Oh my gosh, Linnea, those are awesome. They look like instruments from the Future!

i know!!! and they sound out of this world! haha... they make so many different sounds and... i dunno... it's so crazy!

wow the mercy thompson series sounds really good!!!

Yeah, they're sort of like... electronic woodwind/string... things. XD

Mercy Thompson is great. I haven't read the latest book because I'm waiting for the paperback version, but... Yeah. :) Oh, and I still do recommend the Weather Warden series. No vampires or werewolves in that, believe it or not!

i looked up the weather warden series and that is a really neat story... i was wondering how the djinns played a part in it, now i might have to add those to my list too!

XD How about you? Any suggestions? I'm still looking for new UF to read...

....UF??

Urban Fantasy. Sorry. I really need to work on not using abbreviations.

oooh hahaha... no it's ok... i'm just not down with the lingo lol....
but let me think... wait you mentioned you don't mind romance in them right?

I don't even know if it's lingo, so much as something I picked up from one the people I talk comic books and, well, other books with. :)

And no, I don't mind romance at all. It comes pretty standard with the genre. But I prefer it if the adventure is emphasized. Strong heroine, high on adventure, low on vampires. Those are my main criteria, really.

hmmmmm..... well there is a young adult series called 'the mortal instruments' they are really good for being young adult... but they have shapeshifters (or weres), a few vampires, but not cheesy one's like the twilight ones, and lots of magic and witches of sorts... the heroine is a teen, she's 18 i think, and they are pretty good... you should look them up

oh and the 'night world' series... another series made for young adult readers, but really good... this one also has shifters, some vampires, and witches/warlocks... there are three stories per volume (there are three volumes) each story is from a different character, which i found refreshing... so one might be a story in a werewolf's perspective and another is from a vampire hunter's perspective... they also deal with 'soul mates' and what those are (which i thought was a neat twist)....

i'll keep thinking of some that aren't young adult lol... blame it on sara lee haha

Heh, young adult is fine. I've been reading YA dystopia stuff lately, too, but I still have to read the last Ember book, so I'm okay on that for now. And anyway, to me that age level means the absence of R-rated scenes, the sort I tend to skip, anyway. These look cool. I've jotted down the titles for future reference! :)

Also, I should get to bed. I'm exhausted...

MMm book recommendations :>

i read young adult

alrighty... see ya on the flip side cica!!

xurxo, we were talking about the fantasy genre... any good ones you know of?

G'night, and sweet dreams! :)

thanks! you too!

I haven't read in awhile xDD

I do recommend "Soon I Will Be Invincible"

hey guys.... probably just popping in but i haven't been able to say college, i always seem so busy when i'm at college

hey wings. I know the feeling. My design class, don't even get me started on my project.

Hmm.. when I was younger I used to love books written by Bruce Coville. They were really interesting an a pretty fast read. My favorites were Goblins in the Castle and Into the Land of the Unicorn. Later on I think he made one or two more books for the Unicorn series. But the ones about Aliens ate my Homework and How to raise a dragon, were always funny and interesting to me. I know they aren't really teen books but I loved them when I was a beginning reader :heart: They still have a special place in my heart today. I wanted to read them to my daughter but I couldn't find the Goblins in teh Castle one that I wanted so I read her Bunnicula instead. IT's a cute story. At the end of every chapter we'd talk about what happened and what it really means. She's so smart... almost 5 :hug:

*throws a huge spider into the thread*

Which spider? Why... this one of course!!

Aliens ate my hw!!! *falls over laughing for an hour* I love that book! That author used to be all I wanted to read but our library didn't have that many books!!

and now I'll say hello. 'ello to all that many or many not be on.

yeah, its pretty quiet everywhere.
