Chatterbox: Blab About Books
Book Recommendations
A while back...
A while back I went on here and made a list of books that people recommended that sparked my interest. Eventually I had a list of over 30 books. Then I went to the library and read a bunch this summer and my list decreased significantly. Most of the remaining books on my list are not at the library currently, and I'm going today so I don't have enough time to place a hold on them. I really need recommendations. I especially like book series.
Some Books I've Read and Like(some of these are series I haven't finished):
The Waterfire Saga
The Harry Potter Series
The Wings of Fire Series
The Land of Stories Series
The School for Good and Evil
The Unwanteds Series
Furthermore (I'm going to get Whichwood)
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library
The War that Saved my Life (& sequel)
Story Thieves 1, 2, and 3.
Ella Enchanted
That's mostly fantasy, but I do like like some historical or realistic fiction. Ready, Set, Recommend!!
That was cheesy xD

Oh, cool! Another one of these! Yesterday I read Wonderstruck over the course of a couple hours. It was amazing. I would totally recommend it. If you're into historical fiction, like REALLY historical (Ancient Egypt timeline), I would recommend The Golden Goblet. I had to read it for history, and I totally thought it would be boring, but it really wasn't. It's really well-researched and fast-paced. Oh, and if you're into Star Wars, I would recommend Before The Awakening. It's a collection of three stories (one about Finn, one about Rey, and one about Poe) that take place before The Force Awakens. They're all kind of sad, but I really enjoyed them. Also the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic graphic novels, but I would recommend playing the game (though you don't have to) before you read them so more things make sense.
Hope that helps!

Oh, I love Wonderstruck! You should read Brian Selznick's other books, The Marvels and The Invention Of Hugo Cabret. They're all absolutely glorious.

Has anyone read Out Of My Mind? I would like to read it but I'm not sure what it's about.
(October 27, 2018 - 4:36 pm)
OH SHOOT I LOVE THAT BOOK! Out of My Mind is about a girl named Melody who has cerebral palsy. She can't move, much less speak. She's about 10 or eleven, I think. It's so, so, good. I stayed up till, like 10:00 reading it.
Dream says yowo. Yolo? What...?

@Shlok My friend Sarah loves those books, but I've never read them. What are they like?
(October 30, 2018 - 8:20 am)
I've only read the first few, but... They're genius, creepy, hilarious, unpleasant, and bizarre. Lemony Snickett is... Eccentric.

Out of my mind is soooo good it totally made me cry at the end though

Thanks guys!!! I peeked at some other recommendation threads and ended up getting Sparrow by Sarah Moon, Half Upon a Time and Twice Upon a Time by James Riley, and A Wind in the Door by Madeline L'Engle. Have you guys read any of those? I was going to start The Lunar Chronicles, but someone must have literally taken it out a few minutes before I got to it. Oh well.
Anyway thank you for the suggestions!!!! Keep them coming :)
If you need suggestions, I'd recommend anything I listed up there ^^^
What're your guys's favorite book/book series?
