Group reads and polls

[Caitlin]

Hi guys!
Whast we're hoping to start soon are some group reads. I've put up a poll for you to vote on favourite genres (if you haven't done so, it would be great to do that now) so we can decide on some starters. Here you guys can make some suggestions for a range of genres. the most popular so far is young adult, so suggest any book that you would like to read or have read in the past that you want to read again.
Also, if anyone knows some friends who love writing or have a talent in it, please invite them along- they may find the very group they were looking for.
And so, to begin, i nominate:
Divergent, by veronica roth...

[Elisar]

YES.

[Rachel]

oooo, good nomination :P

[Elisar]

I absolutely ADORED that book!

[Caitlin]

great :) any suggestions yourselves??

[Elisar]

Well, I have some:


Artemis Fowl
Hobbit
The Maze Runner

[Caitlin]

great! so, so far, we have:

[Rachel]

ummmmm, Birthmarked by Caragh O'brian? I've got it in my bookcase and it looks good. I think it's scifi/dystopian/apocalyptic :)

[Olivia]

Tolkien, Harry Potter, Philip Pullman, classics...i would highly recomend.

[Caitlin]

Yes, i adore the idea of starting off with a classic- i would recommend Narnia, but i'm reading them now. I'd love to read 'Great Expectations' but i don't know if it would suit anyone.

[Rachel]

^Yes, I need to read it!

[Christine]

Defending Andy by Marilyn Azevedo

I think we should read Fallen !! It should be realy good for boys and girls!!

[Rachel]

I've read Fallen and didn't enjoy it much. But it's a group vote and maybe I'll like it if I read it again :)

[Caitlin]

great reccomendations, thanks- but i'll only put a couple in because we don't want too much of the same genre

[§♫♪♥Delaney♥♪♫§ Wants To Help]

Ok. But all those recomendations are good for girls and boys.

[Caitlin]

yeah true, and i like how the style would appeal to many

[Rachel]

I'm on my phone and can't see them, what are they?

[§♫♪♥Delaney♥♪♫§ Wants To Help]

Really good books.

[Olivia]

i would love to read divergent! i've been meaning to read it but i've been so slow at reading lately :( i need a gud reason to read!

[Rachel]

Yeah, I need to read it too. Good suggestion :)

[§♫♪♥Delaney♥♪♫§ Wants To Help]

[Caitlin]

[§♫♪♥Delaney♥♪♫§ Wants To Help]

I know what you mean. I have book that have been there since like May.

[Caitlin]

why did you put it down??? you should finish it! doesn't it bother you when you have unfinished books/series? :D

[§♫♪♥Delaney♥♪♫§ Wants To Help]

It bothers me.

[§♫♪♥Delaney♥♪♫§ Wants To Help]

Yeah. One day you will read the whole thing.

[Caitlin]

i've been wanting to read 'Delirium' for some time now...that's another one of those books.

[L]

I love Young Adult genre and there always are new books coming out, so this would be a great genre to look for new group reads.

[Caitlin]

I agree; there are also many series in the YA genre, so I'd love to start with either YA or a classic.
Thanks everyone for voting on the 'genre' poll- it helps to collate the material. So far, YA is the most popular genre, followed by fantasy. If you haven't already voted, just go here:
