Kat- Ah, I see. ^^;

I've not heard of either of those! Are those authors you were already familiar with?

LaVida- It's about King Arthur and Camelot. It follows him, the kingdom he created, and others in the kingdom from his childhood to his death. Sometimes it's more about him, other times it follows Gunevere and Lancelot or the Orkney clan more closely. It's fantasy, though not so heavily that someone who dislikes fantasy wouldn't enjoy it. It actually has fewer and fewer fantastical elements about it as the book goes on.

They were both recommendations in the afterword of The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross and I was interested enough to look at them more closely. I haven't seen the film of The Ipcress File but I've heard it's very good.

hmmm, maybe I'll check it out next time I see it :d. okay, totally time for me to go to sleep, for the past 4 days I've been finishing hard-cover novels (Merry Gentry Series, if anyone knows it) one per day because there's this "last" book of the series that's due tomorrow and I'm really trying not to stack up on fines, and then I just found out that the book that was due tomorrow was kind of an extra - ugh. =.= so.....tired..... I'm just gonna return it tomorrow and replace a hold on it =.=

The Once and Future King is an awesome book. I'm pretty sure I have a copy lying around here somewhere, I should probably reread it again soon.

On another note, I'm almost done with my Shugo Chara! collection. It's extremely cute, although the whole "He's her brother?!" moment really threw me for a loop. That's probably my favorite sort of plot twist in just about any sort of story. xD

woah, WHAT??????????????? that guy, with the lock thingy - OMG!!! he's her BROTHER?????? o.o *totally shocked speechless*

it was like, totally one of the books where she should have ended up with him o.o <---- obviously did not follow through with manga.

Merry Gentry by Laurell K. Hamilton?

I absolutely LOVE this! My elementary school used to do something similar but since then I have never done it again.

You can chat about things on your list post if you'd like, but people will more likely miss what you have to say that way, especially once it's a few pages behind. Starting new posts to chat is the best way to keep up with conversation and let other people build off of what you say, but it's up to you.
Do edit your post instead of making a new one instead of double posting, though.

Awesome idea~!
My mom is always complaining about how I read too much.
So, I can't buy as many books as I would like. D;

Anyone have any book recommendations to start me off?
Fiction is best. (:

Hey there, Meee!
Fiction like realistic fiction, or any type of fiction? And do you prefer young adult books or ...not young adult books? *brain fart on the word she needs to use*

Hello Iltu~
Hmm, I suppose any type of fiction.
And preferably young adult books.

I see you've read Tricks & The Graveyard Book?
Good books. (:

Wait wait wait, I changed my mind, I need to ask more questions before I spew reccomendations because I'm such a goose about these things.
Do you want more like, realistic fiction stories about teenagers doing things that could feasibly happen, borderline fantasy, fantasy, something else entirely...?
Sorry, I just like to make sure I don't give any reccomendations that are too off-base. XD;

Those are both great books! I love Ellen Hopkins, and after The Graveyard Book, I love Neil Gaiman as well.

All righty then. XDD

Um, anything that has a good plot and is an interesting read.
Realistic teen stories are fine by me.
I read a lot of those.
Fantasies are good as well.
I dunno, you can just spew away~ :'D

Okidoki! Some of my young adult favorites are Sabriel by Garth Nix (followed by Lirael and Abhorsen, together they are the Abhorsen Trilogy, but Sabriel works as a stand alone), Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier (Cybele's Secret is the sequel to that), Howl's Moving Castle, Dark Lord of Derkholm, both by Diana Wynne Jones (and about ANYTHING by her will be excellent), The Inkheart trilogy by Cornelia Funke, Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica by James A. Owen (first book is Here, There Be Dragons), The Sight by David Clement Davies, Watership Down by Richard Adams, the Abarat quaret by Clive Barker, The Foretelling by Alice Hoffman, The Bartimaeus Trilogy and Heroes of the Valley by Jonathan Stroud, and The Eyes of a King by Catherine Banner. And of course your standard The Hobbit, Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, and the Eragon books.

And those are almost or maybe all fantasy, so some okay to good non fantasy ones would be Mud Girl by Alison Atchison, The Luxe by Anna Godberson, the Seven Deadly Sins series by Robin Wasserman, Skinned, also by her, Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan, and Does My Head Look Big In This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah. And Sold by Patricia is REALLY good, especially if you like Ellen Hopkins.

Sorry that's such a monster list.

Monster lists are my favorite. 8D<3

Hmm, I've read Howl's Moving Castle, the Inkheart Trilogy, The Bartimaeus Trilogy, and the standard. XD
Some of the non-fantasies I've heard of. Not quite sure if I've read them or not.
I really do need to keep a list. XD

As for the rest, I think I'll check them out~
Thanks! C:
