3 Books, 3 Days. The story of my life.
“Jala is the most book-crazy of all of us- she puts all the avid readers out there to shame with her ‘one book a day’ philosophy.” -Rika
“If someone could take over the world using books, Jala would be the dictator of the world by now.” -Calister F. Wells
My Favorite Books:
Hi guys! Welcome to Jala’s page of wonderful books!!! Thanks for all the support and comments you guys give. If you are a returning visitor to my page, you know that I am a bibliophile. (In other words, a lover and collector of books) If you are a new visitor, I’d like to say welcome!
So I was asked what this portion of my page has to do with the future. My response is that because of my list, you may be reading one of the books below somewhere in the near future. Plus, books often shape or represent the future, so therefore I am completely justified in talking about my favorite literature works of art.

Okay wow! It took about an hour to update my page. The sad part is I think I am still missing some amazing books that I have read! And I still have yet to color code everything! So for anyone who has been wondering where I have been, I have being reading and then dealing with real lifeL. That and I could not login for about 2 months. Computers hate me or maybe it is just my computer hmh ……
I recently discovered a website called good reads. It is amazing! You can rate all your favorite books and get updates from all your favorite authors. All you bibliophiles out there should definitely check it out!
Almost done nowJ I am going to in random intervals highlight some books that are on my list. All highlighted books messages will be at the bottom of the page. Check out there is a new one there right now !
The Future of Books:
We all have the question of what the future will be like, but what is the future for books? Will books live on or fade away with time, technology replacing them? I hope books will live on and grow, but not with technology. For, you see, when we transfer books to videos, tapes, CD’s, and the Internet, the books lose pieces of themselves like the way a rumor twists reality. They would change slowly until the stories can not take any more.
Books are knowledge- we learn from them, we visit the worlds that they take us. Without them, where would we be? I hope that they do indeed live on and grow and that aren’t tossed aside as another useless item that time has torn away. Save the books!

o Gotta love Sarah Dessen!
I recently came upon a new author I just love, Sarah Dessen, seriously her books captivate me and make me fall in love with realistic fiction.( which is quite a feat believe me ) My Favorite book of hers oh man I just realized it might my tie !! * gasps * well I guess I will tell you about Along for the Ride.
. Oh where to start ….. This book has a great message about living life to the fullest with no regrets. As one of the charters says “just get back on the bike “ . I don’t want to spoil anything so I hate writing summaries L anyway here are some quirky things I liked about the book “call it chicken salad” Fake ocean waves right next to the real thing ? Abe’s Bikes. One summer and second chances! Hope you will read it! ~ Jala
Maybe next time I’ll write about Lock and Key the computer screen is giving me a headache L ………..
