This is kind of late, and you probably won’t remember this, but…

Ah, The God Delusion is my next book after Sabriel. (Like, officially - it’s on my desk and everything =D.) Haven’t heard about the others, but they seem an interesting read, I’ll look into some. Are you interested in Course 8? (I forgot =P.)

Hey Miri :D
That’s a pretty lengthy list. Looks like a lot of good books though. What were your opinions on the finished ones? Because if you totally loved them or have any others to suggest, I’m looking to add some books to my summer reading list :)
By, the way, I saw your AP scores post and I wanted to congratulate you! Those were really great scores! The goodness of them outshines the 2 by far. And seriously, you taking all those APs is just astounding to me. I took two this year and I felt overwhelmed! So, taking that many makes that 2 even more insignificant - really.
Now, I’m anxious about my scores. Before I read your post, I had completely forgotten about my AP scores, to be honest XD I took Bio and U.S. History. I’ll let you know when I get a 1 in Bio and you can rub it in my face how you got a 4 hehe.
