Okay so right now I'm reading the book Uglies, and so far I don't find it very good. The thought of seprating people of what they look like drive me to madness. Honestly, is it really looks that get you through life?
My favorite books are a series called the inheritance cycle. It is made up of the books Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and coming soon is Inheritace. I recommend this series for everybody! It is about dragons and magic (which I am a fan of). Read this book and tell me what you think!
Right now I am reading a book called The Freedon Writers Diary. It is a true story, and an autobiography about a whole high school class that had horrible lives (they were in gangs, all of them had seen at least one person murdered before their eyes, they were a victim of violence themselves, or they were the ones killing people. They all got into this one English class and the teacher turned their lives around. they all graduated with good gpas and all planned on going to college. You shuld read this truely toutching book.
Hi everyone! I have a recommendation for teens. One of my favorite series is The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. I would highly recommend this series. Also, no surprise, I would recommend The Hunger Games. Read the book if your thinking of seeing the movie!
i like the castor chroniles (basically. beautiful creatures, beautiful darkness and beautiful chaos and upcomming beautiful redemtion) and am looking forward to the movie on 1st feb 2013!
I love books and reading. I do use iBooks, but there is nothing like the feel and heft of a book.
For those who like thrillers and cop dramas, I recommend the "Prey" series by John Sandford. Even though they are kinda cheesy I love the Alex Cross novels by James Patterson.
I'm not trying to advertise my blog, I just don't have room to say all I would like, and I don't want to be a spammy troll.
On my blog, I have a list of books I've read (so far) this summer (2012 & 2013 can be found here). I update it again every few days (or at least every other week!) Here are some of my reviews:
(2 on my blog) The Handbook for Dragon Slayers by Merrie Haskell - Very Witty and Well-written! Not what I expected at all! Technically, this is a middle-grade fiction novel.
(7 on my blog) The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black - An interesting take on the YA Vampire genre. I could hardly put it down! Riveting action and introspective reasoning. Way better than Twilight - although this is definitely a Young Adult novel - it is pretty gory.
(9 on my blog) The Summer Prince by Alaya Dawn Johnson - A post-apocalyptic world set in Brazil. I really wanted to like this book, and for the first 2/3 I found it really difficult to connect with the characters, their world, and their technology. I actually wanted to put it down and walk away, but, then, something changed and I found myself unable to put it down. I both hated and loved this book, which, in a sense, is a good tribute to the book.
(10 on my blog) Divergent by Veronica Roth - Quite well-written. Truly riveting and thought-provoking. Reminiscent of The Giver (with just a dash of Hunger Games, a pinch of Logan's Run, and a hint of Ender's Game). I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. (My blog post also includes my reviews of the rest of The Divergent series.)
Dandilion Wine by Ray Bradbury. I recommend it foreveryone. Especially if you are a fan of Anthony Bordain. Their writing styles are very similar. At least I think so.
LOTR is by far the BEST series ever, so rich and deep......It can't be explained just of awesome of a series it it. I am currently on the third book of the Chronicles of Narnia though. I am also reading the LOTR series over again and am almost done with the first book.
I totally agree! That's what makes picking new books so hard for me though is that I've read like all the stuff that everyone's recommended/ the common good books.
My short story, "Frank Winston," is now available on Amazon, and Kindle Unlimited. I've written about this story before on my blog. You can read a sample of it here. It's a tale of two old guys who are crass and ornery. Think Grumpy Old Men, but in the mob (to a slight extent). They haven't had the best of luck in their years and seem to give each other the same amount of trouble that they get themselves into.
Here is the blurb.
Frank Winston is not just one guy, but two elderly ex-cons trying to make some extra money. With the recent purchase of a customized used van, they set out to find their fortunes. Curt Ferrero calls the men to transport some stolen goods to a buyer while the owner of these goods, a mid level gangster and Ferrero's boss, wants to put an end to Ferrero's ways. Frank and Winston are caught in the middle of an internal squabble in the mob that these grumpy old men don't wants to be a part of. They just want some extra cash, but will they be able get out without getting into trouble?
This is my first attempt at self publishing and I'm excited to finally have something of mine out there in the real world, or digital world, or... You know what I mean.
I like reading YA books during the summer break. My goal this break is to read a whole series. Currently reading Twilight Saga. (Late Reader on this series)
I absolutly love The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, and I would highly recommend it to anyone! But just beware, because there are multiple companion series/trilogies!

So far it's a really intriguing form of storytelling. I'm only on page 20 but so far so good.

My favorite book series is without a doubt is the Sugar Creek Gang.
But some other books that I love that aren't that popular include:
The Peleg Chronicles
The Adventures of Jecosan Tarres
The Rugendo Rhinos
I would recommend all of these to any one from 8+. They're all really good books full of adventure and mystery.

I love reading, but one of my favorite books is called Chasing Brooklyn. It's written in verse, so it's a quick read, but it's very powerful.
