Revolution By Jennifer Donelly ~

I remember reading it three times. So many things are happening at the same time and it's all so interesting. It's easy to understand as well (for me)

Another book is Elsewhere By Someone :p

This book is about the afterlife, it's one of my favorites as well. This one is super easy to read, you can skim through it if you're good enough.

Hmmmm.... I'll take it down to three books

THE WALKING DRUM by Louis L'amour

I love this book. It's about a boy who searches for his father who was captured & made a slave. He travels the world becoming a jacked scholar. Meeting characters, going to different parts of the world's, and ultimately to the "Valley of Assasins". The book has a lot of history tied in, and the romance piece was great.



LAST OF THE BREED by Louis L'amour

This book is about a man who was testing planes for the U.S during the Cold War, was captured and taken prisoner in Russia. Escaping the prison he had to get to Alaska from Russia. Towards the end basically all of Russia is chasing this guy. It's such a good book >.<



Fair Blows The Wind by Louis L'amour

This book is amazing. As a Irish boy of royal blood, he was taught by his father. Men came after him and his dad because of their "royal blood". He escapes, though his dad dies. He begins travelling the world becoming an expert swordsman. Getting trained by many men, and having many enemies & fights. Everyone should read this book ;3

Guardian Angel by William Sine

It's pretty funny at parts and has some really awesome stories.

The book I enjoyed reading most was The Last Olympian of the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, because I personally love adventure, humour and mythology and this book has all these qualities combined. If I could recommend a book series it would definitely be the Percy Jackson series because it literally is like an RPG without playing. Also can anyone recommend a book to me and I haven't read one in a long time. Another favourite is the Throne of glass series by Sarah J. Maas and the Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer.

My favorite book by now is Inferno by Dan Brown. Although I enjoy reading books, I'm far too lazy and unmotivated to do so :sorry:

I really enjoy reading. I do have a favorite, but it's not really popular like The Hunger Games or Harry Potter.

The book is called "Flip" by Martyn Bedford. It's a book about a boy who woke up in another body and a whole different area, while his real body was somehow in a coma at the hospital.

My second favorite is a book series called Escape From Furnace by Alexander Gordon Smith. I have the first book with me and I really suck at explaining so I'll just copy the description:

"Furnance Penitentiary is the world's most secure prison for young offenders, buried a mile beneath the Earth's surface, Alex Sawyer is the "new fish". Convicted of Murder he didn't commit, sentence to life without parole, he knows he has two choices: find a way out, or resign himself to death in the darkness at the bottom of the world. Except in Furnace, death is the least of his worries. The prison is pure evil, where inhuman creatures in gas masks stalks the corridors at night, where giants in black suits drag screaming inmates into the shadows, where deformed beasts can be heard howling from the blood-drenched tunnels below.
Escape is Alex's only option. But it's not just about saving his own skin. The more he discovers, the more he understands that he is going have to do whatever it takes to expose this nightmare hidden from the eyes of the world."

They're my tops. Flip is my number 1 favorite while Escape From Furnace is is 2nd :p

Harry Potter is an amazing book series. It's filled with action, a bit of humor, and definitely lots of character development. However, I feel like that book is usually mentioned way too many times when it comes to books, and I don't blame the fans. But there are some other books worth reading that I feel are worth mentioning,
Animal Farm - Some animals on a farm kick the farmer off and form a society. But will they be any better off? I thought I was gonna HATE this book when I first started reading it. At the end, I found it to be very good, and I enjoyed it the whole way through.
Lord of the Flies - A bunch of kids are stranded on an island and form their own society. However, two boys hate eacher, causing one of them to leave and form his own society. But as time goes on, they become savages. No adults can help them now. It's an amazing book.
To Kill a Mockingbird - Scout and Jem Finch are two kids who has a lawyer father. They have fun for a while until one day, his dad has to defend a man against a biased court system. This book is filled with many life lessons, so I definitely recommend it.
Sunrise Over Fallujah - A new soldier, inspired to join the army after 9/11, starts his new adventure. But he soon finds out the truth about war. He finds out that there's way more going on, and way worse, than what the media reports. It's one of the best books with lots of feels.

:cat:My favourite book is " the giver "and I know some people don't think it's good so did I , I got forced to read that book in my 8th grade year and I was like ugh it's a story about a kid who is different from society.:sleep::sleep: But omg it's not just any society like they don't know what love is or animals they get assigned their jobs and their children is given to them like they don't even know what death is and this kid he gets the burden of knowledge he knows what pain is , war , and cruelty while nobody else is aware of this. And he can't even share his knowledge with the world :cry::cry::cry:
It just has such a good setting and plot but that only my opinion

I love reading. I've been meaning to try an audio book, but I don't I'd like as much. When you read a book yourself, you imagine the characters your way. I'm sure you can do that w/audio books, but you hear the characters words in their voice, not yours. My favorite isn't an old time classic, like a Stephen King novel or a popular George R. R. Martin novle, mine is a new series called A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sara J Maas. I can understand and relate to the character so much, and it's such a good story, I actually just put it down for a while, I've been reading for some time. Another one of the close seconds to my fav. is Incarceron by Catherine Fisher. Great plot, memorable characters, everything a good book should have(in my opinion).

My favorite book is The Phantom Tollbooth by Jules Feiffer. It's about a boy named milo that is bored to death in the beginning of the book. He goes into a mysterious tollbooth sending him to the kingdom of wisdom. The kingdom hasn't been well since the two princesses ,rhyme & reason, have been exhiled. Milo and two companions are set out to find the princesses to restore the castle. The book has a lot of wordplay and puns like splatoon and has valuable lessons along throughout the book.
