wee!

ok, rite now all i reccomend is the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King ... my full attention is on that ... i'm almost done w/ the last book ... IT'S AMAZING ... but the ending ... is not ... looking good for the gunslingers ... lol ...

um ... here are the books:

1) The Gunslinger
2) The Drawing of the Three
3) The Waste Lands
4) Wizard and Glass
5) Wolves of the Calla
6) SOng of Susannah
7) The Dark Tower

mhm, very good books, u shall read! I COMMAND THEE!

Lol, I would read them, but none of those books sound like my genre type thing. Are they all kind of mystical and dark and magical and stuff? Nope, I don't like those books. But I'm sure someone else will read some of them, seeing as you like them so much.

okay here is a list of books that are, well, AWESOME.

THE TIME TRAVELLERS WIFE- Audrey Niffenegger
appealing to lovers of the impossible (the main character can time travel) but so down to earth and such a heartwrenching love story, anyone will love it i guaranntee.

HIS DARK MATERIALS- Phillip Pullman
Yes, all three of them, because they are amazing.

NOUGHTS AND CROSSES TRILOGY -Malorie Blackman
again another love story but entwined with terrorists and bombings and complete political uproar.

THE LOVELY BONES- Alice Sebold
at the very beginning a 12 y/old girl is murdered. this story is her watching her families lives from heaven and how her murderer gets away.

John Grisham books are always good if you like a thriller

im reading "looking for Andrew McCarthy" by Jenny Colgan at the moment which is a veryvery funny book.

well theres a couple to get your teeth round...

nah, i would classify them as more ... paranormal ... and it's really good ... if you like the idea that our world is not necessarily what the "future" will be ... in other words it's a futuristic tale in a world almost like our own ... but not quite ... you should at least try the first book out ... nah, i take that back ... the first book is kinda boring ... try the second book, and if u like it read the first ... the second is amazing and will get ur attention immediately.

haha, sarah, i've read all of those except looking for andrew mccartney ... they are all very good books ... anything by philip pullman is good ... other books i've found good and thought provoked by alice seibold is lucky (about a college girl who got raped and is gonna have a baby by this guy and she has to "overcome her fears" to remember everything she can about the guy who raped her) and then doing time online ... (a really short book about a boy who got in trouble for doing something he didn't do ... and as punishment, he has to online chat w/ an older person at the local police station ... it's a really good quick read if ur interestied in things like that) ... i didn't really like the noughts and crosses trilogy ... i tried the first book out ... it's not my kinda thing

I've read the noughts and crosses book and pretty much all of P.P's work. I adore him! My stepmum told me about lovely bones but i never really got around to finding it!

I'm just finishing Not without my daughter by Betty Mahmoody. It's about an american who marries an Iranian doctor. Then he takes them to iran (her and their five year old daughter) and wont let them leave. people keep telling her to escape without her daughter Mahtob, but she refuses! It's true and everything. I think it's amazing.

A rose for malinda-I forget

woah awesome! say hello to your new mod for recomendations :p

yeah darren shan- he does the Vampire mountain etc. books doesnt he?

if you like Darren Shan youll probably like Garth Nix.
hes done quite a lot of stuff but one thing,
DONT READ "THE RAGWITCH" by Garth Nix. its terrible! read Mr Monday and Grim Tuesday theyre good.

x||x

Oops, sorry hun, I forgot to tell you bout bein mod. Tell me if you'd rather not be... :-) Know what a tam 'o shanter is?

YES!
a tam 'o shanter is one of those amazing scottish hats isnt it??

i might make my avitar a guy wearing a tam o' shanter...

or if a photoshop wiz kid wants to try edit into my current pic that would be so awesome!!!

x||x

ah, short and quick now

Stephan King is awesome, although crazy at times, brilliant all the same
Garth Nix is great for an easier read
Dean Koontz is a great thriller writer, although most of his stories all seem the same
Peter Straub is also crazy but i liked some of his stories
Ann Rice is the queen of darkness

I read Lovely Bones, it was fairly good although not my favorite book since im more into the horror scene

I found a garth Nix book on my shelf... sabriel? anyway, its hard to get into....

uh huh... tam 'o shanter = scottish thingy...

erm...the shadow children books ... they're "easy reads"

Oh. Well Im not that drawn in.... just finished the nazi officer's wife... it was excellent!!! its by Edith Hahn but might be more of a Me type of book...

Yeah Stephen King is amazing- he actually did a book with Peter Straub. Its called Dark House.

Dean koontz is a brilliant writer, I read his book “Velocity” recently which is a thriller about a murderer and a sort of victim except it has horrible twists- at the risk of sounding a cliché- I couldn’t put it down!

Yeah Garth Nix is sort of younger but theyre still very good. Yeah sabriel is one of his books from the Abhorsen trilogy. I started Sabriel or whichever was the first one and couldn’t really get into it. Apparently once you get going its good though…I just cant be assed! Lol

I recently read “the client” by John Grisham which was amazing. Its about an eleven year old kid called Mark who, by freak chance, discovers a secret that can get him killed if he tells, and imprisoned if he doesn’t. It all gets a bit complicated for the poor kid- all the more exciting for the reader! Lol

the shadow children..isnt that by Steven Schnur and Herbert Tauss?
or am i thinking of something else?

whats the nazi officer's wife about? im guessing a nazi officer's wife but yeah...lol

x||x

he's written quite a few books w/ pert straub, dark house, the talisman, the state box (really awesome novella) and such ...

~~

really?
cooel ill have to check them out :]

x||x

The nazi offcier's wife was fuckin awsome! This jewish woman, pretended she was aryan, got papers and moved from Viena to Munich. Then she actually married a man who became a nazi officer!!!! he even knew she was jewish! the end was truly fabulous! you should look out for it.

wow! it sounds really good.

i love books like that.
theres another one...i can't remember what its called but if you like that sort of book then theres one about a lady in an asian country and in that country (as it still is in some) women arent allowed on the streets, arent allowed to drive, work, do anything really. and she has to look after her family so she goes out as a man and its her story about how hard it was and stooof. ill try and get the title/author for you.

Like in Afghanistan?? I read a book about a kid that had to dress as boy... but it wasnt very good. Try to find the name! I know a boy from afganistan. His dad and big brother were arrested and he hasnt seem them since! His mym died... now it's just him and two borthers.... :-(

ohh no!
thats terrible!
yeah ill try and find the title.

Yeah... cause Im kinda the helper for the foreigners in my class (was), I was helping him in english with our teacher and he just blurted it all out!!!

Next year Im in the foreign class, specially so I can help them!!

oh thats so good of you!

we dont have anyone foreign in our class, not for any reason. Id love to have some different cultures in our class, we have people who have families from different places but they were all born and raised in england.

x||x

I didnt choose to! I hate it... well, i did it last year a bit, cause I liked it and was able to... but now they're taking advantage....

I was in a class last year with a lot of ethnic minorities: Afghan, Latvian, Serbian... a fair amount...
