Definitely Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, and Lord of the Flies is pretty good.

I think Little Women is on my TBR list. Thanks!

[Maya]

Lord of the Flies was one of my only DNFs, i found it very slow

[Samiksha]

I want to read Lord of the Flies to see how it is

[Maya]

yeah I might try to re read it again soon. The first time I attempted to read it was during a reading slump, so that might be the reason as to why I didn’t enjoy it

[The Jesus Fandom]

I already know humans are inherently bad, I don't need to spend 5 hours being annoyed by some obnoxious little boys to prove it

[Maya]

factss though

[Samiksha]

lolllllllll

Oh! I'm reading the Inheritance Games right now!! It's so good! If you like that, I think you would like the Charlotte Holmes series by Brittany Cavallaro. Which is mystery too, and it's also really good and entertaining. I think it would help you out of a reading slump, maybe try it!!

[~ameliaclaire~, Co-President]

You should try The Naturals. It’s pretty good.

[݁⋆๋⊹Amber⊹ ݁ ˖, Games and Challenges Manager]

Oh isn't that series also by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, the same author as the Inheritance Games? Good idea! I think I might want to read that too!

[EdenB15, General Manager]

Legendborn is great

[~ameliaclaire~, Co-President]

I’ve read the first 2 1/2 of the series and it’s great so far

YALL LIESTEENNN do any of yall have wierd teachers??? My teacher is an IDIOT ok?? Not to be rude to “elders“ or whatever but the guy is a TERRIBLE teacher. The class was queit for once and he be like“ GREAT JOB LETS KEEP UP THE SLNICE!!!“ he was ACTULLY yelling. And , as teenagers and normal human beings, we all started talking in the nxt 2 secounds. There are a TON of example where he thinks he is being cool and making a “ryme“ like “RESPCET THE SILNCE“ and he says it real deep and like its froma lyrics so u can just hear everyone saying it in the halway / and or somebody talk in class.

[ikallam]

OO also some book recomenations would be Cinderalla is Dead and Skullduggrey Pleasnt.

Yall this place looks SAD!! * looks at cobwebs in the corners of the room and the run down sofas* WHY HAS NOBODY BEEN IN HERE FOR LIKE 6 MONTHS?? Here ill start up a converstaion😎 Hmmm how many times do u change ur profile pic in Goodreads??

[݁⋆๋⊹Amber⊹ ݁ ˖, Games and Challenges Manager]

Lol. Um I have only officially changed it like twice. Occasionally I try out different things, but usually I stick with stuff for a while. My first ever pfp on goodreads was the aurora borealis. Then I changed it to a gatcha life version of me in a library that I made, and I had that one for a few more months, and recently I changed it again to be a deer-girl looking thing. So, I guess not too often.

[bungisngis]

ive had this pfp since i joined gr lol

[Samiksha]

Lolll i can't change my pfp coz of my author profile

[Maya]

I’ve changed mine a few times. Originally I had it set as the book cover of the book I was reading at the time which was ‘A Darkness at Sethanon’ and then I think that I had it set to me in a strawberry hat for a few days. Then a picture with me and my guitar;) then a picture of me dressed as Wendy from The Shining for Halloween, and now I have it set as a picture from a painting I finished this time last year.

[Maya]

@Samiksha, wait so will you ever be able to change your profile pic or do you have to keep it for the rest of the time that you have this goodreads account??

[Kayla]

Hey! So I joined this group not too long ago, how can you tell if someone replied to your comment/wrote something you haven’t seen yet? I’m sorta new so it’s saying a lot of the topics are unread. Is there a way to make everything read so I’ll only have the unread with new messages? This might make no sense, sorry ahaha

I get you. I think you have to click all the topics lol

Well, I can change it if it's approved and my face.

[Kayla]

LOL OKKK
Guess I’ll be spending the next hour clicking each topic 🥳🥳

I personally really did not like Lord of the Flies, the ending ruined it for me! The whole book felt slow too, like you say

I haven't read any classics yet. ..."

Dystopian classics are a good place to start, 1984 and Brave New World are good. Also Little Women, The Yellow Wallpaper, some Virginia Woolf (Orlando is a fun read and a good place to start with Woolf) can be good for getting into classics :)

[~ameliaclaire~, Co-President]

Oooo, those are some good ones!

Quick question for everyone: What do you think about e-readers or kindles and such? I am so torn because I love paper but there is something also nice about my kindle

[Emma]

Oh I absolutely LOVE my kindle!!

[~ameliaclaire~, Co-President]

I prefer physical books. Mostly because if you read for hours on your kindle, it can hurt your eyes. One time, I was on my iPad for hours and I got a horrible headache and couldn’t see well for an hour. I had to take Tylenol for my headache because it was so bad.

[Maya]

I think that kindles use a different type of light than an ipad/computer/phone tho, so that doesn’t happen. I could be wrong tho- I’ve never used a kindle.

[~ameliaclaire~, Co-President]

It depends, if you use a paperwhite kindle, then your fine. But if you just use an Amazon kindle/tablet, then your eyes could be hurt. However, you can help with that by getting blue light glasses, they work really well.

[~ameliaclaire~, Co-President]

Yay!!! It's my 1 year anniversary on goodreads!

[݁⋆๋⊹Amber⊹ ݁ ˖, Games and Challenges Manager]

Yay!! Congrats!!

[Emma]

Congratulations!

Guys school is starting tomorrow again I’m not ready

[veronika ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚]

hi everyone! i am new reader so can you reccommend me some books? i want to read books like six of crows, dynamic between fantasy, drama, plottwists, action and romance. and also history by any chance. thanks :)

[݁⋆๋⊹Amber⊹ ݁ ˖, Games and Challenges Manager]

Ooooh there are a lot of good books I could recommend but if you're looking for fantasy/drama/action/romance, I'd have to say try The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani, it's six books and it's really good! I found it very entertaining. Though I'm not sure how it would compare to SoC since I haven't yet read that, but it's near the top of my tbr. But anyway, you'll probably like TSfGaE either way :D
