November 2011-November 2012 booklist
I think I'll try this again... |
Hey~! So, totally off-topic question....who's doing the NaNoWri?
|
O.o What is this NaNoWri that you speak of? I've never heard of it. |
NaNoWriMo = National Novel Writing Month
The point is to complete a 50,000 word novel during November. :yes: I participate every year, but only as encouragement to finish my novel. I never try to get it all done at once. It's just nice to have so much support from the writing community and talk with people who are just as inexperienced as I am. |

So I just finished the Cirque Du Freak series.
It was pretty good overall. The ending was a little trippy - in a good way though - so I fear that they won't continue with the movies. |
I never finished the Cirque Du Freak series...maybe I will have to do that...
|
This sounds like a great challenge!
I have collected quite a number of books over the years, but haven't read them all yet. I guess this is a good chance to catch up on some reading! I'm pretty new to the category, any suggestions on favorite genres people like to read? |
@Shadow: I recommend it. I read two to three books a day because they're meant for younger teens but they're still good. ^_^
@~Black Petals~: Welcome! I personally wander in the fantasy genre the most. xD Though I do like historical. |

Go go go!
I really liked them. xD Larten is my favorite person ever. |
I just finished reading The Iceman Cometh. Anyone else here read that before? The ending was pretty sad and . . . odd with a little cheesiness thrown in. I feel like I have to mull this read over.
What books have you guys read where you had to stop and think after reading it versus sighing and closing the book contentedly? |
So, question--who is doing Nation Novel Writing month?
I see you are, mwahhaha. And to answer your question....The Dark Light. It's also my favourite book ever. X3 |
I want to participate, but school and work are just to overwhelming right now. X_X
I barley have time to write my character sheets. T_T |
Ooh, this looks like fun! I just started reading Peter Pan, so I guess that will be #1!.
Rabid Rainbow's Book List 1. Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie (finished 11/6/09) 2. Ozma of Oz by L. Frank Baum (finished 11/3/09) 3. Al Capone Does my Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko (finished 11/5/09) |
@Bishielurfer The Dark Light, eh? I'll have to check that out. I like books that sorta make you stop.
Yup, I'm doing Nanowrimo. I'm pretty excited about it. :3 I'm guessing you're doing nanowrimo, too. What type of story are you working on? Today's the first day. W00T! |
*sigh* sadly, I'm very bad at writing and I'm getting a homework over-load currently, the only reason I'm still on is because of the halloween event :P
|
My favourite book ever is Villains By Necessity by Eve Forward. Awesome book that flips the idea of heroes...

Hello!
I came across this thread while clicking the "Spy" link! ^_^ I love to read ... and according to GoodReads, I've read about 35 books this year. Well, 37 if you count the two I'm currently reading. Cool! I will be posting my list soon! Nice to meet everyone! EDIT: Oops, I miscounted! Some got lumped as trilogies, even though I did reach each book separately! So, it looks like it's more than I thought! ^_^ |

@Sizzla: ^_^ My wit makes a random appearance every month or so.
LaVida: In English there is the word barley and barely. Barely means almost, and barley is a form of a grain. I am forever typing barley by accident, and leenie always corrects me. So if you look at my sentences definition wise they technically have "a type of grain" instead if "almost." It was snide comment to the leenie. Welcome Reeny! @leenie: PS Nice reference to Repo! ^_^ |
