thats so funny you say that about shannon hale because i just took princess academy out from the library! i havent read it yet, im a little scared its gonna be to young for me by the cover haha. also you should get a goodreads i mean i have read that much the past few months because ive been busy with school but it really helps you get more interested in reading more! i find a lot of books through it that id like and also when someone tells me about a book i add it to my to-read then i just look at my to-read before i go to the library and if i dont find anything by just scanning the shelves, i have a whole list of books i can look up!
