No library?!
Will you accept my pity?

I think I've already recommended Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series, as well as Warbreaker, and Elantris.
They are awesome for lovers of fantasy and/or sci-fi.

There's also the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. It's set in an Irish environment and, of course, includes dragons.

HOHOHO!! I READ ELDEST AGAIN!!

:3 AND FINISHED THE REQUIRED CANTERBURY READING FOR SCHOOL }:D

Anne McCaffrey!

I'm straying from the fantasy theme here, but Richard Peck is one of my favorite authors. He writes amazing historical fiction! His settings are incredibly detailed and believable, and instead of trying to cram in an entire war or something he takes a very narrow focus. Most of them have made me laugh and get a little misty-eyed. A Long Way from Chicago is probably my favorite that he's done. Listen to the recorded version if you can, that makes it even better. ^__^

Nicholas Sparks' Books :) From The Notebook, The Last Song until Safe Haven. I love all of his works :) Most of his works are about love & tragedy but it really what makes me so addicted to his works are the twists and surprises after reading. Cause most of the times, the novel's summary/synopsis just gives it all. T__T

I'm reading Love Virtually by Daniel Glattauer atm.
love it till now :3

Renny · May 27, 2011, 09:37

Greta · May 29, 2011, 04:34

deathberry · June 01, 2011, 10:04

:O! I LOVE HISTORICAL FICTION <3! I must try him! Oh yes! Recently I've found a profound love for Arthur Miller; plays were never interesting before

icewing · June 13, 2011, 21:44

:3 just read Tuesdays with Morrie

deathberry · July 15, 2011, 14:56

@Ryu: just remembered that you wanted to know how I liked Mistborn x) It's greeeeeat~ gonna buy the 2nd book soon, did you read all books? but I can't imagine what's gonna happen next, I hope Vin won't die T.T

started reading Dante Valentine by Lilith Saintcrow :D LOVE it so far :3

Ryu · July 16, 2011, 02:55

OMG, yes! Another Mistborn fan!
Yeah, I've read the Mistborn series as well as his standalones, Elantris and Warbreaker.
LOVE LOVE LOVE BRANDON SANDERSON'S STYLE~

Hahah, I walked into Barnes & Noble the other day and got a shock when I saw a poster announcing that Inheritance (by Christopher Paolini) was coming out in November.
Honestly, Paolini takes WAYYYYY too long to come out with his books!
No joke, but he once joked with fans that he wrote his books with an ink nib pen.
...
I believe it, yo.

icewing · July 16, 2011, 04:20

I recently read A Northern Light

Renny · July 18, 2011, 11:03

my mom forbade me to read that book....

Ryu · July 18, 2011, 11:56

O.o Why?
It's not inappropriate...

Diaya · August 26, 2011, 16:10

i read a book call Princess Prize
it was Great

My mom thinks it's evil because it is written by an atheist

icewing · August 30, 2011, 12:38

...O_O WHA? i thought it might've been inappropriate because of some...PG-13 scenes?

how is that guy an atheist?! D:

Renny · August 31, 2011, 13:21

I dont really know... it what my mom said

Koyue · October 26, 2011, 13:44

Finished HP. Got bored with Twilight after New Moon. Loved Rhyming Season and Primrose Past.

Yuukii · October 26, 2011, 23:00

I like both HP and Twillight. My friend hates Twi and loves HP. Another love Twi but hate HP

Renny · October 28, 2011, 08:54

Twilight was a good story (excepting that the vampires sparkled

) till the fourth book... talk about a hectic anti-climax!!

I have not read HP

Yuukii · October 28, 2011, 09:44

Read both HP and Twillight.

Don't hate both.

Don't love both.

I'll prefer something like 'house of night'.

Renny · October 28, 2011, 10:51

house of the night???

Yuukii · October 28, 2011, 12:02

It's a book, about vampires. Different from twillight though, this have no werewolf

Arya · October 30, 2011, 00:46

I've been delaying the House of Night books forever XD Is it really worth reading?

I recently read the Pixie series by Carrie Jones and to my surprise quite enjoyed it. Im really looking forward to the next one.... whenever that will get released >.<

I also tried the Fallen series by Lauren Kate. Did anyone else feel a Twilight and/or Mortal Instruments influence in her writing? O.o;;

The fantasy genre is new for me. I use to avoid it like the plague XD and now i seem to be on a girlie fantasy binge. Im finding it's the equivalent to eating junk food, only for the brain - fun to read but completely useless. XDDDD

Yuukii · October 30, 2011, 00:55

Yes, House of Night is quite worth to read. I like the story very much

Arya · October 30, 2011, 01:11

Whats it about?

How many of the books have you read? XD

Yuukii · October 30, 2011, 01:21

Currently, I collected all of it. A new book is coming out, and I don't know when

It's actually about vampires. In the world, there are 'trackers' that 'track' and 'mark' them as a vampire.

However, after you have been marked, you need to be 'awakened' to be a full-pledge vampire. After marked, there is only two choice, you die if your transformation is unsuccessful or awakened.

When they are marked, they have a tatto like mark on their forehead that is empty. After you are awakened, the tatto will be filled and can be spread all over the body, depending on your strength.

However, the main character, was marked and her mark was already filled. Then, lots of enemy, blah blah blah etc. A few boys goes after her, then betrayed by her friends, died, revived blah blah.

It's a nice story about family, friends and love

Renny · October 30, 2011, 01:52

sounds like a relly good book... maybe I'll track it down and read it

Yuukii · October 30, 2011, 03:12

You should

It's a must! 'Not suitable for children' it says at the back of the book

Renny · October 31, 2011, 10:04

well I am not a child so I should be fine

shobeh1212 · October 31, 2011, 10:58

I actually read.. HP books.. (1-6) but I got bored with reading book 7 so I ended up bugging my sisters about the story of book 7..

I do also read the Twilight series since my sister is sooo hooked up with it that I ended up reading it.. (out of my curiousity)

Their story is very nice... Very interesting. The story in their books is very nice compared to their movies.. I prefer the book when it comes to their story..

Renny · November 04, 2011, 10:57

kurobani · November 11, 2011, 09:21
