886144 I'm planning to read all the Pendragon books. I still have to get around to reading Breaking Dawn. I'm going to read the first book in the Hollow Kingdom series, and if I like it I'll read the other ones. I'm also working on reading The Once and Future King.

301866 I plan on reading Breaking Dawn and I'm still finishing up Pretties and Marley and Me.

568109 I just finished "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. Also for the past few weeks I have been reading "Jane Eyre" the e-book a little at a time since I can only read it when I have time to sit at the computer for a while. Now I need a new book, but I'm not sure what will be next.

1263221 The Lightning Thief, The Rules of Survival, The Road

886144 I <3 THE LIGHTNING THIEF!!! :D

568109 Ashley-I loved "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Sociey" even so much that I think of it as one of my all time favorites.With all the reading I have done about Nazi Germany, and the War it was nice to have this as a picture of post war times and from the little talked about occupation of Guernsey.

136658 Brigid, I just finished the latest 2 Pendragon books, they were brilliant!!!

998761 I am reading The Grand Tour, a book using the "letter game" technique. The first one (Sorcery and Cecelia or the ...of the Mysterious Chocolate Pot) was enchanting. The premise behind this "game" is that one author writes another author a letter in which they give the setting and character names for author 1's character (in context, of course). Author 2 responds in kind addressing the things that author 1 mentioned and giving a context/setting/character for author 2. The characters continue to correspond creating a VERY entertaining story. The only rule is that the characters cannot actually meet in the story. There are three books in the series so far. I find them delightful.

1421239 I just finished the Sherman Alexie book that won the National Book Award: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Fantastic! This is one of the best YA books I've read recently. I also read Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely which was completely engrossing. I couldn't put either of them down -they kept calling to me.


message 13: by Angie, YA lovin mod!! (new)

86285 C. Leigh, a few months ago Alexie's book was our book club pick. You will have to check out our discussions on it and add your own!

257698 I'm reading New Moon by Stephenie Meyer


message 15: by ♥ Brigid ♥ (new)

886144 cool! :D


message 16: by C. (new)

1421239 I'm *patiently* waiting for New Moon to come in at my library, Ashley...and in the meantime I've picked up Frank Beddor's "The Looking Glass Wars," which I've been anxious to read.


message 17: by Lisa (new)

83445 Right now I'm reading the novel Tomato Girl and I'm really enjoying it. It's an adult novel but could be read by ya; it's told first person by an eleven year old girl. It does have dark themes.


message 18: by Candace (new)

1388446 I am a bit late on this topic... but so far for September I have read...

Breaking Dawn (again)
The Goose Girl
The Five People You Meet In Heaven
The Candy Shop Wars

I plan to read...

Fablehaven
The B of M

I am also on a waiting list at the library for a few. So, if I get any of those ones, I will be reading those as well.

723074 You've read breaking dawn twice?! @_@


message 20: by Angie, YA lovin mod!! (last edited Sep 12, 2008 11:51AM) (new)

86285 Breaking Dawn is my least favorite.


message 21: by ♥ Brigid ♥ (new)

886144 i still have to read it...


message 22: by lisa (new)

1321308 Right now I'm reading "The Book of Lost Things" by John Connolly, which I found in the adult section of the library, but which really reads as a YA novel. So far, so good. I suppose in a sense it is a combination thus far of "Coraline" (parental neglect, lonely child, using imagination as escape) and "Stardust" (squeezing through a secret entrance into a enchanted forest). Other books I've read as of late are:
"Slam" by Nick Hornby (5 stars)
"The Color Purple" by Alice Walker (5 stars)
"Teacher Man" by Frank McCourt (5 stars)
"Gossamer" by Lois Lowry (1 lonely star)

Please read my reviews!!


message 23: by Candace (new)

1388446 Yes, I have read it twice and am reading it to my husband so I will have read it a third time when we are done.

Twilight is still my favorite from the series. I just love the character development that she uses. I know it is kind of ametur writing, there are ton of typos and other things that bother me, but I love the story and characters. They are my favorite books.

1263221 I just finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.(Beware, there is quite a bit of violence in this futuristic, dystopian tale) It is my favorite read so far this year, I couldn't put it down. Also a quick but interesting read, Genesis Alpha by Rune Michaels.


message 26: by Lisa (new)

83445 Marie, I loved The Hunger Games even though I don't usually like a lot of violence.


message 27: by lisa (new)

1321308 About half way into "Nick and Norah" right now. Really liking it.


message 28: by Candace (new)

1388446 Ok, I finished Fablehaven (and really liked it). Still working on the B of M. Now I am reading The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. If my library books are not in yet I will probably just finish out the Narnia series.


message 29: by Marie (last edited Feb 25, 2009 03:40AM) (new)

1263221 Neal Gaiman's The Graveyard Book just came in for me, Woohoo!
