all these books look gr8, and i LOVE to read! I love scary stories, but i never have time to read. i'm really busy w/ school and i have cross country in fall for the fist 2 months or so. But i just ended last week.Frown do u know when i could squeeze in some reading time b/c i really wish i could read more. I have dance on Wednesdays and thursdays after school, and other school activites in the mornings on 2 days. any ideas when i could read?

 

Hey! If your schedule's jam packed, read in the car or bus or subway on your way to and from your activities. Your commute may not be very long, but even 10-20 minutes quality time with your books adds up, and you'll blow through them before you know it Smile

I read the graveyard book, it's my fave book ever! There are no vampires or mummies in it though. But there are witches, goblins, werewolves, and a murderer !
