Roselinta Hi. I'm a new member here. you're discussions are very interesting. I'm reading Die for Me, The Iron King and August at the same time. But it's the summer holidays so I have a lot of free time on my hands. So I hope to get a lot of recommendations. And because of my birthday tomorrow, my parents know what the're getting me! LOTS AND LOTS OF BOOKS!

L | 1252 comments all these new people :) Em, Danette and Jennifer it is so lovely to meet you! I am always happy to give book recomendations...all you have to do is pick a genre and i can produce a list (i tend to read all genres). x

I have just finished reading 'the wishing stone' by Terry Tyler & would recomend it to older readers x

message 113: by Tatum (new)

Tatum I'm new and not reading any of the books y'all are discussing here soo...

I'm currently rereading the Mortal Instruments series so I'm not confused when I read the latest one,City Of Lost Souls.

I love The Hunger Games. Like, die hard fan. I even have a devoted Twitter account for it so let me know if you like THG and have a Twitter:)

I also REALLY love The Vampire Academy series as well as the Spin off, Bloodlines.
Percy Jackson's good, Beautiful Creatures is good(Yet I need to get better at getting a hold of the books), Matched yet I need to read the second book, Firelight yet I need to read the second book but yeah.
I'm a teen so YA all the way but I'm also in school so it's hard

I feel your pain! Balancing school as well as books is very hard!!

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS!!!!!!!!!! :D Hehe, have you read the Infrenal Devices by Cassandra Clare?

I also loveeee the hunger games!! I saw the movie 4 times and cannot wait for the dvd!

Vampire Academy/Bloodlines is one of my favorite series of all time!!!!!!!!

I also love Percy Jackson and Matched! Have you read the Percy Jackson spin off: The Heroes of Olympus? And I loved Matched but the second one isn't as good in my opinion

We have a TON of favorite books in common! Can't wait to talk about them with you :)

L | 1252 comments Goodreads is such a fantastic site where one is able to converse with so many likeminded people ~ including getting in touch with authors, whom you wouldn't be able to if not (a real treat!!) and also making lots of friends.


message 130: by Anna (new)

Anna Wood-Gaines (annabanana13) | 1674 comments Of course!! And Lucinda's very right! Goodreads is such a great place to be able to freely discuss books and completely fangirl over them :)

I'm really not sure ... what do you have in mind? / what genres do you prefer?

I was just scrolling through your TBR shelf and these are ones I am very interested about.

- Name of the Wind
- Uglies
- The Scorpio Races
- I am the Messenger
- Grave Mercy
- Splintered
- Unwind
- Ender's Game
- 1984
- More Than This
- Eleanor and Park
- On the jellicoe road
- Let it Snow


message 138: by Lady Poppy (new)

Lady Poppy | 367 comments Okay! :D

Those are all really good sounding! I'd rather read any of the choices from (and including) Uglies to Ender's Game. Take your pick :)

message 141: by Elevetha (new)

Elevetha  | 384 comments Cool!! What genre are you thinking? Or any specfic book in mind? I compared our books and we have a few we both haven't read, though I'm cool with re-reading one. Or whatever:)

I'm up for reading any genre! I have The Princess Bride, Great Expectations, and Romeo and Juliet (from both our to-read shelves) lying somewhere around the house, but I could probably get a hold of any book. Do you have any specific books in mind? I'm also up for re-reading :D

All right! Hmmm. Possibly The Princess Bride? Otherwise, I'd love to re-read The Blue Castle or The Book of Three or Sorcery & Cecelia: or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot ooor (not a re-read) Foundling.

Anything strike your fancy?

They all sound so interesting!! Since Foundling is not a re-read for both of us, would you like to go with that? :D
