[Thanks so much for making this topic!

Right now, I'm interested in a lot of different kinds of books for different reasons. I like the Harry Potter series. 3nodding

I also like to read the books that a lot of these recent movies are based on. razz Like LoTR, Harry Potter, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, War of the Worlds, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, etc.

eek I didn't realize there were so many!

Plus there are tons more based on comic books. 3nodding ]

gonk i read to much to remember all the names but i remember the authors, these were cool to me

Scott Westerfield, Uglies: about this society were at sixteen you get an operration and it turns you pretty and u get to live in this supercool city where all you do is party and have fun, but there is a seriious drawback in getting this surgery, but you'll find out if you read the book, it's a trilogy also

Scott Westerfield cont. PEEPS: cool book aboput this disease thats transmitted by like having sex or kissing or stuff like that, and it makes you crave blood, really cool book, funny, exciting and alot of info on different diseases and bacteria in some of teh chapters

((Scott Westerfield writes really cool books check him out))

um i just recently read a Cynthia Voight book called Homecoming which i belive is the first book in the Tillerman cycle, it's really good also

um i recently found a good series called Spy High ((yah i kn o it sounds lame)) but dont let the name fool you like it did me, this is very serious series with death, real emotions, and way more crap than teenagers should be dealing with

oh yeah i read a AWESOME book called Naughts and Crosses by Sarah Blackman i believe it's really good you see naughts are white and crosses are black and it's like a reverse racism thing, but with black ppl being all wealthy and crap and the white ppl being kinda poor and being discriminated against, the main characters are Callum and Sephy, Sephy is a cross and Callum is a naught and thier friends and thats all cool until Callums mom gets fired by Sephy's mom which puts a strain on thier friendship, and as things progress in the story it turns into a kind of Romeo & Juliet, yah thats right a forbidden love, the biook is AWESOME READ IT

ok thats all i can think of right now
