i'd really like to hear about any random good books you've read and liked a lot or even a little.
i just got finished reading this book called zazoo by richard mosher
it's about this girl who's Vietnamese but lives in France with her adopted grandfather. when this boy she meets this boy she starts to learn tons of stuff about her past.
it's more interesting when you read the book and way more interesting how the author sums it up but i didn't wanna copy though i think i did do that somewhere else on this forum. anyways it's a really good book (though it has nothing to do with horses and doesn't center around animals at all) and if your looking for something different to read you might wanna check it out. i really enjoyed it.

i think i have seen a poster for that in the library. it sounds familiar.
we had a big reading challenge at school
Jacoby's Game is a book about time and its functions and how a girl gets into a coma and learns about the things in her life that she never knew before, of guilt and misunderstanding.
Child X is a story of a girl auditioning for a part in the play of Nothern Lights and how the press catch up with her and her family situations involving the uncertainty of who her father is causes only Jules herself to not know who she is.
HeartBeat is a tale in poetry form of growing up and finding yourself in new situations. As the girl (Annie) learns while running an drawing decaying apples.
Al Capone Does my Shirts is the next book I get in the challenge. It is about the struggles of life in th 1930s, espeially for the families of autism sufferers, as the condition had not yet been identified.
How Embarassing! is the last one I will choose, a hilarious (apparently short story that is a lot less heavy and deep as the others, about the Out Factor- a competition where kids enter their parents for the award of the most embarassing ever!

I've read Child X too, its really good.
New books I've read lately:
The Harlequin by Laurell K. Hamilton - I read it about a week and a half ago and can barely remember what happend. Enough said!
No Humans Involved by Kelley Armstrong. The latest in her Women of the Otherworld series. Really good book, but you pretty much need to read the series for it to fully make sense. I love the series and this book is easily as good as the 6 before it.
Random books I've read and really enjoyed:
So Much To Tell You by John Marsden. I love this book but it really tugs at your heartstrings, it made me cry a couple of time while I was reading it. Its about a girl who has gone through a major trama at home thats left her scarred and silent. She hasn't said a word to anyone since it happened and she's become a very shy, shadow of her former self. She is sent to a new boarding school to try and get her to talk again. She starts to write in a journal for English class and thats how a lot of this story is told, through that journal. Very good story.

Harry Potter 7. But I'm waiting for Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer! Twilight and New Moon are awesome! The first book, I read in German but I bought the English copy of New Moon because I didn't want to waite until the German one. It was a bit difficult to read but I only needed 3 days. Only 9 days left!  |

I love Twilight and New Moon! Can't wait for the third! ^^ They're so addicting...
I like Ellen Feld's Morgan Horse Series books. I met her at Breyerfest this year and she was really nice. Her books are good too! I read Anne of Green Gables recently,too. A classic, and it was very good. I like historical fiction and mystery most of the time. I'm also hooked on Agatha Christie. Brilliant author.
I also heard of this series called Heartland...jk. xD

I've read Twilight but not New Moon yet. Its pretty good but New Moon isn't at the top of my books to buy now list, I find Bella a bit annoying. Still I'm curious to read New Moon.
I've been reading the Private series of books by Kate Brian and really enjoy them. There about this girl who basicaly has nothing and wants to escape her life and become someone. She wins a scholorship to this major private school and thinks all her troubles are behind her. She soon gets proved very wrong. These aren't the type of books I often read but I really like them. There's 4 out so far in the States with the 5th due out at the end of August, there's 2 out in the UK with the 3rd due out by the end of the year, I think, but don't quote me on that!!
I'm reading a book at the moment called 'The Nature of Jade' its about a girl who suffers from a panic disorder and how she hadles it and gets past it. I'm only about half way through but its fantastic!! I can really feel for this girl because I have an illness that if I'm not careful can control my life too. Very, very good book.

Okay,i once got asked
"Yooh have horses , so are You ritch and posh"
Well if i was ritch i wouldnt be doing my own mucking out.
And just because i have horses dosent mean im posh , it means im privileged to have them.
So as the advert saying goes Yooh dont have to be posh to be Privilaaged
