I am in need of some good books to read, as i am home schooled and need an idea of what books to buy at the store. <br>I pretty much read anything interesting, so if you have any books that you have liked just list them. :]<br>And i am in need of ideas for story ideas, as i love to write.<br>Thanks. :D

    If you're into ghost stories Heat Shaped Box by Joe Hill is amazing. Well, I thought it was anyway. My other friend refused to finish it. But shes just another 'I only like vampire love stories since Twilight came out' person.

    Impulse, Crank, Burned, Glass (by Ellen Hopkins)
    <br><br>Those are for a little more mature readers just so you know. They are also written in a different way. It's almost like poetry. I started reading these when I was 15. I just haven't read Glass yet.<br><br><br>The Alice books by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor are good. The first one in the series is Beginning with Alice, I think. As the books go on she gets older. It goes from gradeschool to her in highschool and as you read it gets more mature but I think they are fine since I read them maybe around 11-13. <br><br>Warriors by Erin Hunter is a series I love even if its about cats that live in clans in the wild. xD It is below my reading level but I still enjoy them. <br>^-^<br><br>I will have more ideas later after I glance at my collection. xD

    If you're into your fantasy novels then I know a few good ones. (These titles I have read over and over.)<br><br>The Farseer Trilogy - Robin Hobb<br>The Liveship Traders Trilogy - Robin Hobb<br>The Tawny Man Trilogy - Robin Hobb<br>(The Tawny man is the follow up to the Farseer, but the Liveships kinda links in aswell. But the Liveship isn't essential to read to keep the plot of the others, if you know what I mean? :shock: )<br><br>The Belgariad - David/Leigh eddings<br>The Mallorean - David/Leigh Eddings<br>(These two are both a series of 5 books each and they DO follow on)<br>The Elenium - David/Leigh Eddings<br>The Tamuli - David/Leigh Eddings<br>(These are both a trilogy and follow on from each other)<br>The Redemption of Althalus - David/Leigh Eddings<br><br>Can you tell I have certain favorite authors? lol<br><br>Also, if you like animal/fantasy books<br><br>The Wolves of Time - Journeys to the heartland - William Horwood<br>The Wolves of Time - Seekers at the Wulfrock - William Horwood<br>(These two follow on from each other, I have read these books SO many times I can almost quote entire passages from them. Well worth a read if you like that kind of thing. I read both books in about 2 days)<br><br>Ok, thats it. I'll shut up now :)<br><br>PS. I have that same red nose rhoesia lol.

    I don't know if you want an extremely long list or not, but I will tell you some of the ones I am in the process of reading. (I am in the process of reading 5 books, so...) I like animal books, so those are practically the only ones I read. <br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline">All Creatures Great and Small</span> by James Herriot (all of his books are good)<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline">Marley and Me</span> by John Grogan<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline">Dewey</span> by Vicki Myron<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline">Tahn</span> by L.A. Kelly<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline">Amazing Gracie</span> by Dan Dye and Mark Beckloff<br><br>And I have to agree with tarnish that the Warriors series by Erin Hunter is very good.
