I’d like to pick up with reading again, last time I properly read anything was during autumn. My own favorite books I can remember for now are: The Hobbit - There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien, Sinuhe Egyptian - Mika Waltari, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More - Roald Dahl and Harry Potter series.  I know I should get on with reading ASOIAF but ughh I think I need the finnish translations :C I should also re-read the Astrid Lindgren books, I don’t remember about how the writing was, I just remember the stories but not details.

  5. laurenchaikin answered: If you’re willing to read books “for kids”, i.e. 12-year-olds, that’re still smart/well-written, try Gail Carson Levine, esp. Ella Enchanted.
