V the Maniac
Any one know a good Teenagered Romance novel... what A guy can like romance book?


I would suggest "Looking for Alaska" by John Green, but just to warn you, it does take a darker twist at the end. It isn't about being in love as much as falling in love. Beyond that, I can't really help you. sweatdrop

I like reading Tamora Pierce, and am looking for some good read-alikes. (Yes, I've read all the Harry Potters.) Sometimes I listen to audiobooks around my kids, so please, no strong language.

Does anyone know of any books similar to the "Pendragon" series? I really like the fantasy/reality theme of it.

I haven't read "Pendragon", but if you're looking for fantasy/reality try Garth Nix's "Keys to the Kingdom" series, Mercedes Lackey's "SERRAted Edge" series (and related titles), or a variety of books by Charles de Lint.

I would like to find a good page turning novel.

Please do not suggest Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. For I refuse to read them. Thank you smile

:: Gasp! :: You refuse to read LoTR or Harry Potter?

I found The Master Puppeteer by Katerine Patterson to be a page turner.

just for kicks as well

Actually, yes: The Seneca Fall mystery series by Miriam Grace Monfredo takes place just before, and during, the Civil War. (I started reading it because the original protagonist was a librarian smile ) They aren't fluffy reads, being well-researched historial pieces, with an eye toward the situations of minorities (women, Native Americans, slaves).

I'm looking for a non-fiction, somewhat inspirational book for my friend, who is ill and sometimes bedridden. I had a book picked out for her birthday (You Can Do It: The Badge Book For Girls), but it has a few too many things in it that she can't physically do anymore, so it wouldn't make a very good gift.

Or, if I can't find something like that, I'd like to send her a really good, diverse poetry anthology.

Can anyone pass along a few suggested titles?

I am also in need of a good book that revolts around technology, preferably young geniuses..
I hope to find something that's Like the Artemis Fowl series, or H.I.V.E.

I recently read the first two books of the trilogy The Dreaming Dark by Keith Baker. They were both very good and I am eagerly waiting for the bookstore to get the third one. The premise of the books is a world that has gone through a catastrophic war that killed many and changed the lives of all involved. The author, Keith Baker, is the creator of the world of Eberron, a world setting for Dungeons and Dragons fanfiction, and there are many other books by different authors set in the same world. (I've never played D&D, so don't let that part scare you off)

I would say that you could compare these books to The Wheel of Time (not sure about the other series as I haven't read it).

The first two books are The City of Towers and The Shattered Land. The last one is The Gates of Night.

Did you know that there's another H.I.V.E. book out? It's called The Overlord Protocol.
