People often get me books as gifts, but they are always giving away what they are going to give me by asking if I have this one or that one. This is for them. Of course, it will also be useful to me because I usually forget things. Short term memory, you know.

Perhaps you'd like to skip the regular books and go straight to other types of books...if so, click here.

Book Name	Book Author	Notes
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn	Mark Twain	From my 5th grade teacher -- she needed to get rid of a bunch of old books and I got them. Very, very old - 1918. Sheesh. It has those yellowed pages that means it is old. Anyways, liked the story but I'm not a huge fan of it. In fact, I didn't even like it until I watched Elijah Wood as Huck Finn in the movie. Then..well...let's just imagine cute little Elijah doing all those things in the book. That's better.
All Alone	Clair Huchet Bishop	Read this a long time ago...not a huge fan, but it's ok.
Anne of Avonlea	L. M. Montgomery	Realizing that Anne of Green Gables had a series, I went out and bought the second book. Love it too, but the first one is still my favorite.
Anne of Green Gables	L. M. Montgomery	Given to me by [insert family member] in hopes that I would learn to like classic stories. It worked. In very used condition, I love this story.
The Art of the Table	Suzanne Von Drachenfels	Apparently, my parents thought my table manners (and setting skills) were so awful that I need a book to use as reference. Does anyone follow this stuff?
Artemis Fowl (#1). I also have Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident and Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code.	Eoin Colfer	Awesome book, loved it! The markings on the pages were really cool. I'm guessing it was Gnomish or Fairy. Anyhow, bought the first one after I read most of it at Walden books. Couldn't help it, it was awesome. It's rather worn now, because I've read it about 20 times ^^;;
Artemis Fowl The Arctic Incident (I also have Artemis Fowl (#1) and Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code (#3))	Eoin Colfer	A sequel to the first, it was very good. I liked this one the least, but it was still really, really good. Bought it simply because I knew the first one was good.
Artemis Fowl The Eternity Code. I also have Artemis Fowl (#1) and Artemis Fowl and Arctic Incident (#2)	Eoin Colfer	Had to buy it as soon as I saw it at the book fair. Very good book, but not as good as the first two. I mean, I liked in second best but only because it was really interesting not because the story/plot thing was all that great. I had to read it over again to figure out some stuff.
ASTRONOMY INVESTIGATE series	Tim Furniss	Attempt made by my mother to use my love of reading to her advantage. Pretty slick, trying to get me to read about ASTRONOMY...now a reference book for projects. The same goes for WILDLIFE and WORLD HISTORY. Note: Astronomy is not to be confused with astrology.
Atlas of the World	Scholastic	It's an atlas, a reference book. Uh. Duh.
Ballet Stories	Introduced by Darcey Bussel Written by Barbara Newman Illustrated by Gill Tomblin	UNREAD, but I looked at the pictures.
The Beanie Baby Handbook	Les & Sue Fox	Yeah, yeah. I like stuffed things. I call them plushies now, thanks to Neopets.
Britney Spears | Special Edition	Angie Nichols	Auntie Julie gave me this for my...10th...11th...somethingth birthday because I liked Britney's first CD (I had it on cassete only).
Calvin & Hobbes	Bill Watterson	Dude!? Dude?! This is awesome, I love Calvin and Hobbes. Mainly Hobbes though. Got it from that same club as the one I got 101 Game Boy Secrets Revealed.
Cat's Cradle	Anne Akers Johnson	Fun book about string figures. Boredom Biter.
Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul. I also have Chicken Soup for the Preteen Soul.	Various people (I guess...)	Recieved when I was 10, this was a really great book for me to read. Gave me some insight ya know. Given to me for Christmas one year by Auntie Jule. Funny isn't it, she really isn't my aunt. She was the landlady of our first home when my family moved here. Friends :)
Chicken Soup for the Preteen Soul. I also have Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul.	Various people (I suppose anyway.)	I like reading about other people's stories. But I don't read this all that much anymore, only once in a while will I look at a story or two. Bought after reading the Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul.
A Child's Garden of Virtues	Various Authors	Cute stories that have a hidden virtue. Proves I have none.
The Children's Illustrated Bible	Retold by Selina Hastings	A heck of a lot easier to understand than my New American Bible.
Chinese Cinderella	Adeline Yen Mah	Saw it in a book order, then bought it at the book fair in school. Wonderful book, very touching.
Chobits: Volume One	CLAMP	I've read some of the other ones (internet download) but this is the only one in my possesion. Very good, wonderful and it's no wonder so many people love it.
The Christmas Miracle. I also have another book of this type called I Like Me.	Alan Siewert	I'm a character in this story. When I was six, my classmates and I each got our own book made for us. Same story, same pictures, same lines but with our names and the ones we chose in it. Cute.
Clues to the True You	Julia Marsden	I've never been very superstitious or thought that numbers or the stars or anything could determine who you are. But still, it's fun to play along.
Cold Fire	Tamora Pierce	It's another one of those books (like Harry Potter or LOTR or Artemis Fowl) that really opens up a whole new world; just like it says on those posters that tell kids to read. I've read this so many times...
Conversations with J.K. Rowling	Lindsey Fraser	I buy any Harry Potter related books that come my way. I hoped this might shed some light on the books. It's set like an interview - it's also gives some background information on Rowling herself; an authorized biography.
Cowboy Bepop ----shooting star---(Magna)	Cain Kuga, Original concept by Hajime Yatate copyright Sunrise.	I believe this is a different "version" of Cowboy Bepop or something. I'm not sure, because I've never read Cowboy Bepop before this. Anyways, it was really good and fun to read. Bought it at Sunrise store downstate.
Cytopathology	Grace T. McKee	I inherited this book from my grandfather when he passed away. Cannot understand any of it, besides the diagram of a cell.
The Day After Tomorrow	Allan Folsom	Bought for 50 cents at the antique store. Read it three or four times. Enjoyable to some extent, but not a favorite.
Dear Mom, Thank You For Being Mine	Scott Matthews and Tamara Nikuradse	One of those cute little things that mainly provides as something to place on Mother's Day card each year.
Di Gi Charat: Volume One	CLAMP	I've read some of the other ones (internet download) but this is the only one in my possesion. Very funny and cute, and as with the case, I'm not surprised a lot of people love it.
Diana: Twentieth Century Princess	Patricia Reilly Giff	Princess Diana, would probably be one of my role models. She did lots of really great things with her royalty, like promoting charities and stuff. This is a story of her life, one that I can understand - but it really glosses over her struggles with her illness.
Dikya, the Jellyfish	Marla Yotoko Chorengel	This is one of my kid/baby books. Really, really cute.
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and it's All Small Stuff.	Richard Carlson	Borrowed from my parents, and that means it ain't never going to find it's way back to them. Found it an inspirational book, but I take things too calmly anyhow. Joking. I read this often, maybe a page every week.
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Teens	Richard Carlson	One of those rare occasions when the "for Teen" book was more sensible for me than the original. I really like the ideas in here, and I'd like to thank Dr. Carlson for making me less explosive.
The Double Life of Pocahontus	Jean Fritz	OK, not really bad just not really great either. I won't read it again though.
Dragonguest	Anne McCaffret	Plucked out of the "free book box" my 8th grade history teacher had lying about. I have only read bits of the first book and this is volume two. I found it entertaining, though sometimes I got confused.
The Elements of Style | Fourth Edition	By William Strunk Edits by E.B. White	Useful reference book for essays and other such nonsense.
Ella Enchanted	Gail Carson Levine	I love magical books, fairy tales and so forth. So this was a really fun book to read because I like the magic in it. A Newberry Honor book too! Bought it at a book fair.
Enchantress from the Stars	Sylvia Engdahl	Good book, I think it's called science fiction. I mean, it has to do with these advanced civilizations coming down to a more primitive planet and these primitives think they are magical. There's also a bit of a love story going down in these pages. Anyways, really liked it. Got it for free somewhere.
Encyclopedia of Science Projects	Pam Robson and Mick Seller	Useful reference book.
Encyclopedia of the United States	Scholastic Judy Bock, Rachel Kranz	Bought for use in Knowledge Bowl and US History projects. Extremely useful for reference.
English-French | French-English Dictionary	Merriam Webster	I am taking French this year and I'm not entirely honest about my assignments.
English-Tagalog Dictionary (one-way only)	Booklore Publishing Corporation	Tagalog, in case you didn't know (how couldn't you? Shame.), is the Filipino basically. I got this from my mom because I was begging to learn how to speak Tagalog. I'm still working on it but I don't use this one as much as the other because it doesn't go both ways.
English-Tagalog | Tagalog-English Dictionary	Maria Odulio De Guzman	Tagalog, in case you didn't know (how couldn't you? Shame.), is the Filipino basically. I got this from my mom because I was begging to learn how to speak Tagalog. I'm still working on it, this dictionary is worn and torn from use.
The Essential Photoshop Book	Eileen Mullin	Reference book for when I am attempting something with Photoshop. Useful, really.
Everything You Need to Know	Scholastic	A School Survival book. I can't say it's helped much.
Face facts, Sky	Kate Andrews	Pretty good :)
Falling Up	Silverstein	Very cool book, stole it from my parents when I was young (I was a little thief, wasn't I?) and never gave it back. Wonderful book, love it, love it, love it. I really love children stories/poems. But then again, everyone can enjoy this, except I *really* enjoyed this as a child and still love it now.
Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them	Newt Scamander	Actually, JK Rowling wrote this book; I am Muggle and have the Harry Potter books, therefore know Newt Scamander is not a real person. It was cool how it had a whole concept of being a schoolbook owned by Harry - plus the descriptions of each magical creature was fun to read.
Fear Streat: The Confession	R.L. Stine	It was a fine book; something I would recommend to my friends. The plot was good, like a surprise. Book order.
Flowers in the Attic (#2 is Petals in the Wind and #3 is If There Be Thorns)	V.C. Andrews	Bought all three books at a garage sale for cheap of course. I read it many times out of sheer horror. I was terrified about being locked in my crawlspace for awhile.
For My Daughter	Evelyn Borthwick	Christmas Gift 1998, inscribed with a reminder that my mom loves me and to BE GOOD. *cough* It's one of those very touching books, and I like it lots. I'll give it to my daughter, if I have one.
Fun Fingers, Fancy Feet	Jane Glicksman	Pages of stuff you can make for your..fingers and feet.
Funny You Should Ask	Marg Meikle	This is a great book - I was really curious (and still am!) so this book was appreciate very much. Stolen, or borrowed forever, from me mama.
Ghost Soup	Judi Miller	It was a good story, you know. I enjoyed reading it.
girls R.U.L.E. Girls to the Rescue	Kris Lowe	Ho hum. OK book, not especially fond of it. Read it one or two times, got it from a book order club.
The Giving Tree	Silverstein	This is a classic child book. Best of all, it's even on my brother's reading list and he's in 4th grade! I like it :)
Green Mile	Stephen King	I finally bought and read this book. Love it a lot, that Stephen King is a favorite author of mine. I wish I had more of his books.
Greetings from Bikini Bottom	Nickolodeon(?)&Stephen Hillenbarg	Collection of quotes (with pictures!) from the Crusty Crew [& various other sea inhabitants] from the show SpongeBob Squarepants. Bought new from Walden along with Life is a Beach a similar book.
GRIMM'S Fairy Tales	uh..GRIMM?	This was my favourite "storybook", albeit Dr. Suess. I mean, I read all of the stories a gazillion times :) I will probably read this to my children.
Guinness World Records 2002	Guinness	I can't stop staring at these pictures. Take it away!!
The Gunslinger The Dark Tower I	Stephen King	It looked so enticing on that Bakersfield bookstore shelf. Stephen King is a favorite author of mine. I wish I had more of his books.
Gypsy Magic	Barbara Cartland	This and Journey to a Star were my first romance novels that I read. As much as I despise books with over excessive "crushes", I'm not incapable of liking stories with love as a theme. However, I don't often feel like reading this.
Hatchet	Gary Paulsen	Plucked out of the "free book box" my 8th grade history teacher had lying about. I enjoyed it.
Hair Wraps	Anne Akers Johnson	Those things look so neat! I love doing them :) Thank you, KLUTZ.
The Handy Space Answer Book	Phillis Engelbert and Diane L. Dupuis	One of those educational books Mom gave me in hopes I would learn something. Uh...I tried reading this a few years ago, but apparently I can't read through this thing straight.
Harry Potter series: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5	J.K. Rowling	I got #1-#4 for my birthday one or two years ago from Tita Annabel & Co. I bought the fifth book as soon as it came out, and all five (as expected) were excellent. In fact, you could say I'm a bit obsessed - I've read all 5 at least 15 times each and counting!
He Sees You When You're Sleping	Mary & Carol Higgins Clark	It was a fun book to read. I bought it in an airline bookstore for something to read during the flight. It served its purpose well.
Help! I'm Turning Into My Mother!	Becky Freeman and Ruthie Arnold (Mother & Daughter)	Bought in airport bookstore on my way back from California one year. A fun read, probably will be even funnier when I'm middle-aged and am turning into my mother for real. Oh God, no!
The Hobbit	J.R.R. Tolkien	I got this for my birthday...um...maybe when I was 11 or something from Tito Omel (I remember because I was so excited about it). Of course it's a wonderful book :)
Holes	Louis Sachar	Very awesome book. It's really, really, really good. 'Nuf said.
The Holy Card Prayer Book Volume I & II	Leaflet Missal Co.	About Saints and religious stuff. Probably from grandma. Um..., I use this for All Saints Day.
Homework Help on the Internet	Marianne J. Dyson	Well, I've never actually used this...maybe I should. :)
Horror Show	Jim Razzi	Got from my mom, one of the libraries old books they don't want anymore. I can see why, read once and don't want to ever touch it again.
How to Draw Anything | A Complete Guide	Angela Gair	Don't be fooled. Just because I have ownership of this book does not mean I have any drawing talent whatsoever. Good book though.
How to Draw Anime & Game Characters Vol. 1 Basics for Beginners and Beyond	Tadashi Ozawa	I owe a lot to this book. It's really helpful.
How to Draw Manga | Vol. 4	....	Teaches people like me who claim to have no talent to dress characters in casual clothing.
How to Draw Manga | Vol. 5	....	Teaches people like me who claim to have no talent to learn and develop shoujo manga technique.
How to Say It	Rosalie Maggio	A book about what to say when you need to write something - choice words, phrases, sentences & paragraphs for every situation. I noticed they didn't say what to say when you've found out your dog has been dancing down at the club, or any number of things. I stole this from my parents.
I Like Me. I also have another book of this type called "The Christmas Miracle"	Carol Stone	I'm a character in this story. When I was six, my classmates and I each got our own book made for us. Same story, same pictures, same lines but with our names and the ones we chose in it. Cute.
If There Be Thorns (#3) I also have Flowers in the Attic (#1) and Petals in the Wind (#2)	V.C. Andrews	Again, this story is really character *what's the word?* heavy? I mean, I could just feel them. But anyways, good story and a fitting end to the trilogy. Bought at a garage sale.
Inside Out	Ann M. Martin	Old book from school - teacher didn't want it anymore. Not surprised. Read 2 times. Not a favorite, not hated either.
Inside the Hindenburg	Mireille Majoor	I learned a lot from this book; it's really awful, that Hindenburg.
Inspector Gadget	The movie people: story, adaption, screenplay and all that jazz.	So-so book. Not really happy about it, though I've read it a few times.
Instead of Three Wishes	Megan Whalen Turner	It's a collection of stories about fanciful things, with a twist. Really great read.
Inuyasha: Volume One	Rumiko Takahashi	I've read many of the other volumes, but this is currently the only one I own. It's really good - I very much would like to have the other mangas...
Jacinta's Story	Andrea Fragelli	Given to me by my maternal grandmother.
Jazz Up Your Jeans	American Girl Library	A neat book with tips and stuff so I can make my old clothes look neat.
Journey to a Star	Barbara Cartland	This and Gypsy Magic were my first romance novels that I read. As much as I despise books with over excessive "crushes", I'm not incapable of liking stories with love as a theme. However, I don't often feel like reading this.
Junior Girl Scount HANDBOOK	Girl Scout of the USA	I was a Girl Scout for one year. End.
Kaplan SAT & PSAT | Essential Review	Kaplan	Lord nows I need this. I've gone through this book a million times, doomed to fail the real thing.
The Kid's Book of Chess	Harvey Kidder	I'm not very good at Chess, but this thing came with my chess set - I'm still not good. At all.
The Lady in the Tower	Jean Plaidy also known as Victoria Holt	I like this book - Anne Boleyn is such an amazing story. I mean, this offered a first person view of what happened and it was really cool. Tragic, but a really good read. Read many times, stole it from Mom.
The Last Book in the Universe	Rodman Philbrick	Looked extremely interesting on the shelf, plucked it off and read the first few pages. Finished half the book in the store and bought it. Read over and over again. Like it.
Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Biography	Author Unknown	I think this was hilariously insane. It's confusing, hard to understand and has all these funny hints throughout the book. I love it :) I bought it from Walden Books December 2003. Also see the Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.
Life is a Beach and Other SpongeBob-isms	Nickelodean (I guess)	I love SpongeBob, so when I saw this I just had to buy it! I read it whenever I feel the need to laugh or ponder the meaning of life.
The Lives of the Saints for Girls	Louis M. Savary	Given to me by my maternal grandmother, obviously. I think it was to prove that there is no way in earth or hell that I will be a saint. Ever.
The Lord of the Rings	J.R.R. Tolkien	Bought the entire thing - it's all in one huge book. I really, really like LOTR (yeah, I'm own of the crazed fans) and enjoyed the book immensely. I also like the Hobbit.
The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter	David Colbert	Much like the Sorcer's Companion, this book goes into background information to the historically rich books of Harry Potter. It's very interesting, but I'm slightly suspicious because it was not associated with anyone who had anything to do with Harry Potter.
A Manual of Style	US Government Printing Office	A guide to good writing. My oh-so-blah reference book.
Mel	Liz Berry	Accidently stolen from Accelerated Reading room. I mean accident, because if I meant to steal a book it would of been better than this one. Read once, not impressed.
Money Makers	Ingrid Roper	Shows girls what they can do to make some $$$. Despite having this book, I seem to have a distinct lake of $$$.
The Most Brilliant Thoughts of All Time	Edited by John M. Shanahan	Brilliant :) This is one of my favorite quote books, useful when I need to include a "favorite quote" on a profile or something.
My Book about Me	By Me & Dr. Suess	A neat book were you fill in things about yourself.
My First Christmas Activity Book	Angela Wilkes	Insanely useful around Christmas time.
Nancy Drew: #12 The Message in the Hollow Oak and #52 The Secret in the Forgotten City	Carolyn Keene	I've read almost the whole series, but these are the only ones I own. Though, I would like to own them all; there isn't a lot of drama or action, but for some reason, I like it.
Numerology	Dell Purse Book	Weird little book. Interesting, yet sadly unrealistic.
The Nursery Rhyme Murders	Agatha Christie	Bought cheap at the antique store. Read it once, not much interest in reading it again.
The Official Pokemon Handbook	Maria S. Barbo	Well...I've been an avid Pokemon game player. I think they're cute (the show is yucky, blaaargh.) and everything. So this one came in handy. But I've stopped collecting and mostly stopped playing because I can't keep up with all 300 whatever. 150, no problem.
Oh My Goddess!: Wrong Number	Kosuke Fujishima	I've read many of the others, but this is currently the only one in my possession. Very good.
Organize Your Office!	Ronni Eisenberg with Kate Kelly	Useful when I'm trying to clean my desk up and organize it. I'm big on organization, too bad I can never follow routines that well.
Origami 2	Unknown	Just what it sounds like.
Out of the Dust	Karen Hesse	This is one of my favourite books. I especially like the way it's set out, in almost a poetic way. It's really a touching story, and so real.
The Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus	Oxford	Pretty useful, isn't it?
Palmistry	Lisa Trumbauer	Another superstitious practice gone awry. I cannot figure this stupid thing out, I never much liked palmistry. ^__^
Petals on the Wind (#2) I also have Flowers in the Attic (#1) and If There Be Thorns (#3)	V.C. Andrews	I was really awed (scared, really) by the emotions of the characters. It was a good book, and not as frightening as the first one. Bought this, along with the other two, at a garage sale.
Pokemon Trading Card Game Player's Guide	Brian Brokaw & J. Douglas Arnold with Mark Elles	Sure enough, this is from my Pokemon crazed days. In fact, I collected all 150 of the original first ones. I don't remember this one , just found it on my shelf.
Pollyanna	Eleanor H. Porter	Bought after reading an excerpt in my English book. I love it, one of those heartwarming stories.
The Princess Diaries: Volumes I-II The Princess Diaries (I), Princess in the Spotlight (II), Princess in Love (I)	Meg Cabot	Even though there are those crazy love things that I get annoyed about as a general theme, the funny way Mia writes in her diary makes up for it. Pretty good. Recieved as gift for Christmas from Marissa & Family.
The Purple Kiss	Mercer Mayer's	One of the Critter Kids series. A love story really - high school love, of all things. Not a fan.
Quidditch Through the Ages	Kennilworthy Whisp	Actually, JK Rowling wrote this book; I am Muggle and have the Harry Potter books, therefore know Kennilworthy Whisp is not a real person. This was a fun book to read; I've been a "fan" of Quidditch for quite some time now, I can sit and watch it in my head. In the word's of Rita Skeeter (Daily Prophet) "I've read worse."
The Real Me	Betty Miles	Um...I read this a while back, I think I enjoyed it. Yeah.
Reggie's No-Good Bird	Nellie Burchardt	5th grade teacher was getting rid of old books, let me take whatever couldn't be sold or nobody wanted. Don't like the story too much, wasn't interested.
Roget's Thesaurus	Thumb*picture of a thumb's up*Ease	It's a thesaurus. Don't fall out of yer chairs.
The Royal Diaries series: Cleopatra VII [Kristina Gregory], Lady of Ch'iao Kuo [Laurence Yep], Sondok [Sheri Holman], Eleanor [Kristina Gregory], Isabel [Carolyn Meyer], Elizabeth I [Kathryn Lasky], Mary QUEEN OF SCOTS [Kathryn Lasky], Nzingha [Kathryn Lasky], Jahanara [Kathryn Lasky], Marie Antoinette [Kathryn Lasky], Victoria [Anna Kirwan], Elisabeth [Barry Denenberg], Kaiulani [Ellen Emerson White], Anastatia [Carolyn Meyer] and Kristina [Carolyn Meyer].	See left.	I like reading diaries, and the whole princess thing...come on, what's not to love? I really like this series, they are all really good. My favorite is Cleopatra VII and Jahanara. Wonderful.
The Rules of the Game: FOOTBALL, SOCCER, BASKETBALL, BASEBALL	Jennifer M. Sakurai	I bought these in case I ever needed to learn about sports. I don't follow sports, except tennis, therefore I don't know the rules. These were at the library booksale.
S is for space	Ray Bradbury	Picked out of the "free book box" my 8th grade history teacher had lying about.
Scholastic Book of World Records 2003	Scholastic	What can I say? My parents like for me to have stuff like this. Got it from Scholastic book order, year 2003 (doh!). Don't really care.
A Series of Unforunate Events: The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, The Wide Window, The Miserable Mill, The Austure Academy, The Ersatz Elevator, The Vile Village, The Hostile Hospital, The Carnivorous Carnival and The Slippery Slope.	Lemony Snicket	I bought the first eight book for a bargain at the book fair. I spent $40 at that fair, and this took up a good chunk of it! Love the books! [edit]I got the latest two (The Carnivorous Carnival and The Slippery Slope) from Santa for Christmas 2003! [/edit]. Great stuff. I also bought Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Biography for myself.
Shadowgraphs	Jane Corby	A neat book with all sorts of cool shadows I can make. Even I, the alltime clutz, can control my hands long enough to make the hard ones :)
The Sign of the Beaver	Elizabet George Speare	This Newberry Honor Book was required reading in school but I liked it. It was a fun story to read, thought it takes me little more than an hour to start and finish it.
Sing a Song of Popcorn	Various Persons	A bunch of really cute children's poems.
Snow Treasure	Marie McSwigan	One of those books you buy for the "young adults" in Junior High. Exactly why I was give it. It was good, and there wasn't any sappy love to mess it up like they usually put in books. I can appreciate cold snow.
The Sorcerer's Companion	Allan Zola Kronzck & Elizabeth Kronzck	..and I quote, "A guide to the Magical World of Harry Potter". Interesting, with background information on loads of things. My only miff is that it's a lot like fanfiction; since Rowling had nothing to do with this book, some of the stuff doesn't "fit" with the Harry Potter and related books.
Spanish Dictionary: Spanish-English | English-Spanish	Harper Collins	Hey! I like languages ok? Kidding. I've never used this.
A step by step book about Guinea Pigs	Anmarie Barrie	I was young and I wanted a pet. My mom was leaning toward rodents, as long as they weren't rats. I read this book to see if I could take care of a guinea pig. They smell.
Super MAD #51	Edited by Albert B. Feldstein	HAHAHAHAHAHA. Bought at an antique store for 50 cents. Worth every penny.
Tell It Like It Is	Karle Dickelson	OK, it's from one of those "girl" bookorders. It's like an interview with these 6 boys and girls to see what they think or whatever. Not a fan.
The Thief Lord	Cornelia Funks	A lovely novel that includes the four elements: a kid wishing they were grown-up, an adult wishing he was young (both got their wish), two brothers running away from a evil aunt and meeting up with a bunch of orphans being taken care of by the kid wishing he were a grown-up and a whole bunch of awesome stuff like that. A good book, though I don't have much inclination to read it again.
Totally Haunted Kids	Bruce Nash and Allan Zullo	Unlikely to be true stories, though they claim to be "real", about kids and encounters with ghosts and posessed furniture. Um, no, I didn't like this book.
Troll Jokes and Riddles	Linda Longo	I like trolls, but I didn't intentionally buy this book. It was given to me by mom, she probably got it in some "used" store. Not very amusing but the troll pictures were cute.
The Trumpeter of Krakow	Eric P. Kelly	Oooh, really cool book. I've read this book many times, and it's very good.
Understanding Neuropsychology	J.Graham Beaumont	I used to be very interested in a medical career of neurology - so any "neuro-" books I read, or tried to read. I'm still trying to remember what parts of the brain go where???
The Usborne Book of Origami	Kate Needham	Exactly how it sounds.
The Velveteen Rabbit	Margery Williams	Another great children's classic. I love this book, and the pictures are neat (thanks to William Nicholson).
The Westie Winter	Coleen Hubbard	Read a few times out of boredom really. Not well liked.
What Eric Knew	James Howe	Got it from a book order club. Read a few times out of boredom. Not well liked.
What the Stars Say about Life and Love Seventeen: Total Astrology	Georgia Routsis Savas	::snort:: Right. This was written in "teen language" using words like "totally" and "hot hookup" in hopes that the ridiculous idea that the stars can tell me the kind of man I'm going to end up with will make more "sense" by appealing to my teenage soul. Good for a laugh.
Where was Patrick Henry On the 29th of May?	Jean Fritz	A neat historical biography on Patrick Henry. Got for free from old school.
Where's Mom Now That I Need Her?	Betty Rae Frandsen, Kathryn J. Frandsen, and Kent P. Frandsen	A neat book that tells you stuff you need to know when you're out on your own: cooking, cleaning and so forth.
WILDLIFE INVESTIGATE series	Martin Walters	Attempt made by my mother to use my love of reading to her advantage. Pretty slick, trying to get me to read about WILDLIFE...now a reference book for projects. The same goes for ASTRONOMY and WORLD HISTORY.
Without Remorse	Tom Clancy	Very good (and thick) book. I was sucked into it - it was really good. I don't want to read it again right away though. Stolen from my dad - most likely permanently.
WORLD HISTORY INVESTIGATE series	Anita Ganeri, Hazel Mary Martell, Brian Williams	Attempt made by my mother to use my love of reading to her advantage. Pretty slick, trying to get me to read about WORLD HISTORY...now a reference book for projects. The same goes for WILDLIFE and ASTRONOMY.
Your First Rabbit	Louise Vernier	I was young and I wanted a pet. My mom was leaning toward rodents, as long as they weren't rats. I read this book to see if I could take care of a rabbit. They smell.
20 Greatest Athletes of the 20th Century	Brad Herzog	UNREAD, UNLOOKED AT.
101 Essential Tips: Tennis	Paul Douglass	Uh..haven't used it yet.
101 Game Boy Secrets Revealed	Terry Munson & Paul Shinoda	*cough* Never touched it. Got it from a club in a book order. Cancelled it immediately afteward.
1000 Knock Knock Jokes for Kids	Michael Kilgarriff	Affectionately called "1000 Jokes Meant to Annoy". Don't use it, don't remember where I got it.

Other (pamphlets, mini-books, cookbooks, user guides). Not in any particular order.

Mini-Book	Feng Shui | The Art of Living	Rosalind Simmons	The "Do's and Don't's" of Feng Shui in a tiny little book. I have not read it, nor do I plan on using it.
Mini-Book	The Little Book of Hand Shadows	Phila H. Webb	A little version of Shadowgraphs. Cute.
Mini-Book	Treasures of Folk Art	Museum of American Folk Art	A collection of pictures of...american folk art, duh! Very neat.
Pamphlet-thing	Spiritual Fiction Manual	Ew...Button-Eyed Spiritual Flock	Came with this sheep plushie I got at my 6th grade graduation. Remains unread.
Cookbook	Campbell's Easy Meal Ideas from the Campbell Family of Brands	Campbell's	I am too clumsy to even make cookies (trust me, I've tried), so this remains unused for the time being.
Pamphlet-thing	Illustrated Introduction to the Rules of Tennis	United States Tennis Association	Just like it sounds. Read, digested, done. Comes with Code of Conduct and 10 Flexibilty Exercises lamented.
Cookbook	[Hometown Deleted] Girl's Club	[Hometown Deleted] Girl's Club	Full of "homey" recipes. My town's Girl's club compiled this, so I deleted the name of the town in order to protect my privacy.
Cookbook	Banner Realty The Best Tastes of Home CookBook	Banner Realty	For someone with no kitchen ability, I sure have a number of cookbooks. Given to me by this lady who sold us our house, many years ago.
Booklet	Dental Diary and Information Booklet	My Dentist	Useful for the out-of-the-blue reference book.
Booklet	Saint Agnes	M.R. Berardi	Another story of a saint, who was thirteen years old when she became a martyr. She could be a role model; but I live can't up to that!
Booklet	A Patient's Guide to Asthma	Fred Leffert, MD	My brother gets attacks from asthma once every so often, so I got this booklet so I could learn about it.
Booklet	Paren'ts Home Safety Handbook	Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh	Hey - Miguel was born there. My writing graffitis the pages. Useful to know, seeing as I may be a danger to myself.
Lamenated Pamphlet	The Best Paper Airplanes You'll Ever Fly	KLUTZ	Yay, something to amuse me during French, you know?
Booklet	About Jesus Christ	Channing L Bete Co.	I went to a Catholic School all through my education. I got something outta it, ok?
User Guide	Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0	ADOBE	Useful, as a user guide is supposed to be.
Booklet	The Arrow Writer's Handbook	SCHOLASTIC	V. Useful throughout sixth grade, as I learned NOTHING from my teachers that year.
Booklet	Do You Really Know Your Pet?	Luann Colombo	I think the neatest thing that came with this book was the dog whistle! Man, that was cool.
User's Guide	Norton SystemWorks Professional 2004	Symantec	I haven't used this yet; mainly because I don't want to.
Booklet	The Chinese Characters	By Barbara Aria	This came with a Chinese Stamp Set I got from my mom. It's really neat, and even has an explanation for each character. Awesome, thanks mom :)
Poster Book	Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Poster Book	Warner & Scholastic	Rupert Grint is cute. I'm not all that impressed with the pictures (mainly because Dan Radcliffe is in most of them >< yuck) but they are good...
Booklet	The Real Me Revealed	Julia Marsden	Some fill-in-the-blank book to help find the "true me". Like, no?
Booklet	SPEAK OUT!	Scholastic	It's a sign-in book; it's ok, not that I've really used it.
Booklet	Bead Art Fun	Ruthmarie Hofmann and Lisa Wright	Craft book for making beeded keychain things. Cool.

I suppose these cook recipe cards could be considered part of my collection. I also consider 7th Grade Brain Quest and "Why is..How do..?" flashcards as a part of the collection as well.
