The book version is kinda scary, yeah, but the movie has its moments as well.

LOL yeah, definitely not one to read at night. It's right there with my Stephen King, Ted Dekker, and Griffin Hayes (and a few others but those are my favorites). Definitely NOT before bedtime books.

I haven't read any by Stephen King or any of the authors you mentioned (I only read YA, lol)

I started Lovely Bones and it ended up on my Did Not Finish list. It just got too depressing for me. And the same for the movie. I started it and couldn't finish it.

Not that that's a bad thing, but you are missing out on so very much! Stephen King is awesome, Griffin Hayes I know quite well an he's another fantastic author. Ted Dekker is a christian horror writer and damned good at his job.

Well, I was reading Stephen King before I was 18 *cough* I was reading a lot of things before I was 18 but then again I was on a college reading level before I hit high school.

I couldn't stomach the 1st 2. This one however... was MUCH better in my humble opinion.

I was on college reading level since 7th grade... but I just prefer YA books and fiction. I'm not one for Nonfiction or Adults usually, even though my mom tries to make me read them (fail)

Understandable. I would however, highly recommend Stephen King, Ted Dekker and Griffin Hayes (though they are not for bed time reading)

I just finished Every Day by David Levithan and it was pretty good! I've heard raving reviews on it, and I liked it, but didn't love it. I think I was having trouble suspending my disbelief for the whole concept.

Next I think I'm reading Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy, #1) by Jennifer Estep

My 15 year old daughter used to hate to read. It was like pulling teeth! When she hit about 7th grade, though, she started to love it. And I realized, she just didn't really like the MG content. She reads lots of thrillers. She loves Stephen King! But she'll read YA too. She really loves the I Am Number Four series and Lauren Oliver's books. And just about any Dystopian book!

My roommate's daughter is 9 and LOVES to read. She isn't old enough for Stephen King, but we are reading Magic Treehouse books together and we both just started the first book in the Kingdom Keeper's series - which is FANTASTIC! She has however read Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series (all but book #3)


message 1571: by Kate (new)

Kate just finished The Girl in the Clockwork Collar (Steampunk Chronicles, #2) by Kady Cross and i really liked it and can't wait for The Girl with the Iron Touch (The Steampunk Chronicles, #3) by Kady Cross

Caedy  Eries (karida) | 151 comments I think, there are like 50 out, look them up here, they are all pretty much listed.

It is actually really, really good. And with me being all but a Florida Native, it's cool. Disney after dark and all.

It will also, as seen in my current status update, reinforce the fact that "It's a Small World" is the EVILEST ride ever created.

I'm in a book slump right now. I'm reading a few different ones but nothing that's grabbing me and keeping my interest for any length of time. Maybe because none are YA. Yea, that's it. I need YA. In particular, a new dystopian, maybe 2nd in a series. Due to release in a few weeks! ;). **hint, hint** -- David!?
