Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog... - John Grogan
Even tough I had this book for over a year and a half now, I just felt interested about reading it after I watched the movie.
But, not being a big fan of non-fiction books, I prefer the movie. It IS a good book, it also made me cry - But the warmness you feel in the movie is much bigger than the one in the book.

Secret Society Girl: An Ivy League Novel (Ivy League Novels)... - Diana Peterfreund
It is a really easy book to be read quickly, whenever you want to read something but just isn't patient enough to go with some Russian Literature. It definately can be fun, but it's not one of the bests.
And I need to get over all these teen literature. Guilty Pleasure.

Isis's rating:
The Water Horse - Dick King-Smith
An enfants book, really, really easy to read and extremely juvenile. I just can't believe the movie adaption got so much better than the book. Read in less than an hour.
Cordilheira - Daniel Galera
Not Galera's best book, but it is kinda interesnting. I'm still thinking he's one of the best newest writes in Brazil.
Isis's rating:
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - John Boyne
A cute and really, really sad little story about WW2 in Germany. It's nothing fancy, but it's definatey a good story to be quickly read, being worth your time.
Isis's rating:
Eclipse (Twilight Saga, Book 3) - Stephenie Meyer
It's almost fun - But Meyer always need to fuck it up with the cheesy teen romance. SERIOUSLY, STOP IT!
But I really like thw wolfs, so, okay.

Unforgettable (It Girl Novels (Paperback)) - Cecily Von Ziegesar
Whatever, it's only a guilty pleasure. Nothing big, nothing really good.
Isis's rating:
PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives... - Frank Warren
It's PostSecret, bitch!
Isis's rating:
Rota 66 - Caco Barcellos
It is a GREAT work of investigation journalism! Full of details, it almost sound like a fiction sometimes. I'm still not sure if everything Caco said was true, but, honestly, it is really, reallt good. A bit freaking, also. Kinda trash. But good.
Isis's rating:
Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic Series)... - Sophie Kinsella
It's okay. A guilty pleasure I wanted to have but got a little disappointed with.
Isis's rating:
Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince - J.K. Rowling
Read it again for the movie. Worst thing I could've done. AWESOME book, TERRIBLE movie.
The Time Paradox (Artemis Fowl, Book 6) - Eoin Colfer
I don't know. I really used to enjoy Artemis Fowl, but now it's been bugging me for a while. Guess I'm tired of it.
Isis's rating:
Breaking Dawn - Stephenie Meyer
I finally ended this damn Twilight Series and now I can go back to good books. This one SUCKS. I laughed at it because of how bad it is.
Isis's rating:
Blindness - Jose Saramago
Started reading it for college. Even tough it is a little weird at the beginning, I liked it a lot.
Isis's rating:
Am I the only one that cannot see the fiction in this book? It's a harsh book. Very, very strong, very hard to read. A really god and extremely sad book. I'm not so sure that I did want to read it.
Isis's rating:
A paixao segundo G.H - Clarice Lispector
Okay, so I spent so much time reading it, soooo much! I guess I jusr prefer phrases from Clarice better than her entire books.
Isis's rating:
Inkheart(Paperback) (Inkheart Trilogy) - Cornelia Funke
Childish. I wish it was more like the movie. And I know how weird this sounds.
Isis's rating:
PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God... - Frank Warren
It's PostSecret! What's there to NOT love? But my favorite still is A Lifetime of Secrets.
Isis's rating:
The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) ... - Rick Riordan
Problaby the best teenage series I've read since Happy Potter. And, believe me, for an alucinated HP fan like me, this is HUGE. I really, really enjoy this serie. It's fun, there's real adventure, it's not hard to read but not extremely easy.
Isis's rating:
This far, it was the book from Percy Jackson that I didn't like this much. Even tough it's filled up with adventure from the start to the end, I don't know... Something about this one doesn't excite me that much. Still, good reading.
Isis's rating:
The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #3) ... - Rick Riordan
oooh, I love this one! Maybe because this is the one in which everything changes, or because the characters are growing up and I prefer them like this. I don't know. It's really good.
Isis's rating:
The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
It's an okay book. I really enjoyed reading it, and I'm glad I watched the movie before I read it. Both are good, but extremely different. The stories are the same, but everything's a little changed. A pretty good book to read when you want something light, well written, with deep characters and some sort of action. And, oh, a girly romance. Yeah, that's it! (But no way in hell Clare is a redhead! Rachel Mcadams isn't!)
