100 for Books

~Topleaf~ · April 2008

I have $100 to spend on books, and I need some suggestions. Please suggest the one book that has been the favourite you have ever read. I don't want like 50 million so-so suggestions.

I pretty much like anything. (I have already read the Harry Potter and Twilight series)

What kind of books do you like, action, horror, comedy? I have many sugestions, just need to narrow down some

There is a series called Sweep, its about a average girl who gets interested in Wicca and then finds out that she is the daughter of some of the most powerful Wiccans of all time. They are very good! The books Crank, Glass, Impulse and Burned are very good. Crank and Glass are about the same girl fighting her addiction to Crack Impulse is about these 4 people who in some way or another tried to commit suicide but failed and are now in a facility, learning to deal Burned is about a Mormon girl who is abused by her father and eventually sent away to her Aunts. I suck at summaries but just check them out, they are some of the best book I have ever read besides the Twilight Series of course I could give you tons more but I wont.

A Great and Terrible Beauty and all the other books in that series. They are amazing. If I try to summarize it, I'll screw it up, lol. They are amazing though. Maximum Ride series of course. Hawksong and the others in that series. Any Ann Rice book, if you're into vampire books. Stephen King books, if you're into horror. hmmm...

Ah, I recently read some amazing books: 1.) Two Little Girls in Blue-Mary Higgins Clark Summary When Margaret and Steve Frawley come home to Connecticut from a black-tie dinner in New York, their 3 year old twisn, Kathy and Kelly, are gone. The police found the babysitter unconscious, and a ransom note from the "Pied Piper" demands 8 million dollars. Steve's global investment firm puts up the moneey, but when they got to retrieve the twins, only Kelly is in the car. At the memorial, Kelly tugs her mom's arm and says "Mommy, Kathy is very scared of that lady. She wants to come home right now." At first, only Margaret believes that the twins are communicating and that Kathy is still alive. But as Kelly's warnings become increasingly specific and alarming, FBI agents set out on a desperate search. 2.) The Watcher-Lael Littke Summary Catherine Belmont watches her soap opera, Lost river every day. She imagines she's beautiful Cassandra Bly, the star of the show, with her sexy boyfriends, gorgeous clothes, and her own red convertible. Little by little, in strange, frightening ways, Catherine's life begins to echo Cassandra's. Catherine finds herself nervously rushing home to watch the show, to find out what will happen next in her own life. But Cassandra's life isn't so wonderful anymore. Because someone wants her dead. Catherine is sure her own life is also in danger. Or is she losing her mind? 3.) Love is Patient-Carolyne Aarsen Summary If Dylan Matheson knew the real reason she had become his secretary, Lisa Sterling suspected his gray eyes would turn to Arctic Ice. Always protective of her step-brother, she now needed to get inside Dylan's company to clear her sibling's name. Lise thought their relationship would be strictly business. Until she accompanied Dylan to a family wedding... The Mathesons' closeness and absolute trust in faith drewLisa like a blazing fire on a cold winter's night. A tower of strength, Dylan was a man she love unfailingly. But as their attraction blossomed, she feared her secret would jeopardize everything. Unless Dylan's faith made him see love is all things, including forgiveness. =) Those books I could barely put down

-Blue is for nightmares -white is for magic -silver is for secrets -red is for rememberance. These are excellent books. They are all in a series (I listed them in order). There is this girl that practices Wicca and has visions and things while she is sleeping. Normally about someone going to die. It is very cool to read if you are interested in magic and such. She performs the standard wicca spells like carving on candles and creating incense.

Thanks guys. I am not so much into comedy, or horror, but anything else is okay. The suggestions are great so far. Currently I am reading "Where the Red fern Grows" and "Megiddo's Shadow". When I am finished those I will be heading to the book store.

Almost any book by Anthony Horowitz. He is a great author My favorite books by him are the 'The Power of Five' series. I don't want to give anythign anyway, but, very, very good

Where the Red Ferns grow is very sad. I actually cried. I am glad I read it at home because people would think I was strange.

KiteKatsumi9 · April 2008

A Patch of Blue by Elizabeth Kata. I hate reading, -hate- it, but I read that book at least 6 times through. That's a huge thing for me though, cause as I said, I hate reading.

Why did you start readin it if you hate reading so much?

Just out of curiosity, not being rude. I wrote that one down, I will have to look.

KiteKatsumi9 · April 2008

It was assigned in English last year.

tarnish · April 2008

To me it was sad. But just saying it was sad doesn't give the ending away. Becuase what I find sad you might not.

Doggydog · April 2008

Okay, when ever someone asks me "what is a good book?" I always say ''Peter and the Starcatchers'' it is mainly how Peter Pan, becomes Peter Pan. But it is nothing like the movie. I absolutely HATE Peter Pan. But this is way better. Every one who read it was hooked. I've read it like 10 times (really i have!) and couldn't put it down. The sequel is Peter and the Shadow Thieves. Then, Peter and the Secret of Rundoon. such great books and I would recommend them to ANYONE and EVERYONE!

~Topleaf~ · April 2008

Aww, it is really sad in the end... I just finished.

tarnish · April 2008

I know..I just said that so I won't ruin the ending. Poor doggies..

BuffyBoarding · April 2008

The books Crank, Glass, Impulse and Burned are very good. Crank and Glass are about the same girl fighting her addiction to Crack Impulse is about these 4 people who in some way or another tried to commit suicide but failed and are now in a facility, learning to deal Burned is about a Mormon girl who is abused by her father and eventually sent away to her Aunts. ^^ Secrets suggestions... have got to be 4 of the best books i have ever read.

TopDogs1 · April 2008

When I was in 5th grade, our teacher read Where the Red Fern Grows. The teacher and about 4 other girls (who were sitting close by Thank God) were all crying.

it makes me cry just to think about it.

(BTW) Peter and the Starcatchers, Peter and the Shadowthieves, and Peter and the secret of Rundoon, are by Dave Barry (& Ridley Peason) Hoot by Carl Hiaasen The Series of Unfortunate Events By Lemony Snicket all are very good books! recommend them all!

I read the ones in read. And I Am not too interested in the American girl series'. But thank you for the suggestions. I will keep some in mind. I was wondering though, about "Where the Red Fern Grows" What ever happened to Samie the cat? And did 'Mama' have her baby? If it was the following spring wouldn't the baby be there already?

Howdy, Stranger!
