Kindle books..

edited December 2011 in General Discussion
I am planning on getting a kindle soon, but I have no idea on what books to get. Currently I am trying to expand from my "comfort" zone of books I normally read. So If there is any idea of a book you believe is good please comment. I plan to get <span style="font-weight:bold"> The Giver </span>and to also update myself on the Warrior series

  • You should try the Wolves of Mercy falls series (Shiver, Linger, and Forever) It's a teen romance, I actually read it by accident, because it is about wolves (werewolves to be exact..) and I hadn't realized it was romance.. But they are incredible books. Not much different than the RPG's you participate in, really..

  • Yep! Looked really good. I'm afraid they're going to ruin it. Great book, I didn't read the other two. <br><br>They're coming out with a Shiver movie in 2012, I'm really excited for that.. Chomping at the bit. I've even chosen the actors I want! XD

  • I read and own them all! I love it! If they ruin the book...urg! They have messed with the wrong kiwi fruit! <br><br>Really!?! Well I better start on those books! Have you ever heard of the book Nightfang? I haven't gotten a chance to read it, but I heard it was good..

  • I started Catching Fire, but my Languags Arts teacher made me feel rushed, so I said I finished it and wasn't impressed and don't want to read the last one. I really wanted to read them, though..<br><br><br>You definitely should! Then I'll be able to talk about them with somebody! Nobody listens.. XD

  • Even if you don't get a Kindle.. You should buy the books. They're amazing, I just borrowed them from the library, but I want the set. <br><br>And I know, right? He kept asking me what page I was on, and when I hadn't made much progress, he would freak out so..
    FrostBite_zpsab645aba.png
  • Yea! I will :) They sound good! <br><br><br>Rawr! You should read the books, but you don't need to rush...

  • I'd recommend these:<br>The Sweep Series by Cate Tierman (costs much less to read it in print format, but it's an incredible series)<br>Obernewtyn Chronicles by Isobelle Carmody (SimStar actually introduced me to this one.)<br>Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin <br>Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin<br>Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit<br>Into the Land of the Unicorns (Unicorn Chronicles) by Bruce Coville<br>The Black Stallion series by Walter Farley<br>The Phantom Stallion series by Terri Farley<br><br>There's an amazing series with the main characters being bats -- it's put out by Kenneth Oppel and I believe the first book in the series is titled Silverwing. <br><br>I also like almost anything by Dean Koontz, James Patterson, and Stephen King, but it really depends upon how well you tolerate mystery/horrors/thriller type books. Specific titles from any of the above that I've found to enjoy: Tick Tock, By the Light of the Moon, Misery, Rose Madder, Pet Sematary (spelled like that), Relentless, Dragon Tears, Watchers, and a lot more. Some of them aren't as creepy, disturbing, or as scary as others, but again it just depends upon whether you like that type of stuff.

    On an indefinite hiatus.
  • Wow! Thanks! I'm about to go to bed, but tommorrow I will look up those books. Most of them sound extremly intresting. I can't say I handle Horror books very well, but I love mysteries.

  • I love Maximum Ride :) Its kinda of a err I can't explain so a description I've stolen from elsewhere will have to do:<br>
    Maximum Ride is a series of young adult science fiction and fantasy novels by American author James Patterson. The series chronicles the lives of six fugitive kids – Max, Fang, Iggy, Gasman, Nudge, and Angel – known collectively as the Flock. Bred in a laboratory called the School, they endured scientific experiments that rendered them 98% human and 2% avian.<br>In the first three books of the series, the Flock spends much of their time running from human-lupine hybrids (called Erasers) created by the School. Book 4 is mainly about the Flock rising against global warming, whereas Book 5 is about saving Dr. Martinez while battling environmental pollution. Book 6 is about rescuing Fang, and Book 7 is about stopping the Doomsday Group from destroying the world's population of non-mutated humans. The books are divided into two sets: The Fugitives (books 1–3) and The Protectors (books 4–7). The series shares a few similarities with two of Patterson's previous books, When the Wind Blows and The Lake House.<br>Patterson recently announced that the series would end with an eighth book in February 2012. Patterson said the eighth book will be titled Nevermore, as announced at his book talk for charity at Lincoln Hall
    <br><br><br>The 8th book will be its last :) and if you dont want to read them all the first 3 are my favorites and four is kinda bad but they've gotten better again xD

  • Tattoo Faeries series is quite good (you can get all of them on kindle) <br>The Millennium Series (quite good crime drama books and full of mystery) Films are already out (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire & The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest)<br>The Host (one of my fave books by Stephanie Meyer)<br><br>Also there are so many free books on the kindle and you can get special offers where some books are free on a certain day. I read a free book called 'You've Gone Too Far This Time Sir' which was quite fun, never got to the end of it lol.<br><br>Some of the free books are classic and some are new, and you can find so many.
