Awesome Books! :)

Recently, I came across a challenge to see if wewe could read 50 vitabu in a year. The person who came up with the challenge alisema that they didn't beat it and ended the mwaka with only 30 vitabu read. Intrigued, I wondered how many vitabu I could read in a year, so on September 29th, 2010, I started. So far, I've read Frankenstein kwa Mary Shelley which I finished on 9/30/10. I had already started kusoma it when I began.
I know some people are very active readers and probably have already read 50 vitabu in a year. My goal is really to see how dedicated I could be and see how many I read kwa the end...

This is mostly book characters but a few others are on the honerable mentions.

I see the wake trilogy in a lot of bookstores so after a mwezi I read them. I think they're popular, but I haven't heard anyone talk about them so… Wake is the first book in the series, fade is the second, and gone is the third one. They're basically about a girl who is in her third mwaka of high school and she has the ability to see people’s dreams. He mom is a druggy and her dad is... wewe don't know about him until the last book so I won't give anything away. My point is that she's lived with this secret all her life and she doesn't even trust her best friend enough to tell her. Then she...
