@ssshelbbyy

I love books!

My favourite series is the Sigma Force series by James Rollins!

I also like:
The Cotton Malone series by Steve Berry
The Alexander Hawke series by Ted Bell
The Samuel Carver series by Tom Cain

My favourite types of books are the ones about disasters that could destroy the world. (Like volcanoes, earthquakes, nuclear explosions, and contagious viruses!)

@ssshelbbyy

asdfghjkl I love TFIOS! John Green is absolutely amazing!!! I can't wait to see Shailene and Ansel. 😊

My top three favorites:
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
** I love him so much. ❤️ I need to read the Shadow series and finish Ender's Quartet.
Maze Runner by James Dashner
** Ahh this man is a genius at writing!!!
The Mortal Instruments & Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare
** Don't even get me started on how amazing Cassie is. I love her books and her characters. Will especially. 😃

My list goes on a long way.. Like Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, Divergent, Matched, Delirium (Only read the first book though), and a bunch more I can't remember. xD

ssshelbbyy • 28 December 2013 at 3:58 PM

i didnt even know jurassic park was a book! i do enjoy the first movie! i have never seen the others. the maize runner, and thirteen reasons why are on my list! and i would also like to read the pretty little liars! i watch the show! do you? and why did you stop reading them? @7731826

i havnt heard of any of those books actually! i think i might like them! one of the books im currently reading is called the 5th wave, its a best seller, its kind of a world ending disaster, although of a different kind. it was very unexpected! i really have enjoyed it so far! i'm a little over half way through! @solaris

John Green is absolutlely amazing! i have read most of his works of art, have you watched his youtube? He is just marvelous. i just adore his ability to come up with the weird quarks that every one of his characots has, i think Agustus is a wonderful example from TFIOS. i realllllly want to buy the t-shirt! also in his book Looking For Alaska is another wonderful example of his ability to create charactors. although i havnt finished that one yet! im actually in the process of reading lots of books right now! And i have all of those book you mentioned on my list! i have read the hunger games, exept for mocking jay! i havnt gotten around to it yet. i love Harry Potter, Percy Jackson although i did get into but i quit after the third book i believe, i cant remeber i would like to read those again, because Rick Riordan is actually kind of a geniues! i love his sense of humor in the books! and the Mortal Instuments is one i have wanted to read for a long time! along with the city of bones, and E Enders game! and many of others!
one that i request you to read and tell me what you think of it is stung by bethany wiggins, its not very well known, i reallly enjoyed it! its a distopian book, its falls into a very simalar catagory as the books that you listed! she is releasing a second book! im not sure when im gonna check on it! but i highly suggest it! @sandstorm99

I have heard great thing for all of those exept i could just never get into them personally! they seemed boring to me! ☹️ maybe i could try again sometime! @starling

oh and apparently the second book to stung is out! ☹️ i missed it! its called cured! im gonn ahave to pick that up soon! @sandstorm99

Deleted • 28 December 2013 at 4:12 PM

@Ssshelbbyy

I have heard of the Inkheart series. I always wanted to read those books but never got any time to read them. Right now I am working on The Golden Compass and the Wings of Fire series.

spiritkoi • 28 December 2013 at 4:12 PM

@ssshelbbyy @starling @sandstorm99 @solaris

I LOVE books!!! I eat them up! 😋 I can't pick favorites... But a few that stand out are:

Kim by Rudyard Kipling
The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare


I looked over my list... And I just realized I read a lot of the older books. 😋

ssshelbbyy • 28 December 2013 at 4:16 PM

i havnt heard of either of those! maybe ill try to read the inkheart series at least the first one! a couple of my friends told me thry think i would like them! im not even really sure what they are about! i like happy books or more individual books but sadly the thing right now is series of distopian! i like them i just never get around to finishing the whole series! and they are so depressing! im not really sure i have a "style" or "book personality" but i do like mysteries, im soon working on reading the tale of the hundred year old man who jumped out the window and disapeared! also im reading the like of pi, and the book thief right now! @starling

tahts really interesting! ive never read any of those! but they are classics so i should get around to it! But i do really love Edgar Allen Poe! hes an older author maybe older? i dont really know! 😃 @spiritkoi

7731826 • 28 December 2013 at 4:22 PM

@sandstorm
Omg you read the Maze Runner? I'm loving it so far, I'm on book two 😊

@ssshelbbyy
I watched some of the show, I haven't seen it since the season 3 finale. I don't really know why I stopped, I just got wrapped up in other books and tv shows(cough cough theWalkingdead, Americanhorrorstory, Breakingbad cough cough)

spiritkoi • 28 December 2013 at 4:23 PM

@ssshelbbyy You should read the Inkheart series. It was amazing! I love classics but I read any book I can get my hands on. 😸

ssshelbbyy • 28 December 2013 at 4:24 PM

@sandstorm i dont watch the walking dead! and everyone tells me i should! i just dont like zombie stuff! ive never even seen it! but Pretty Little Liars is probably my favorite show! other then The Bib Bang Theory! and the Carrie Diaries! i absoulty love that one!

i hope i will get around to it soon!! @spiritkoi

spiritkoi • 28 December 2013 at 4:32 PM

@ssshelbbyy For some reason I'm not getting your ping.... :/

sandstorm99 • 28 December 2013 at 5:26 PM

@ssshelbbyy

I haven't read any other books by John Green yet! I really need to get my parents to get me them. 😊 And my friends have forced me to sit there and watch the VlogBrothers with them! Mockingjay will break your heart. </3 But you should really finish Percy Jackson! I absolutely loved the fourth book, Battle of the Labyrinth. The Infernal Devices is better than the Mortal Instruments in my opinion. But both of them are amazing... Keep in mind that Cassandra Clare is evil... And you have to have to have to have to HAVE TO read Ender's Game! Orson Scott Card is absolutely brilliant!! It's such an amazing science fiction series. He has based 14 books all around that topic, and it pains me that I don't have enough money to buy it all. xD
Thanks for the recommendation!! I need to go get it now!

@7731826

Yes!!! James Dashner = Ahhhhh!!!!!!
I didn't read the Death Cure yet (Last book) and I really need to. 😊 I really liked his prequel, the Kill Order, best of all.

sarahzafirah • 29 December 2013 at 6:44 PM

@ssshelbbyy TFiOS! 😃 I thought I was the only one. xD I also absolutely love Let It Snow and Looking For Alaska. 😉 Have you read those?

lokittyhazahulk • 4 January 2014 at 7:43 PM

@ssshelbbyy

Book-lover alert. I can, will, and have stayed up all night reading.

Favorites That I Am Currently Attempting to Collect:
-Warriors by Erin Hunter. I have the whole first two series and the first book of the third as well as two of the standalones. I've read everything else. Even the bears stuff, but that wasn't as interesting to me.
-Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey. Read them, loved them, need to get them.
-Books of Valdemar by Mercedes Lackey. I've got the Gryphon, Arrows, and Magic trilogies.
-Dragon Jousters by Mercedes Lackey. Got all four books.
-The Belgariad series and The Malloreon series by David Eddings. My dad owns those. Read them, need to get them for meself. I've recently gotten Belgarath the Sorcerer and Polgara the Sorceress, the two standalones, for Christmas so that's a yay!
-Camber of Culdi series by Katherine Kurtz. Again, dad owns them, want my own.
-The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott. I have the first three books. Ought to re-read those...
-Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. Got Eragon, read the others. Really, REALLY want the others 'cuz that's one of the best series I've ever read. So much detail! I was majorly disappointed with the movie. XP
-Inkheart trilogy. I definitely read the first two books, dunno about the third. Should get back to that. Didn't much like the movie though I suppose it wasn't as bad as Eragon. Dustfinger is totally my favorite.

Truthfully, I do believe I've forgotten most of the books I've ever read. When I was 10 I discovered my dad's Star Trek collection, mowed though it over the course of a year, and the rest is history. Ever since I got my laptop, though, I've been big on fanfiction. For that I mainly read Hogan's Heroes, The Hobbit and LotR, Avengers, X-men, Star Trek, Star Wars, The Fast and the Furious, Stargate, Supernatural, Merlin, A-Team, Riddick, and Once Upon a Time.

univea • 4 January 2014 at 11:32 PM

I love books! ❤️ I like almost everything though, and I don't like to choose one good book/series over another. Especially if they're both good. DX That doesn't mean I don't secretly think that anyone who debates those two completely hypothetical books is wasting their time... I mean, come on, isn't hypothetical book 1 better than hypothetical book 2? But I don't want to admit it, since hypothetical book 2 was great as well, and hypothetical book 1 did have its flaws. Either way, hypothetical book 3 surpasses both of them, and I have no shame in admitting it.
(Yeah, these are actual books in my head, I'm just not sure I know which ones.)
...
I confuse myself. Like, I know which ones, but each one is also 3 others. And I don't know which goes where or which is better... okay, forget everything I just said, if you want to know if I like something you'll just have to ask. Not that I can see a reason to do that. I spent, like, half an hour writing this post, though most of it was just staring at the screen and wondering why I can't update Java. Great, now I'm wondering if I should even submit this post. It seems irrelevant. Yolo, I guess. I'm doing it before I can change my mind! 😋

The deltora quest series
The string of pearls (newest one, cant remeber who its by)
Once, then and now
Most horror stories 😃

ssshelbbyy • 5 January 2014 at 7:38 PM

@univea i usually get very bored with series!! and i feel like i have to read all of them if i started them!

@purrclan i have the graveyard book on my shelf to read! i just havnt gotten around to it. i recently read the 1st to the giver trilogy! and loved it, im hoping to pick up the other two soon! i want to read the Enders game! and i have read the hunger games and catching fire but i havnt gotten around to reading mockingjay yet!

@crazy_feline ive never actually read any of those!

but you should really consider reading tfios (The Fault In Our Stars) i honestly think that i will continuously think of that book and consider it my fall time favorite. The author, John Green is absolulty fantastic. the book is a tale about a patient with cancer, although the book could be very depressing and sad, but John made the story very thought provoking and interesting.

morgana • 5 January 2014 at 7:48 PM

@spiritkoi I LOVED the Inkheart series. I wish they had come up with more than just the 3 books.

@purrclan Have you read the series that stem off of the Percy Jackson series? I can't remember the name off of the top of my head. I just remember that they are Roman instead of Greek.

spiritkoi • 5 January 2014 at 7:55 PM

@morgana I know!!! And the series is called the Heroes of Olympus...

jubjubloversboy • 5 January 2014 at 10:47 PM

@spiritkoi

The Heroes of Olympus?

i.e what I call the Percy Jackson series continued? XD


But really, I love it. Can't wait till the last book!

purrclan • 6 January 2014 at 9:45 AM

@ssshelbbyy
Trilogy? You mean quartet. Lois Lowry published the last one just recently.
The Giver, Gathering Blue, Messenger, and Son.

@morgana
Yeah. When I said Percy Jackson, I meant the books in that universe in general. 😋

cloud9234513 • 6 January 2014 at 10:32 AM

Mine Is Called Well Witched , Lemony Snicket Books and Gerinmo Stilton books

morgana • 6 January 2014 at 6:24 PM

@purrclan Ah okay. 😋 By "that universe" so you mean the Kane series too?
I'm not sure which I liked best, Percy Jackson series, the Kanes or Heroes of Olympus.

@spiritkoi Thanks for the name of the series! I was too lazy to get up and look for the books.

spiritkoi • 6 January 2014 at 6:26 PM

@morgana Wow. And I think the Percy Jackson universe is in the same universe as the Kane Chronicles. The author hints at it multiple times....

morgana • 6 January 2014 at 6:30 PM

@spiritkoi Good to know.




I also liked the True Blood books (have to finish the last 3) and Game of Thrones.

fallenangel1550 • 6 January 2014 at 6:57 PM

For no one in particular:

I just stumbled upon this thread and it is giving me great reading ideas!!

I have to say that there are several series that have been mentioned that I also love, and it is nice I am not the only nerdy bookworm here. 😃

Anyway, I will let you guys get back to your chatting. 😊
