Kids/Teens Book Club discussion

I've got a few books but I don't know I guess I just want some suggestions on some books to read.

Try the group bookshelves. I'm not really sure what is on there, but I think alot of people have added good books to it.

Uglies by Scott Westerfield
I agree with Charlotte about Cashore's Graceling and Fire--FANTASTIC!
Wings by Aprilynne Pike (the sequel just came out, too)
Full Moon by Rachel Hawthorne (there are a bunch of sequels, too)
Minder by Kate Kaynak (DISCLAIMER: yeah, this is me, but I saw your list and just LOVED a bunch of the books on it)
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia (and the sequel is coming out in a few months!)
Strange Angels by Lili St. Crow

Someone asked for more book suggestions.

i would suggest for any fantasy lovers out there the inheritance cycle, midnighters, harry potter, maximum ride, and chronicals of ancient darkness

Lindsey just told you. a member asked for book suggestions, so we are supplying them.

We've made suggestions, that's why there's random lists of books popping up in the comments.

I read that Lewis stole Tolkien's ideas or something like that.

Weird or what?

that's not true

well, I once read a book about it, but I didn't really understand about it. The Magical Worlds of Narnia

ooooh, a book you will *adore*


Everlost by Neal Shusterman

ITS AH-MAZING!

Because he didn't like allegory, which Narnia uses. :)"

But he uses allegory as well ..... but he DID hate them.....I think it was because he found it innappropriate for the situations C.S. Lewis used it

Because he was an extremely strong Catholic and if I'm not mistaken C. S. Lewis was while he wrote Narnia but then he became Anglican (another type of Christian) and Tolkin was angry. He thought Lewis was belittling his faith.

but don't quote me lol

that's absolutely untrue.
Lewis was an atheist, then became a theist through his friendship with Tolkien, but Tolkien was a little disappointed (not "angry") when Lewis became a member of the Church of England and not Roman Catholicism, which was Tolkien's faith. They were still friends, though, and the basic principles of religion they agreed upon.

I've read 2 Tolkien biographies and just took a college course of the life and works of CS Lewis. This is a subject I am very much familiar with.

Thanks for the clarification, it sounds really intresting, I bet it is neat to study.

A book i loved as a young girl are as follow:
-Song of a Sparrow by Lisa Ann Sandell
-The outsiders by S.E Hinton
-Thirteen Reasons why by Jay Asher
-Airhead by Meg Cabot
-Candy by Kevin Brooks
-Along for a ride by Sarah Dessen (any books by Sarah dessen actualy)
- THe things they carried by Tim O'Brien
-Life as we knew it by Susan Beth Pfeffer

i love Life as we knew it! did you read the sequals?

nopeeeee. But i really want to

i read Dead and gone it was really good not as good as the first but almost. dead and gone was cool because of how different the perspective was, new york city was a great setting. what is the third one called?

I don't know but i heard the 3rd is the best out of the whole series. It made me cryyyyyy(well the 1st one did).

really? i dont usually cry for books(or movies)

i never cry until i read this books. i was bawling

lol. Thirteen Reasons Why was really good! IDK what books the person is looking for.. so i wont say anything besides that!

I loved thirteen reasons why, but Jay Asher hasn't writtne any new books =(

I know! I was hoping for new books by him ): he did a good job on thirteen reasons why..so I dont know why he isnt writing!

Same here......

The third was This World We Live In.

Anyone know any good books I could read? I'd appreciate if they wheren't vampire books. I'm tired of those.

how about "the last knight" by hilari bell, its my current obssesion.

What's it about?

its the first book in a fantasy series set in a sorta medival land. certain plants and animals may be "magica" and there for are protected and cant be killed/eaten without proper sacrifice first. there are two main characters Fisk and Micheal, Micheal is a noble who has left his home to become a "knight errent" who travals the land doing good deeds but mostly just getting in trouble. Fisk is a *ahem* retired con man who was saved from hanging by micheal and now travals with him even though he thinks knight errentry is stupid. many adventures ensue...

Oh. Sounds good. I'll have to look for it. :)

cool! :)

The Maze Runner is a good book!

Morpheus Road (The Light) is good. :)

- ttyl by Lauren Myracle

- Switch by Carol Snow

- Talent by Zoey Dean

One of my favorite series EVER is the Cat Royal Adventures by Julia Golding

tell me you guys have heard VA!!! please tell me you have

Vampire Academy? not my favorite....i only read the first book

I've haven't read VA.

neither have i, i see a ton of hype about it though.

If I were into princess books, there's Gail Carson Levine's books, Shannon Hale, Jessica Day George, and Sally Gardner. If not there is Atherton by Patrick Carman, Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver, House of the Scorpion, Sphinx's Princess(it's about Nefertiti)and more! If you look at my profile and the books I've read, most of them are my favorites!

I love Esther M. Friesner's books! And Gail Carson Levine's and Shannon Hale's. And I like Sally Gardner's (so far, i mean, i've only read red necklace....tehehe)

Hi I'm Benjamin I'm new to this club but I like romance with a small twist of fantasy. My favorite books are the Mortal Intruments Series. But I also like books like As You Wish And others but mostly I need a book to read and personally I don't want to read the books on my to-read shelf I just think they're....boring? But thanks!!!

I really enjoyed the The Elvenbane from Norton and Lacey. The first book in the trilogy seemed over descriptive and a bit of a chug to get through, but was very rewarding in my opinion.

Has anyone read the VA??? God please tell me someone has... i feel lonely!!! *hugs myself*

Hmm, I read a really great book called Twenty Boy Summer. Oh, and Deadly Little Secret is great, and there's a second called Deadly Little Lies.

(Do people really read these threads or just post?)
On the previous page, Skye, people have responded to you...
Anyway, I have and have read the Vampire Academy (by *Richelle Mead* ) books. Spirit Bound is waiting in my TBR pile. I'm trying to read through the entire library first. (Kidding... kinda)
I am probably partial to them because of my and the Main Characters namesake. But I do like the drama of undying love... literally. I actually thing that VA is better than Twilight. But that is merely my opinion.

What can I add to this recommendation list that wasn't already said...

Well, I don't remember seeing any *Robin Wasserman*?
She has a mystery/thriller series for YA/Children called Chasing Yesterday: Awakening, Betrayal, Truth ... These are fresh in my head, I just finished the series and they are still lying on my bedroom floor.
I like her syfy YA series: Skinned was Jaw Clenching Good, Crashed was Just as good, if not Better!!, Wired <--On my TBR list
Here are the covers:

Skinned was blurbed by *Scott Westerfeld* author of the Uglies Trilogy/Series:
, , trilogy + ; My Favs.
And the Midnighters Series: Touching Darkness,Blue Noon,The Secret Hour<--I love what happens to Jessica at the end ;) ;) OH and, of course, Leviathan--which I'm reading at the moment. It's good, so far.

Roseanne: Some people do read the posts (like me, the mods, and many other people), but I am sure that there are those who just post.
