the page! Even when things were added that I didn't expect to happen made me pleasantly surprised! even if I never saw the movie and just read the book, my feeling's would of been the same, or maybe disapointed if I read the book first, because they left out things that were so fantastic in the book.
A fantasy book about a girl's journey through all kinds of adventures with magical being's.

even thoguh the sequel is basically a different story completely, its a still must read. It does have a small reference of the characters from the first book at the end. Kind of like a few years later showing where they are now.

Jane Erye by Charlotte Bronte

Rating: 7/10

Review: It was quite slow in the begining and in other parts, where I stopped reading and then picked it up again in a few weeks or so. Although this book was heart warming and it had so many twists and turns that were never expected! This book ended so strongly that I would read it again! If you can get through the slow parts, you will be keeping this in a glass case.
About a young orphan and her adventures through life.
