Okay so this is a thread where people can recommend each other books based on what the person requests! I'm looking for a good book with no love triangle, minimal romance, and lot's of action and mystery! You can ask for recommendations for yourself!

Nicole Sanglay (speckintheuniverse) 1st to Die (Women's Murder Club, #1) by James Patterson ?
I haven't really read this, but my friend insists that it's good.

I'm not really into Patterson's YA books but I'll give it a shot! Thanks! Do you want me to recommend you anything?

Nicole Sanglay (speckintheuniverse) Well, I'm looking for books like The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner or Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth

TimeRiders by Alex Scarrow. Time travel, LOTS of mystery/suspicion , very little romance in the five books so far

The Quantum Prophecy trilogy by Michael Carroll. Superheroes vs. Supervillains, lots of fights with superpowers, there's one kiss in the entire series and very little romance

It's such a good book!


message 31: by Nicole (last edited May 16, 2012 06:38AM) (new)

Nicole Sanglay (speckintheuniverse) I don't think I'll read it if it has more Madam Octa scenes. I'll just stick to the Cirque Du Freak series :P


message 32: by Jon, The Paperback Prince (new)

Jon (scottreadsit) | 5707 comments Mod
Nah Madam Octa isn't in this series!


message 33: by Aurora (last edited May 16, 2012 04:33PM) (new)

Aurora | 129 comments I stopped reading Cirque du Freak after the fourth book. I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't like the series on Goodreads.

I started watching the movie and didn't really like it, but haven't tried the books yet...


message 35: by Jon, The Paperback Prince (new)

Jon (scottreadsit) | 5707 comments Mod
The movie was okayish but the books are awesome!! I read all 13 books and 3 prequels!


message 36: by David (new)

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 373 comments wow, holy schnikes, there are that many? Geez, I don't know if I have the energy to embark on such a quest LOL


message 37: by Jay (new)

Oh it's a good series I heard yet was never intreseted in it.


message 41: by Karina (new)

Karina When I first came across Cirque Du Freak I wasn't really interested but when Scott recommended it to me I decided to give it a try and I'm loving it so far! I'm a little frustrated that i haven't been able to get my hands in the next one though. And yes its a lot of books but they are so easy and quick to read!


message 42: by Jay (new)

Jay How many books have you read in the series?


message 43: by Karina (new)

Karina only the first 3 and I'm trying to patiently wait for the fourth but it seems a lot of people want it..its always checked out! So annoying.


message 44: by Jay (new)

Jay Have you read the Demonata series?


message 45: by Karina (new)

Karina Not yet, but I will most likely read it after I'm done with Cirque Du Freak (:
