Hmmm.
The Hobbit. Awesome book!
The ...Good books. Hmmm.<br /><br />The Hobbit. Awesome book!<br /><br />The Shadow Children series by Margaret Peterson Haddix.<br /><br />Eragon and the rest of that series.<br /><br />Full Tilt by Neal Shusterman<br /><br />Unwind by Neal Shusterman<br /><br />Pendragon series (never read them but I've heard good things about them)<br /><br />The Warrior cats series by Erin Hunter (When I suggest this, I always get two complaints 1. I don't like animal books 2. 60 BOOKS! About CATS?! Are you kidding? But my answers are 1. The cats are pretty relatable. And I hated animal books when I first read them. Especially cats. But I still liked Warriors And 2. You don't have to read all 60 billion books. Just read the first 6. They're the best anyways. The rest are just for the megaWarriorsfans who would die without more books *cough*me*cough* So yeah, give Warriors a chance)<br /><br />Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo<br /><br />Some Jules Verne classics.<br /><br />That's all for now, but if I think of any more I'll let you know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032829001077250159.post-64053552430201692302012-02-08T06:34:45.313-08:002012-02-08T06:34:45.313-08:00I think you'll enjoy "Witch and Wizard.&q...I think you'll enjoy "Witch and Wizard." I read the whole trilogy and they were quite good. :) <br /><br />I'd recommend if you haven't already read them- <br /><br />The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins <br />The Seventh Tower series by Garth Nix<br />Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix<br />The Power of Five(or The Gatekeepers series) by Anthony Horowitz(the first isn't that great but the rest were very interesting). <br />The Sea of Trolls trilogy by Nancy Farmer<br />The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer<br />The Chaos Walking Trilogy by Patrick Ness (there is a lot of cussing in these books but they are very good). <br />The Icemark Trilogy by Stuart Hill <br />Hope this helps :DShena Tokalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657993823328581910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032829001077250159.post-55468821367524730032012-02-06T15:40:21.430-08:002012-02-06T15:40:21.430-08:00They don't like Nico? Ridiculous! I'm just...They don't like Nico? Ridiculous! I'm just going to try to block that out. You have a good point with the "backstabbing little punk," thing, I guess, but he's still one of my favorites from the series. I thought his character growth arc was amazing. (:<br /><br />Yes, the Max books are amazing! And I wasn't too impressed with the first Alex Rider book, either. I never went on to read any of the others. But now I definitely have to read Ender's Game, because you've got me intrigued.<br /><br />I'm going to throw out some titles here, in case you haven't read some of them.<br /><br />-The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld, or his Midnighters series, or his novel So Yesterday (can you tell I'm a fan of his?)<br /><br />-Incarceron and Sapphique by Catherine Fisher<br /><br />-The Echo Falls series by Peter Abrahams<br /><br />-Left Behind series<br /><br />-A Separate Peace by John Knowles<br /><br />-I feel like you would've read the Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke already, but if not, they're amazing. Team Dustfinger!<br /><br />Love the Percy Jackson quote, by the way!Jenna Blake Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348472716158899465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032829001077250159.post-25231125087525452792012-02-05T14:25:53.963-08:002012-02-05T14:25:53.963-08:00There's a award waiting at my blog for you!There's a award waiting at my blog for you!Lindy Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05411941202905523216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032829001077250159.post-16157311932450387762012-02-05T08:10:52.114-08:002012-02-05T08:10:52.114-08:00I haven't read the Alex Rider book(s)... but I...I haven't read the Alex Rider book(s)... but I'd suggest at least trying Christopher Paolini's books - especially if you like high fantasy. Plus, the series is now complete at four books - <i>Eragon</i>, <i>Eldest</i>, <i>Brisingr</i> and <i>Inheritance</i> - so you won't have to wait for new installments if you like it!! Speaking of which, I really need to read <i>Inheritance</i>...I got it for Christmas and haven't read it yet, silly me...<br /><br />And also, I'm not sure what kinds of books you like, but I set myself a goal to read sixty new books this year. So if you follow <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/7277459-taylor-lynn" rel="nofollow">my reviews</a> on Goodreads, you might find some new books to try.
