message 601: by Miss Amelia (new)

Miss Amelia (missameliatxva) It's not "squeaky" clean - there's like PG-level language in it, and a few action scenes that are a little violent in nature (battle/fight scenes between the good guys and nasty, scary creatures) but nothing gratuitous, like in THE IRON KING.

And no sex at all - no sexual content (scenes) and no talking about sex, either, like in WICKED LOVELY.

I'd recommend it instead. :P

That's completely rubbish. Does it really? (hahaa, if you'll excuse my Britishness there. I've been watching a bunch of Doctor Who lately- it's Brilliant! hahaa)

thanks. I know that some people hate certain boks and some people love those books. Though I do hate having to stop in the middle of a book- it's annoying. So I try and determine what I think of a book early on if possible so I can avoid leaving in the middle.

It did in my copy! There were at least two pages, I think more, of quotes on people saying how wonderful it was, and that was one of them. What.eva.

Lindsey | 505 comments I just finishedThe Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare It was REALLY good. It was also intresting because it is historical fiction and I havn't studied that some of the things that happen in the book. I liked it alot ( :

It is. middle school ain't that repititive and boring. Right now, I think my own groups drama this past year was more exciting than 'These Boots'. So right now I'm hoping that the next one isn't as terrible.

Yeah. I got an ARC of it, so it was paperback, but I'd actually like a hardback :P
Ohh Jillian, I think you will LOVE IT! It's seriously one of my favorite YA novels OF ALL TIME. :D

Baxter (julietrocksmysocks) | 383 comments War and Peace

As much as I love this book (seriously, it's friggin' fantastic) I think I'm going to move to something else for a while. My attention-span does not allow for anything more than 300 pages at the moment.

I have War and Peace at home, Baxter. Though i doubt i will get to reading it for another good couple of years.

Amelia, you liked Sabriel? Would you recommend it?

And I saw Tyssa, you finished The Adoration of Jenna Fox. What did you think of it. I read, and thought it was amazing for the first quarter, but then completely dropped of. I gave it 2.
Id love to know what you thought?


Right now i am reading Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness.
Its the final book in the CHAOS WALKING trilogy.
Let me just say: it. is. Ah-mazing!!!! On every possible level. The series *easily* fits into my top 5.

Miss Amelia (missameliatxva) I'm about to start Uglies has anyone read that one?

I really want to read HUNGER GAMES, but I've been told to read UGLIES first and save HG (which I've heard is *better*) for last. So that's the strategy


message 632: by Rebekah Faith (new)

Rebekah Faith (musicalradiance) | 6788 comments I've read Uglies (though idk about hte other 3- still haven't gotten my hands on 'em. hahaa), and I thought it was pretty good.

I really liked that series too!! Except I never finished the last book... They were definitely not as well known as Hunger Games is, and they are WAY different too, but if you havn't read HG you should, GREAT author!


message 634: by *Mrs. Brightside* (new)

*Mrs. Brightside* Lol. Thats the way they are(: Im now reading Fallen
