So far my favorite book is The Magician's Nephew. The description of Charn is incredible, and the Wood Between the Worlds is so peaceful, I love it.
I've also read the Alex Rider novels Stormbreaker through to Snakehead and all three of The Giver books.

I started it thinking it was going to be a pretty fluffly book, but it was so much more. The characters were strong, the emotion raw, and the writing beautiful. For a lot of it, you could forget it was told in a letter. It was such a great technique, though, because the author brings it back at just the right moment, as a reminder that the only reason the main character is disclosing certain information is because of the letter. So, yeah, it's a book I'd definitely recommend.
...I get a little too excited about books.
Also, has anyone read Uglies? I started it, but couldn't get a feel for the characters (and the dialogue was annoying me...) and decided to return it to the library without finishing it. Any reason I should keep reading?
