Not bad, forget about younger and older. Well you like Ruskin that is delicious.

[Pari {Ridhee}]

What books have you read? Ruskin Bond?

[Danielle]

Hello! I'm Dani, I am 27 and from the United States. I'm an elementary school teacher and I'd rather read than do just about anything I love. Jennifer Armetrout (Lux & Covenant series), Amy Bartol (Premonition Series), Suzanne Collins (Hunger Games) and so many more authors.

I'm afraid I am still low in number but I like what I read.

[Pari {Ridhee}]

Hello Dani. I'm also an elementary school teacher but in India. I'm afraid I haven't ever heard about the writers you've mentioned but I'm much interested in some recommendations if you may please about books regarding of education for children. I'm sorry for asking your favor but I really welcome if you do so.

My apology but I've no idea about 'potpurri'. Would you please tell me about of it. Well poetry seems little hard for me to get on but I sometime write some and they become rather scribble than poetic. I've read Gitanjali by Rabindra Nath Tagore and I really like that.

[Pari {Ridhee}]

Potpurri is a collection of stories by Ruskin Bond. I got it long time back and read it just before I joined goodreads. It was a good book. I couldnt leave it. Just like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. Must say, Indian authors also have a very good way of writing.
Gitanjali... I will not be able to understand at this age and I think classics are too much for me, as I like action packed books. Nevertheless, I will read it when I grow up and see if I liked it then or not.

Oh Thanks for making me familiar to Potpurri. By the way have you gone through Amish Tripathi's The immortals of meluha and The secret of the Nagas? These are packed with action, fiction and mythological socks.

What age of kids do you teach?

As for the books, right now the Lux series is my favorite. Its about aliens technically, but it is so well done. Pretty much a paranormal romance. Covenant is by the same author, but that is about kids who are decedents from the greek gods.

Premonition is a series about Angels.

And The Hunger Games is a dystopian story about kids meant to fight to the death as "punishment" for a rebellion that happened 74 years ago.

[Chad]

I didn't like the Hunger games trilogy.

[Irene]

Aha! So i'm not the only one who wasn't completly in love with them (that may be due to someone blowing them out of porportion for me and then spoiling it so...).

[Chad]

;) YAY!

The second book just had to much talking, not enough action!

[Sam]

Heyyy!(: im Sammy and ill be 14 in 3 days and i live in the USA!! im in love with books obvioulsy. My favorite books ive ever read are A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Journey both by W. Bruce Cameron he's such an amazing writer! i love keeping up with movies that came from books like the Twilight Saga and The Hunger Games. and yeah im new to this website so i dont really know anything about what groups do but i guess ill figure it out!! haha, anyways im glad i joined this group!:D

[Chad]

Danielle, have you seen Jericho?

I loved that series!!!!

I was so mad when I heard they were only continuing it in comics!

I'M SOOOO MAD!

[Chad]

[Brandt]

Chad, you play ukulele and piano? Me too! And I just finished watching the show Heroes and wanted a new series to watch. I think I'll give Jericho a shot.
