FOUR down, SIX to go!

I have now officially read FOUR books for the 10 in '10 Teen Chick Lit Challenge! And now, for the news:

This was one of the best books I have ever read.

Yeah. I said it.

The book is LOOKS by Madeleine George. I have no words to express how amazing I thought this book was. The characterization was intense. The prose was beautiful and evoked, with every phrase, exactly the imagery and emotions it was meant to evoke. I can't . . . literally I can not do it justice. You just must go out and read it. Now. I said GO!

:)

Here's the cover. Which is also pretty frickin' cool.

Next up: THE HUNGER GAMES!
