The Lightning Thief
discussion
Last one to post is a winner!
I need books to read help! Like Jennifer Nielsen or Suzanne Collins type stuff maybe, any ideas?(And I'm winning until you answer....)
Okay well at least I'm winning again.
And I found a book to read, it's historical fiction which usually isn't my type and the main character is a ten year old but I actually enjoyed it, it's The War that Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
Really good book, though it's not really written towards a super mature age group. Maybe 6th or 7th grade up because it does deal with some tough topics. I definitely would recommend it though.
Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali is really good.
i found the blackthorn key series by kevin sands really good. especially the second one.

Oh I read the first book in that series (Blackthorn Key), advanced reader copy actually, but I kind of forgot about it! I should really check out the next books....But about muting notifications, I'm doing this from a computer I don't know about the app, but on my computer below the box where I am typing this comment there is a checkbox that says, "Notify me when people reply." Just click edit and choose "None" to never get notified about this chat. Hope it helped, sorry if it doesn't work with the device you're using.
Also, clicking "Edit" by "You are are following this discussion (instant email)" should work, it's just above the box where you type your comments.
Nooo it is mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Bad

Pretty good, but I've been reading books I'm not particularly interested in instead of reading books I need to read, which is frustrating...
Eva wrote: "Nope definitely winning"Now I'm winning. I'm also probably starting an infinite back and forth war between us.
I am winning now. Also, I just finished the book An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. Has anyone else? It is a really good book.
You two were winning, but now.... Well anyways, I haven't read that book. It's not really the kind of book I usually read, but I'll have to check it out!
Well I've taken the lead at least.

Yea but now I'm ahead for a little while.
Just for.... 13 hours and 31 minutes. I'm ahead now! :-)
Eva wrote: "Just for.... 13 hours and 31 minutes. I'm ahead now! :-)"And now I'm ahead.
Oof you've been ahead for awhile, but now I've taken the lead.
Eva wrote: "Oof you've been ahead for awhile, but now I've taken the lead."Yeah except here I am again. I hope you enjoyed your 14 minutes of winning.
And I hope you enjoyed your 3.
Eva wrote: "And I hope you enjoyed your 3."Sorry I'm late :) But I'm here now and... hey, guess who's winning?
Sigh. People still thinking they can win this?
Magnus wrote: "Sigh. People still thinking they can win this?"I know right, I mean, why not just use this as a chat thread instead?
LydiaMae wrote: "Magnus wrote: "Sigh. People still thinking they can win this?"I know right, I mean, why not just use this as a chat thread instead?"
True, but I still wanna win, whether it's possible or not.
*laughing at the thought that I would actually think I could long-term "win"* I don't, I just have this horrible procrastination problem so I end up here and think, well why not just win for once? I mean, when Olympic athletes set a record it usually gets broken eventually. Just think of me as the Olympic athlete of typing a message into a comment section.
It just seems sort of pointless...
But if you want a chat thread, I'll start the conversation: Top 5 Books You've Read With a Tween-Teen Main Character 1. Harry Potter
2. Keeper of the Lost Cities
3. Hunger Games
4. Greenglass House
5. Ella Enchanted
What are yours? I know that most of mine are pretty basic choices, but I can't deny that they're great books.
1. Percy Jackson2. Children of Blood and Bone
3. Divergent
4. The Wrath and the Dawn
5. I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You
Ooh all good choices. I haven't read most of them but I think I've heard of all but the last one and I want to read most of them.
Here are mine:1) PJO/HoO/Basically every Rick Riordan book ever written
2) WoF(I'm pretty sure they're approximate t(w)eenagers, as it is mentioned that Clay is one year away from being a full-grown dragon)
3) 39 Clues(Yeah, I only got into that one cuz book 1 was by Rick Riordan)
4) Universe Jumpers(by me, nowhere near finished, I'm running out of ideas, read what I have already here: https://www.goodreads.com/story/show/... , plz send halp)
5) Shadow Children
Welp this was harder than expected.
OH WAIT HOW COULD I FORGET
6) WARRIOR CATS
And Harry Potter isn't on this list cuz I've never read it. I have no shame.
Oh have you at least tried reading Harry Potter? Because if you haven't you should give it a try! But if you have and don't like it then I of course respect that and that's okay.
Eva wrote: "Oh have you at least tried reading Harry Potter? Because if you haven't you should give it a try! But if you have and don't like it then I of course respect that and that's okay."No, I haven't tried. The thickness of the books is just so intimidating.
Oh I know, but when you're reading them you don't even realize because they're so good! But if you don't want to read them that's okay.
Eva wrote: "Oh I know, but when you're reading them you don't even realize because they're so good! But if you don't want to read them that's okay."No, I don't really wanna read them. I'm perfectly happy being in just the PJO/HoO fandom, the WoF fandom, and the Warriors fandom.
Also, don't ask why I'm up at 3:30 in the morning. I don't know.

Well, that's okay! Also, it was 1:30 here lol.
So you like Wings of Fire? I've never read them, but my sister is pretty into them. It sounds sort of similar to Warriors, but with dragons, genre wise. Does that sound right? They sound pretty cool but I'm not sure if I wanna read them. Like you said, I'm perfectly fine with the fandoms I'm part of. :-)
Am I really still winning here? Wow.
So how's it going, any good books on the agenda?Two for me: Before We Were Yours and Hidden Figures.
Percy Jackson is awesome!
