Oh, and I read a really fun one a while back called, Audry, Wait! by Robin Bennway. If you love music you'll have fun with this book.

*gasp* I know this is an old post but I just HAVE to reply on this! I had borrowed this book from the library not so long ago but it's a Dutch translation and I didn't expect I'd find this book mentioned here! (Even though it's original in English lol) But I totally loved this book! :) The main person in this story is hilarious.
I don't read much (books, that is) but sometimes I feel like going to the library and see what they have. :) I also loveloveloveLO VE the Twilight saga! I have Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. They're all in Dutch, so I'm still waiting for Breaking Dawn to be finally translated and published here. But it's taking too damn long! Argh!
I love the Harry Potter books but I honestly can't remember what happened in the 6th and 7th book lol. When I saw the 6th movie, I remembered hehe.
Anyway, I love romantic stories but also scary or supernatural stories. At the moment I am reading the book Nick's mother wrote about him lol. I am totally on a BSB collecting hunt so I already read the official book by Rob McGibbon. I started reading Backstreet Mom by AJ's mother but since that one is in English and the official book and the book about Nick are in Dutch, I decided to finish those first. I keep on forgetting to continue reading the book about Nick. Even though they're biographies (or something), they are still quite inspiring. It's fun to read about how their lives turned upside down. :)
There is one author I'd recommend but it's useless because she only writes Dutch books. Her books are all about problems teenagers have to cope with (loverboys, eating disorders, someone committing suicide because he's being bullied at school etc. etc.) They are soooo good! It's especially interesting for me as a 17 year old. :) There are movies of 3 or 4 of her books and they are really good too. I just wished her books would be translated into English and other languages as well so other people can enjoy her stories. *sigh*
I get my inspiration from movies, books, commercials, my experiences, my friends' or family's experiences, songs, quotes... A LOT.

I finished reading "Dear John" (Nicholas Sparks) this week, and... ugh! I didn't like it. The male lead, who narrates the story, was a good character, but the girl... talk about a Mary Sue! I went through a brief Nicholas Sparks phase after "The Notebook" came out, but I have since given up on him, after realizing that all of his books are essentially the same, and all of his female characters are too-perfect, Southern belle Mary Sues. The only exception is "The Guardian," which is really an awesome book. The rest... blah. At least I know not to bother with the movie now.
mare:
I finally finished Goblet of Fire. You were right Julie, after the beginning, it got really interesting and this one was chock full of information. I have the Order of the Pheonix and will probably start it after i'm done with Catching Fire.
I also finished Duma Key by SK and I have to say it was well...dumbaa LOL but hey, they can't all be great.
honey:
The Hunger Games = My new favorite book ever. I just finished it and am literally frothing at the mouth to get my hands on Catching Fire. I'll most likely have it read by the end fo the week and will join the rest of the world in waiting impatiently for book number three. Seriously, in the most surprising way, this book just blew me away. Page after page after gory, brutal, amazing page. LOVE.
mare:
^ It was awesome. I read half of Catching Fire in one sitting. I hope we don't have to wait too long for the third one.
