I thought this would be cool. This way we can talk about what our favorite books are and then it could give others ideas of what else they want to put on their ever-growing books to read list....even if they are already extremely large.  ~Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie
~Halos by Kristen Heitzmann
~Twilight/New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
~Fruits Basket Series by Natsuki TakayaI'm a big anime freak. haha.

oh ya. I absolutely love The Theif Lord by Cornelia Funke. Ive read that 1 so many times. I like Slaughterhouse five when I read it too. Great. I saw the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's so the book is probably just as good.

The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom I got The Hiding Place as a high school graduation present (quite a few years ago now) and I never read it. Maybe I should give it a try. My absolute favorites: Pride and Prejudice A Farewell to Arms The Time Traveler's Wife Wuthering Heights Kite Runner Harry Potter Great Gatsby The End of the Affair |

Peter Pan is great. Even if Peter can get selfish, and that's because he's supposed to come off that way, I still love the story. Did you read that other author sequel?
