Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson

Tyler Miller used to be just an average person, but ever since he got busted for spray painting the school, everyone knows his name. He has an overwhelming crush on Bethany Milbury, one of the most popular girls in school, who also happens to be a)the sister of his worst enemy and b)the daughter of his father's boss. Because of his mandatory hard labor over the summer, he starts to get attention from her. They start to talk and hangout and it all goes on from there...
i really liked this book... 5 stars! i have loved all of the books that i have read by Laurie Halse Anderson and i plan on reading all of her other books. i would definitely recommend this book :)

it's been a while...

i know it's been a while since i've done a review. i've been so crazy with school and such that i've had no time. the books are piling up to be reviewed, so you can expect at least 2 or 3 by tomorrow. (if i get all of my homework done in a timely fashion today, i'll have a few up tonight) :]

cool website

hey!
i just found this website: http://www.banned-books.com/ and i thought it was really interesting in case anyone was wondering abotu some of the books/authors that are banned and challenged/controversial. and since tomorrow's the last day of banned books week, i thought i'd post this! :]

it's the Tuesday of banned book week! w00

and i have a poll for you... i'm just curious...
so if you wish, either leave a comment here or e-mail me at thefoxreads@yahoo.com with your answers :]

1)How many banned books have you read over the course of your lifetime?
2)What are your views on banning books?
3)Have you or has anyone you know ever tried to have a book banned? if so, why/what book?
4)People often say that banning certain types of books is ok, but only if they're really bad (like how to build a bomb and kill your neighbors, etc. lol). do you agree or disagree with this and why?
and...
5)have you done anything to participate in banned book week? what?

so yeah. thanks :]
happy reading!<3

Support Stephenie Meyer!

hey everyone,
well i have started a petition in order to gather Stephenie Meyer supporters! as a result of the recent Midnight Sun leak, we must come together as Twilighters and show our support for Stephenie! We love her so much and without her, there would be no Edward Cullen *gasp* and that wouldn't be cool. maybe we can even get some recognition and have Stephenie see it and know that we all love and support her! so sign the petition and spread the word! We <3 Stephenie!

the petition can be found at:
