The Goose Girl, by Shannon Hale

Forgotten about me, eh?
Not so easy to do that. :D :D :D
Anyways.
I finished The Goose Girl, by Shannon Hale, last week.
REVIEW: 4 stars out of 5
It's about a princess who basically has all these misconceptions about the world, and she's totally naive and way too trusting. It's kinda cliche, in that case. She learns her lesson, blah blah blah, marries the prince (whoopsie, spoiler. :P :P). But it has a nice twist: many people in this world have these powers - the power of "people-talk," or persuasion in a magical sense; the power to be able to speak to animals; and finally the power to speak to the wind, fire, trees, water, etc. It's actually pretty interesting - Shannon Hale is a great writer. If you can ignore all the cliches. A nice fairy tale. A good, simple read, doesn't need too much thinking.

The book I'm reading right now is Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen. Pretty good book so far. Look out for a review soon. :D :D

Well bye! :)
