Right now I'm reading Mordred, b*****d Son.
I started reading it a few years ago, but never got past the third chapter. It was just sitting around in my closet, so I decided to give it a try.

(Anyone ever read it before?)

I've read Before I Die. It was really good. But it's really weird.. and sad. How far are you? Or have you finished it?

Yesterday I read 'Somebody' by Nancy Springer cover to cover (literally) I didn't put it down except for to answer my PMs. I'm also almost done with 'Snatched' by Pete Hautman and Mary Logue, I've read Pete's other book 'Mr. Was' because one of my friends told me it was really good, which it was. When I finish Snatched I'm going to read 'Invisible' also by Pete Hautman.

Edit: I just finished Snatched. Starting Invisible. <3


I've got about 90 pages left, so I may be able to finish it tonight. Bits of it have been sad, but I've found that I've not warmed to Tessa enough to feel too sorry for her. She keeps being horrible to people when they're trying to be nice, and I don't feel that Downham has written the characters in enough depth for me to FULLY sympathise, although I have shed a few tears already!!!

That's really cool! I wish I had the time to read a book all in one day at the moment! I suppose I will be able to do that pretty soon. My exams finish in two weeks so I'll be okay to read properly then 3nodding

What would you recommend I read most out of all the ones you've read in that little list of yours??


Well, out of Somebody, Snatched, Mr. Was and Invisible it would really depend on what you want.

Somebody is about a girl that lives with her father and brother and they move around a lot and have to dye their hair and change their names and she ends up trying to find her past.

Mr. Was is about a boy who finds a door that takes you 50 years into the past in his dead grandfather's house and he has ALL KINDS of adventures there.

Invisible is about a boy who has this mental disorder like thing.. only he's really smart he just imagines/sees things that aren't real or are altered. It's really good just hard to describe without giving anything away..

Snatched was kind of juvenile. About a kidnapping mystery in highschool but the charecters are kind of hard to believe. Not the best book..

But since then I've finished Rash and started Hole in the Sky. Rash is about a boy who is accused of spreading a rash throughout his high school and he ends up going to jail and he's working on this McDonald's plant and the person in charge has them doing all these illegal things.

It's your choice. Which sounds most interesting?

I think 'Somebody' sounds like the most interesting one!! I may have to look into getting that one ordered! smile Sounds like my kind of read.

I've nearly finished 'Before I die' now. I didn't really like it TOO much to begin with, and I didn't think that the characters were in enough depth for me to feel any kind of strong emotions towards the character, but I shed a few tears for it at last. So I think perhaps the ending might be a little more satisfying than I first thought. 3nodding
Shackleton's Stowaway by Victoria McKernan. I highly recommend this book.
LOTR: The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
I am currently reading Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower of Stephen King's Dark Tower series.

Honestly, this has been my favorite book series of all time. While it is graphic at times and contains a fair amount of swear words, it's a fantasy novel like no other. I find it provokes a lot of thought and has encouraged me to read more of King's works, which I would otherwise not touch (I'm easily frightened). I love all of the characters, but one of them actually somewhat requires that you read a previous work of his to actually connect with him.

LOTR: The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien


That's cool.
I never actually got further than The Hobbit. I loved that one, but reading the actual Lord of the Rings didn't appeal to me.
I tried reading the first LOTR book, but I got distracted by another book and that was it. sweatdrop

Oh right.
I've only read Green Mile by him. I loved that one, but I haven't looked at any of his other works.

Would you recommend this series, or is there one that you would recommend above it?
