so i've been reading books from my 15-year-old niece's bookshelf lately. recently i've read impulse and just finished tonight twilight. i'm enjoying being 'book buddies' with my niece and talking about the books afterwards. of course now that twilight is a movie, i should probably go catch it at the theaters and see the differences. but it was a pretty fun read. on to the next of my niece's books, it's kind of a funny story. her bookshelf tends to be full of very dramatic teenage stories dealing with very hard core issues like suicide and traumatic love and horrible lives that need help from institutions and such. you know, normal teenage angst from the '00s. on to the next one...
