JuNoWriMo

I've decided to use JuNoWriMo as an opportunity to finish my novel. I know you're supposed to write the whole novel but, seeing as I've already started one, I want to use the month of June to finish mine. I need some sort of definite goal. This is it! :) Just wondering if anyone else will be joining in on this lovely madness?
And you know I can't miss an opportunity to share a song with y'all. Elsiane "Across the Stream." Enjoy!

Books

I absolutely love to read and I love to write. I love how words can take you to another place. We're able use our imaginations. Something that pretty much stops when we grow up. There's nothing like living out a novel in your head.
I just wanted to share some of my favorite books and maybe you could tell me some of yours.
I love Sarah Dessen. She is an amazing writer. I do have to catch up on her books though. Two of my favorites by her are "The Truth About Forever" and "Just Listen." Incredible novels that are so realistic. I recommend reading them.
I've already recommended Lauren DeStefano's The Chemical Garden Trilogy. Some of the best writing ever. :)
I also loved "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer but it was difficult for me to get into. Normally a book has to grab me right from the first sentence or forget it. But I kept hearing how good it was so, after a couple of tries, I got past the slow-moving chapters in the beginning. Then I couldn't put the book down. I was up all hours of the night reading it! I haven't seen the movie yet.
Some older likes:
Anne of Green Gables. Anyone remember those? Good reads!
Flowers for Algernon.
The Call of the Wild.
That's just a few.
On another note, here's a video for you all. It's by Dear Euphoria "Coming Down." :D
