Books We Want to Read

[Madilyn]

I can't wait to read it!! It's taking the library forever to get it to me though. Like 3 months :(

[Tamara]

That's awful! You should just buy it, it's definitely worth it! :)

[Madilyn]

I'm really considering it now

[Madilyn]

But I figure as soon as I buy it it'll come to the library! That always happens to me XD

[Tamara]

Lol, yeah, isn't that so annoying?

The Isle of the Lost
Here is the summary from goodreads-

Twenty years ago, all the evil villains were banished from the kingdom of Auradon and made to live in virtual imprisonment on the Isle of the Lost. The island is surrounded by a magical force field that keeps the villains and their descendants safely locked up and away from the mainland. Life on the island is dark and dreary. It is a dirty, decrepit place that's been left to rot and forgotten by the world.

But hidden in the mysterious Forbidden Fortress is a dragon's eye: the key to true darkness and the villains' only hope of escape. Only the cleverest, evilest, nastiest little villain can find it...who will it be?

Maleficent, Mistress of the Dark: As the self-proclaimed ruler of the isle, Maleficent has no tolerance for anything less than pure evil. She has little time for her subjects, who have still not mastered life without magic. Her only concern is getting off the Isle of the Lost.

Mal: At sixteen, Maleficent's daughter is the most talented student at Dragon Hall, best known for her evil schemes. And when she hears about the dragon's eye, Mal thinks this could be her chance to prove herself as the cruelest of them all.

Evie: Having been castle-schooled for years, Evil Queen's daughter, Evie, doesn't know the ins and outs of Dragon Hall. But she's a quick study, especially after she falls for one too many of Mal's little tricks.

Jay: As the son of Jafar, Jay is a boy of many talents: stealing and lying to name a few. Jay and Mal have been frenemies forever and he's not about to miss out on the hunt for the dragon's eye.

Carlos: Cruella de Vil's son may not be bravest, but he's certainly clever. Carlos's inventions may be the missing piece in locating the dragon's eye and ending the banishment for good.

Mal soon learns from her mother that the dragon's eye is cursed and whoever retrieves it will be knocked into a deep sleep for a thousand years. But Mal has a plan to capture it. She'll just need a little help from her "friends." In their quest for the dragon's eye, these kids begin to realize that just because you come from an evil family tree, being good ain't so bad.

The movie Descendants from Disney is based of the book. I think the movie might come out this summer.

[Haley]

That looks really good!!

[avery joy]

Has anyone read Gone? If so, I want to know if it was interesting and appropriate...The story sounds really cool but I didn't know if it would be violent...Thanks!

[Haley]

Nope...

DUDE! I just got this book the other day! And I want to read it soon!!

[avery joy]

Awesom! You'll have to tell me how it is!

[Haley]

:) Yes!!!

[Haley]

I am so excited to read the Heir by Kiera Cass and Dauntless !! They just got to my library!!!

[Zoë]

I'm really excited to read The Heir too!!! I've got it on hold XD

not yet but it's on my list! My friend bought it so I will read it when she is done. I love anything Disney related but I will say I've read books by that author I wasn't crazy about. So we will see.

I still have to read The One. Will start it after I finish Allegiant hehe

[avery joy]

The selection series looks pretty good! I'm kinda worried about too much romance. I don't want anything inappropriate... Has anyone read it?

[Zoë]

Yes it's not too innapropriate. There are lots of kisses and some extreme kissing. There are two instances in the series (not including The Heir) where it's nearly s*x but there's no nudity or anything. Just a lot of severe kissing. But other than that, it's a great series!!! :D :D :D

[avery joy]

Okay thanks.

[Haley]

The Selection series is very good!!

[Tamara]

I just got the first book at the library. I don't think it's the kind of story I like, but I'll tell you what I think. :)

AGREE

[Chanel]

Is it Christian ???

[Zoë]

Chanel wrote: "Is it Christian ???"

no :( but it does kind of have a similar story to that of Esther in the Bible. However, I do not think that the author is Christian or intended for it to be that way :(

[Tamara]

It doesn't sound like it would be.

[Zoë]

it doesn't sound like it would be what?

[Tamara]

Christian

[Haley]

Well I just finished The Heir and LOVED it!!! I am so excited for her next book. This one leaves off in a HUGE cliff hanger!!

[Zoë]

yikes! I really can't wait to read that one!!!

I also just ordered Moonblood, Dragonwitch, and Shadow Hand in the Tales of Goldstone Woods series and also The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest. I'm sooo excited for them all to arrive!! :D And my little sister bought An Uncertain Choice, so I'm also excited to read that one after her :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[avery joy]

I'm dying to read the second book in the swipe series! I think it's sneak...I put it on hold at the library but it hasn't arrived yet :(

[Haley]

I am so excited for Uncertain Choice and Huntress of Thornbeck Forest!!!!!!!

I want to read so many books...as in, 30+ pages in a notebook* are filled with to-read books.
*The notebook is small, so it's not as many as it seems, but there are still a lot of titles.

[M.K.]

Yeah girl!! I will root u on!! Haha. Reading is awesome(;

[[deleted user]]

Thanks. :)
The one I REALLY feel like buying/reading is 19 Varieties of Gazelle: Poems of the Middle East. I've never read anything set in the Middle East and I hardly ever read poetry, so it'll be...interesting.

[M.K.]

Oooh!!! Lemme know how it is!!, That does sound interesting!!!!,

[M.K.]

And ur always welcome(;

[[deleted user]]

Another one that sounds good is Un Lun Dun. :D

[Atleastreading]

My library does this 'Summer reading challenge' every year. You record how many minutes you read/how many books you read on a card. Then you turn in the card for a prize.
For my prize I chose a book.
The synopsis sounded very intriguing, so I was just wondering if anyone has ever read The Raven Boys and if so, was it any good?
