Favourite Books
I know everyone...
I know everyone has their own special list of favourite books that they read again and again... or is that just me? I have no idea. Well, I'm looking for book recommendations anyway so hit me with your favourites!
Here's mine:
- Murder most unladylike
- When You Reach Me
- First Light
- How to Train Your Dragon series
- Divergent trilogy
- The Hunger Games
- Harry Potter series
- Out of my Mind
I beleive that every kid should read these books at some point because every one of them made me laugh, cry and read over and over again.

Oh yeah! I love Princess Academy, which I think is by Shannon Hale? I'm not exactly sure tho. It's not as cheesy as it sounds is all I'm gonna say. I also love the Fog Diver books, and the Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice books (they're so good, and made me cry a couple of times, especially the Ties That Bind story arc). I honestly don't think Harry Potter is that well-written. And also Star Wars: The Old Republic: Annihilation. Annihilation is seriously good, though there's a lot of romance and it's a little violent. Oh, and The War That Saved My Life. READ THAT ONE. IT'S AMAZING.

I agree that Harry Potter isn't well written. Last year my friends were really into it, so I had to not say that I hated it. The War That Saved My Life was really good. Did you know there's a sequel The War I Finaly Won. I think.

The whole Wizarding World concept and Hogwarts are great, but some of the characters are not well formed.

-The Giver
-Mr. Lemoncello's Library
-My Diary From the Edge of the World
I should stop now, shouldn't I.
Oh, but there's more...
-Wonder
-Resistance
-Roller Girl
-Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere
-The Trail
-Maiden Voyage

Now I'm done. And yes, Out of My Mind was heartbreaking and beautiful. I fell in love with Melody.

I know! I wish there was a sequal, or atleast an epilogue. It didn't really even have a happy ending.

I've actually read over half of those books... what are the chances? Three off the top of my head (trust me I have like a khfdjillion more) are Six of Crows (and Crooked Kingdom), The Poet X, and The Two Princesses of Bammare.
Laylanie says nhay. Hay? Oh dear. Defenitely wrong thread.
