I rode Harry Potter: The Philosopher's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire, The Order of the Phoenix.
And currently reading The Half-Blood Prince.

Yeah, kind of re-reading.

Lol i dont know if anyone was pleased, He said he will revisit Alagaesia in the future, Im hoping he writes faster and better next time.

Also let me know if The Hunger Games are any good if you start reading the series. Looking for something new to read in the near future

Right! That ending really shocked me, I had to reread it after I was done to see the transitions when it changed from her then her "sister", she did an amazing job. It's really hard to find a book that I enjoy reading. If you get the book before I do let me know how it is :)! She has an adult book out called triangles too, :( I'm so behind lol

Is that the same author of Crank? Loved that book.

Last book I read was Morpheus Road: The Light by DJ MacHale (my favorite author!)
It's his new series, since he completed the Pendragon books. I'm getting impatient waiting for the 2nd book...
Before that I read the Hunger Games trilogy and before that I re-read Harry Potter.

Cara

01-23-2012, 12:59 PM

Kristin yes indeed :3 !! Have you read glass? or fallout? ;o 2nd and 3rd parts of Crank :3!

Victoria I will let you know :3 !

Victoria

01-23-2012, 01:00 PM

What?! I didn't know he made more books after the pendragon series!!! I have every single pendragon book, those were amazing too!! I was actually depressed for a few days cause i realized after i read the 10th book, there wouldnt be anymore D:. And yes shes the author who wrote crank :).

Kristin

01-23-2012, 01:06 PM

Cara
No I never read any more of the series because my mom made me return Crank after I bought it. :(

Victoria
I had no idea either! I was just randomly in the library and the book caught my eye. He just started writing this new series in 2011. I almost had a heart attack! I'm like a crazy DJ MacHale fan girl. I read the book in 1 night! It's really different from the pendragon books, it's more scary, but soooo good! And there are some funny pendragon references too.

Victoria

01-23-2012, 01:19 PM

Haha if I had the monies I would totally go out and buy those books right now. They are old books but The Bartimaeus Trilogy's are really good. First book is called The Amulet of Samarkand. It's by Johnathan Stroud.

Well in 7th period in my literature class YESTERDAY, we had to get a book and write a summary about it so I just grabbed this random book called The House on Mango Street (Forgot who it was by) and it was about this girl named Esperanza who moves with her family to a house on Mango Street.

The Great Gatsby. It was terrible. Analyzing every little detail of the book that even Fitzgerald would be bored.

The Lost Hero and The Son of Neptune. Epci Sequels to the percy Jackson Series. It teaches you A LOT about ancient Greece/Rome.

I know the author said that was the last book, does he plan on adding more? And I know, he writes so damn slow.

I think ill buy the hunger games, tried reading lotr but its way too boring. Good as a movie but not as a book xD

Like a true nerd doing a good job in school the last book I read was: The Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory by Howard Eichenbaum. Very easy read, so little depth into the material which made it a nice break from my usual books I have to read.

That doesn't sound exciting at all D: My dad once told me if you can't fall asleep go and read a science text book and that it works better then any sleeping pill xD

lol I have a fascination with neuroscience so the book itself was a good one to me but science doesn't put me to sleep, it gets me thinking more and keeps me up. If I want to be bored I will pick up a Cosmo magazine or one of my sister's other celeb magazines. Those are lame so that usually does the trick.

Mom's Marijuana by Dan Shapiro
(of course the giant pot leaf on the cover attracted me)
I would defs recommend this book to everyone. it's not so much about weed; it's about a man diagnosed with Hodgkins disease (a type of cancer) and he writes, cynically, hilariously, emotionally, about his experiences with it, how it affected his family, his studies as a psychology student, and how he copes.

He's a very excellent writer, and renewed my faith in autobiographies.

Lol well as long as you enjoyed it q: I don't read those magazines either, such a waste of time. My nanny is obsessed with those enquirer magazines and the scoop, the ones that dish out the dirt on celebs lol.

It's his last book from the point of view of Eragaon (I think), At the end of inheritance, when he is thanking everyone he said he will revisit Alaga

Working on Atlas Shrugged. I'm not finding that it's living up to the hype, because to me reading the philosophy it's based off of is WAY more exciting than a novel attempting to put that philosophy into society =/ Maybe I'll just watch the movie and read essays instead xD

I read Rebecca and am currently reading My Cousin Rachel. Mary Anne is next on my list.
If you can't tell, I love Daphne Du Maurier's books. Haha, I love gothic books. ;)

Ah, I'm also reading Frankenstein for school.
For fun, I also read The Hanging Woods and some other book, I forgot the name.

The Fault in our Stars, it has a big effect on you once you just read it, but as time goes on it loses that effect exponentially unlike other books for me. Currently reading Shattered though, the 3rd book in the Slated Series, so far so good

I really liked it :) It was one of those books that makes you feel smart when reading it but its also really down to earth at the same time considering its set mostly on Mars and within NASA. I highly recommend it :)

I know, same here, I slacked on reading Divergent so badly :P
The series IS really good, but for some reason it isn't the type of series that you can't put down!
