Patrick I'm confused and there are some things that I'd prefer to not have anyone pick lol. If I wanted to suggest something, I'd say read my new book!

Juana "Darkness" Duran | 25 comments thanks I was going to fast on the message and clicked on the wrong link.

Janis (janispr80) | 75 comments Thanks Cindy! For you I have chosen Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1) by Tahereh Mafi . I couldn't put this book down and can't wait to get my hands on the next book!


message 105: by Elaine (new)

Elaine (ofdustandstarlight) Thanks Zara! I do admit, my list is a little long :P
I'll probably go with Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables, #1) by L.M. Montgomery !

For you, I've chosen Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic, #1) by Sophie Kinsella if you're feeling like a little romance. If you prefer non-fiction, you can try Sybil Exposed The Extraordinary Story Behind the Famous Multiple Personality Case by Debbie Nathan which I have on my list as well, or Geisha by Mineko Iwasaki . And finally if you're feeling like continuing a series, you can read Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2) by Suzanne Collins

message 120: by Camilla (new)

Camilla (cyqua) Hi Kaylie,

For you've I've chosen The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness, which I really loved! One of the best dystopian new books I've read :)

As backups, I think you should read The Hobbit and The Fault in Our Stars
One a lovely classic (and in the cinema :) and not as "heavy" as Tolkien's other works.
The other a really gorgeus book about two young people managing to make the world a lovely place despite horrible circumstances :)

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness


message 121: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne Pringle | 120 comments Hi Melody ! My name was put in twice it seems :D

Here are your picks:

Isle of Swords (Isle of Swords, #1) by Wayne Thomas Batson (for something adventures) or The Bride Collector by Ted Dekker (for something mysterious) and lastly not a fan. Becoming a Completely Committed Follower of Jesus by Kyle Idleman (if you would like to read something non fiction)

Side note: I don't mind having 2 people for partners- more books to read ;)

Hello Camilla,
Thanks for the book suggestions! Maybe I can get through all three before the end of the month. I already have my hands on The Hobbit and Our Fault in Stars, so I'll be started those soon. (I can read a few books at once so I'll double those up). I'm really excited to read The Knife of Never Letting Go. The book has been on my to-read list for what it seems like forever and I just haven't gotten around to reading it. I am going to order it for my Kindle right now!
Second point of business,
I have a few book options for you, Camilla,Gone, The Maze Runner or my personal favorite Howl's Moving Castle. All of these books are great. Maze Runner is one of my favorite dystopian future novels, I really love the idea behind it. Gone has a great series that just gets more and more complicated and engrossing as you continue it. Howl's Moving Castle is pretty much a classic for me. I read it because of the movie and it has earned a place as one of my favorites.
Bye for now
Happy Reading!

Thanks for these, Kaylie! I think I will go for Howl's Moving Castle as my first choice - it's a classic that I've wanted to read for so long :) I'm trying not to start too many long series, so if I go for 2, I'll likely go for The Maze Runner as well :)
