You should! They are easily on my top favorite books of all times, even the one I kinda disliked! I read until the fifth, and I'm planning on reading the sixth soon

I hope to read 20 books this year.

I'm like a reading addict I counted the amount of YA books I read this year and last year and turns out I read over 360 books! I'm not joking:-)

Best wishes on finding an editor and publisher, Nate. My sister, who is on GR and has written 5 books, self published.

Her book: Rebecca Phillips is doing extremely well, with both public and critical acclaim.

If you have any questions about anything to do with proof reading, editing, publishing, I will certainly ask her on your behalf.

Rebecca Boutilier Phillips...I'm so proud of my little sis.

...you're in this group too?

& Thanks for well wishes.

You sound disappointed, Nate. Jking.

Sure. All the best. And keep your eyes off my sister!! LOL

You play Lacrosse? That's awesome! Girls 'round here don't play.

@Nate haha it's not that popular here; it's more about hockey!

Canada?
I like hockey too, but I play more Lacrosse, its not very popular here either.

I'm going to finish translating Una Cosa Rara and publish it, then build up the courage to send a letter to the Metropolitan Opera Company and ask them to do a production.

And also get good grades in school :)

Hockey IS Canada's sport of choice. I play hockey, soccer-baseball, badminton, volleyball and envy those who ski down mountains.

@Emma

Good for you! Set your goals and see them to fruition.
(Keep up those good grades.):)
