alright, that's the list so far.  after going through the whole thing, i realize how many books i'm missing...like a few harry potters and chronicles of narnia.  and classics like stuart little.  and all the roald dahl books i read like matilda, the bfg, james and the giant peach, and the witches!!!  plus all the goosebumps books i was obsessed with as a kid.  i started this book journal way too late in life apparently.  oh, well, i'll be vigilant about writing them down from now on. 

if you see a book that sounds interesting or you want a detailed review of what i thought of it, just leave me a comment with the title of the book and i'll get back to you asap.

i had the visual bookshelf application, but it would always erase some books or not upload some pictures, so i exchanged it for the iRead one instead. and p.s. you lent me high fidelity and i gave it back to you so dog-eared...do you remember? i felt so bad!!!
