I haven't read any of those others... LOL..<br />But the book that really impacted me, was Target by Kathleen Jeffrie Johnson. It was unlike anything that I had ever read before. Like... I used to read Artemis Fowl and Alex Rider very kid books, but after that one... It completely changed the styles and genre's I read. Now I read every/anything so long as the cover and blurb interest me. lol<br />But more than that, I like to read more and more books that have depth and can really make me cry. and FEEL for the character.<br /><br />JudiLoveless3173https://www.blogger.com/profile/15263485030540041798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343625925902939495.post-33553361608830870382012-10-30T14:41:26.396-07:002012-10-30T14:41:26.396-07:00Yep.
