I lately have finished reading:

The Time Traveler's Wife - Very boring. 'Nuff said.

Twenties Girl - Sophie Kinsella , It was ok. Not the best book by her.

oh and another fav. of mine

Go Ask Alice - Anonymous, it's the true story of an unnamed girl who goes through a drug and alcohol addiction in the 60's. It's actually her diary.

I've been reading The Sword of Truth series on and off since I discovered it a couple of years ago. As much as I enjoy the fantasy quality to it, Goodkind's writing really starts lacking in the later novels and as his own formerly subliminal political motifs begin rising to the surface it becomes less and less enjoyable. I mean, the last one I read he dedicated to the United States Intelligence Agency or some BS government organization like that. Said it was defending against the "hounds of evil." Really, I don't mind authors sharing their viewpoints, but it's a little insipid (to say the least) to draw in readers under the guise of fantasy only to force-feed them this Neo-Con mantra through what have become barely-undertones. Anyway, the books themselves are still pretty good on their own merits.

I started reading The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. It gets better as it goes along and it's interesting to read, but it seems too much like a hoity-toity book circle selection to really meet my tastes. I'll finish it, I'm sure, eventually.

Really, books I've enjoyed in the past have been fairly obscure. I love (!!!) A Fistful of Sky by Nina Kiriki Hoffman, and The Rule of the Bone by Russel Banks was alright to a point. I find that of late I tend to get bored of books the farther I get into them, if I get into them at all, despite the fact that I love reading in general. I really like Oscar Wilde's writings, though; pretty much anything by him will keep my attention.

And if you for some reason haven't tried it yet, the first Twilight book is alright if you can ignore the intensive hype of it (wasn't a problem when I read it just after it came out, so I had no predispositions, and I say it's a fair read, though I found the others had little to offer.)

a good fantasy romance?
this is kinda childish and gay but i was just reading Gamer Girl by Mari Mancusi.

Its about a girl and a video game about fantasy (i'd imagine it a bit like WoW).
Don't think that it's weird to read! I found it appealing cuz it was funny and teenlike (even for a guy)

"The Girl Who Dashes Through Time = Toki wo Kakeru Shojou" then

That's the book that the movie got it's platform from.It actually got made into a manga to act as a prequel to the film like you said.The original book hasn't been serialized but the manga is.Don't know how to help you other than that

Here's the source number for the book.

ISBN 4-04-130510-1

If you can find a database for book holders then just type that in to locate it.

There are 2 live action tv shows and 2 films beside "Leapt"(wikipedia).
