Miss Amelia (missameliatxva) ohhh ive heard so many *bad* things about that series, lol. i think im gonna skip them

Miss Ryoko (missryoko) | 349 comments Well, I'll let you know what I think Amelia when I read them. I think there are 5 out now, but I don't want to start reading them until most of them are out (like we've discussed previously :~p)


message 27: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments if my library has the first, i'll prob start reading the series, if not, it may be a while. :D


message 28: by Kelsey (new)

Kelsey (musicfreak) | 41 comments How long did it take to make that list?


message 29: by Kelsey (new)

Kelsey (musicfreak) | 41 comments Is the Cirque De Freak Series good?


message 30: by Miss Ryoko (new)

Miss Ryoko (missryoko) | 349 comments My brother LOVES that series and he hates reading, so they must be pretty good. I read a bit of the first one and I didn't like the style of dumb down writing, but then again, I haven't read them so don't take my word. I have, however, read the 2 mangas that are out so far for the series and I liked them! So I'm sure the written series is pretty good


message 31: by Miss Amelia (new)

Miss Amelia (missameliatxva) my brothers really like ARTEMIS FOWL, the WARDSTONE books (which I'm constantly talking about--sorry!) PJ and the LOOKING GLASS WARS. and then hayden really liked HUNGER GAMES but hutton didnt... so idk about that series--the family is divided!


message 32: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (flyinglogicmonkey) | 2426 comments Looking Glass Wars is great. (I haven't read the sequels, yet)


message 33: by Miss Amelia (new)

Miss Amelia (missameliatxva) I bet you'll like them, thought the 1st is my favorite by far :D


message 34: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments If you don't like Hunger Games, I might shoot you (or myself, i haven't decided).
my bro has at least the first looking glass wars book, but i haven't read it yet


message 35: by Miss Amelia (new)

Miss Amelia (missameliatxva) i bet you'll like it!!!!
im like 90% convinced you'll like it :D


message 36: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments :D


message 37: by Ella (new)
