Warrior Cats (by Erin Hunter)
Rangers Apprentice
Anything by Diana Wynne Jones
The Hunger Games
Discworld series
The Warrior Heir trilogy (by Cinda Williams Chima)
Septimus Heap
Percy Jackson

It doesn't need to be part of a series. No books with tons of romance please.

Artemis Fowl would be similar to your tastes, maybe Harry Potter.

I just read Catalyst and Catacombs by Anne McCaffrey - I loved them. It's about space cats - and it's written in a bunch of different perspectives - the humans and the cats. I don't want to say anything more though, because it seemed like every little peice of information was vital to the plot! It was really great.... I think it would fit into your little collection there. ^_^



EDIT: Oh, and I agree with Techn0boy - Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter would be great. Although I must say that MANY people would benefit from reading Harry Potter. It's one of those series that everyone is talking about and tons of people love, so....

[constantly reading]

I just finished Entwined by Heather Dixon. I really liked that book. Any suggestions for something similar? It was a retelling of the fairy tale 12 Dancing Princesses.

If you love animals, I recommend James Herriot's books.

I'd recommend the Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Claire o3o It has a bit of romance with the two main characters but tons of action & comedy c: It's a really good series.~

The first book is The City of Bones if you're interested c:

Looking for something new to download on my Kindle (best. gift. ever.). Just finished Hunger Games series and I loved it more than a normal person should love a book series xd

So what I like~
Fantasy type books.
I'm really into dystopian (that's what Goodreads calls it anyway) stuff.

I'll read anything that's not boring, and doesn't have too much military stuff or romance.

I'm also not really into knights and middle ages sort of stuff, but I have a few that I do like, so I give them a chance. It's been awhile since I've found one that I liked though.

Really looking for something similar to Hunger Games.

Any ideas?

"Rowanoverdramatic" said:Anyone got any book reccs for me?


Yes! I just finished "House Rules" and "Salem Falls" by Jodi Picoult. Loved them both..also read "Handle With Care" by her as well but, didn't enjoy it quite as much.

Looking for a book! I want to study some steampunk novel, especially if they have fantasy and/or epic adventures/journies.
Nothing too horrifying or dark please.

I haven't read many steampunk books, been awhile since i did. Last series I read was Maximum Ride.


Any suggestions?

I need a new book to read while I wait for the new Anne Rice book to come out on Valentine's day.

I like all sorts of books, as long as they're not Twilight or a Romance novel.

Try reading these:

The Killer Edge by Heather Graham : crime thriller/paranormal suspense
Siren by Tricia Rayburn: Very good book, I recommend
Numbers by Rachel Ward : worth the time
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher: unique book
Have you read the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins?: EPIC
Telling Christina goodbye by author?
Room by Emma Donoghue

Fallen by Lauren Kate : it's about a girl called Luce and a boy called Daniel. Daniel is an angel that has fallen in love with a human (Luce) and since then Luce keeps being reincarnated over and over again and falls in love with Daniel each time and each time they kiss Luce dies. Really crappy blurb I wrote but a good read, there is also a sequel to it called 'Torment'.

Pretty Little Devils by Nancy Holder
Sea Change by Aimee Friedman : mesmerizing, Definitely recommended

The Body Finder series by Kimberly Derting: insanely awesome book summary;

Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense dead bodies—or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes that the dead leave behind in the world... and the imprints that attach to their killers.

Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find the dead birds her cat had tired of playing with. But now that a serial killer has begun terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, she realizes she might be the only person who can stop him.

Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet on her quest to find the murderer—and Violet is unnerved to find herself hoping that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer... and becoming his prey herself.
the next 2 books in the series is called:
Desires of the Dead and
The Last Echo
book 4 will come out next year

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen : REALLY good

Before I fall by Lauren Oliver ; AMAZING! What if you only had one day to live? What would you do? Who would you kiss? And how far would you go to save your own life?
Samantha Kingston has it all: the world’s most crush-worthy boyfriend, three amazing best friends, and first pick of everything at Thomas Jefferson High—from the best table in the cafeteria to the choicest parking spot. Friday, February 12, should be just another day in her charmed life.
Instead, it turns out to be her last. Then she gets a second chance. Seven chances, in fact. Reliving her last day during one miraculous week, she will untangle the mystery surrounding her death—and discover the true value of everything she is in danger of losing.

Shadow Hills by Anastasia Hopcus
Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott : kind of disturbing but good, only for mature readers
my hands hurting now so I'll write more later, hope you enjoy these!
