SummerMoon · June 2008

So Moony is in need of making a stop to the bookstore. Is there any REALLY good books that people reccomend? They can be any genre...cept' mystery...i can't stand reading mysterys and I like them to be between young adult and adult books.

Also, preferably long ones ^-^ oh and....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE If you want to save me from insanity... DO NOT SAY TWILIGHT/ECLIPSE/NEW MOON OR W/E XDD Enough said... (:

Those were good books

"Amulet of Samerkand" Trilogy by Johnanthen Stroud (even though I've only read the 1st book XD)

Well. Do you like light, summer-y romanceish girly reading? because I do XD Then read Sarah Dessen. She has a new book out. My favorite one by her is The Truth About Forever. Also...have you read Marley & Me? You probably already have... Um. I know there's more... I'll let you know if I think of anything else.

My Sister's Keeper, and any other books by Jodi Picoult are definitely great, like dachshund said :]

Berton · June 2008

Jodi Picolut: -My sisters keeper -Plain truth -19 minutes -Vanishing acts Damn, I was going to say Twilight, but NVM Meyer: The host *cough* Anne of Green Gables series

A Mango Shaped Space -Wendy Mass White Fang -Jack London (A classic) The Alice books by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor (Its more about this girl growing up. It's really great even if they are a little short. You can even read them out of order. xD) Some in the series are: -Alice on her way Dangerously Alice -Lovingly Alice -Alice in Blunderland -Alice in-between

SunnyDaysDontLie · June 2008

Go ask Alice, and It Happened to Nancy Desperation- stephen king The warriors series Call of the Wild- Jack London

tarnish · June 2008

Sunny the Warriors series was already suggested..:/ Not many people I know liked Call of the Wild but then again they had to read it for school. lol. Maybe some books by Ray Bradbury like fahrenheit 451.

SunnyDaysDontLie · June 2008

I liked call of the wild... I know. If you post it more than once it seems like a review to me :P

Foolish · June 2008

I like Scott Westefeld's books Uglies, Pretties, Specials. Extras Was already mentioned but Peeps, The LAst Days, And His Midnighter's Series are also good. And Tamora Peirce is Amazing. If you don't mind Language in your books, I suggest David Levithan. Rachel Cohn is also good. Holly black! If you like Fantasy her book Tithe is awesome. It has a sequel, too. =] I loved Call of the wild, but I read it on my own first. you have to be prepared to get through all the figurative language and long sentences.

tarnish · June 2008

Oh how could I forget? The Sight -by David Clement-Davies The sequel is Fell. It's all about wolves ang magic. You can see a small sample taken from the book in my banner. lol. Its from the prophecy within the story. Both books are lengthy and out to keep you busy.

SunnyDaysDontLie · June 2008

Hrm Ellen and Edgar books Calvin and Hobbes The Music of Dolphins Toutching Spirit Bear (Was an AMAZING book)

SummerMoon · June 2008

thank you for all of the suggestions ^-^ My mom will think I'm crazy when I write them all down and bring the list along XD Has anyone read the Golden Compass or any of the other books that go along with it? Or at least I think that there are more than 1 book... I don't want to see the movie until I read the book..but I also don't want to waste my time reading the book unless it will be something that will interest me. :D good reviews? bad ones? anything? ^-^

SunnyDaysDontLie · June 2008

Golden Compass was not a good book- The ones I mentioned were at MY reading level- adult/young adult, but people like different things, so you may like ti.

KiteKatsumi9 · June 2008

Golden Compass - I saw the movie, the movie was pretty good. I haven't read the book series and I'm not allowed to because they're supposedly anti-religious or something. So if you'd be offended by that, I wouldn't read them (not trying to start a religious debate, just giving a warning). But the movie was good, so if the books are anything like it, they should be good too

But you know how it goes with books and movies.

Layout · June 2008

I love the Golden Compass and the movie.

There are 3 books in the Golden Compass series: The Golden Compass The Subtle Knife The Amber Spyglass I am on the Amber Spyglass.

They are good and I suggest you read them.

TopDogs1 · June 2008

The movie was decent. But like Kite said, anti-religious. Even though my family didnt want me to, I decided to read the book. But I couldnt. It was very boring. I watched the movie and it was better but still nothing worth renting or buying.

SunnyDaysDontLie · June 2008

Hijack real quick: *steals Dreams banner* Sorry. Real anti-religious, talks about killing a -religion- Not a good book/movie.

loko_carloko · June 2008

Actually, not be contradictory, I really liked the movie. It was definitely heavy, but it kept my attention and the acting was good. And while I'm not super religious, I do go to church most Sundays, so I didn't just like it because I didn't care about the anti-religious aspect ^__^ But I haven't read the books, sorry. Maybe this is a special case, where you could see the movie, since it's quicker/easier, decide if you like the general storyline, then read the books?

SummerMoon · June 2008

well since most of you have said that the books are boring, I may just go ahead and watch the movie ^-^ and if I like the movie, then I'll probably try reading the books.

thanks! ^-^
