YOOOOO THATS COOL DUDE. Which of Brand Sand's books have you read?
I think you should give Stiefvater a read, particularly her Raven Cycle.
What other books have you enjoyed? Im always on the look out for something new to read!

I READ THE WHOLE RECKONERS TRILOGY IN LIKE TWO WEEKS IT WAS SO GOOD! LITERALLY!

*dies*

I think you might enjoy the Mysterious Benedict Society and its prequel. The books are about these especially gifted children who work for a extremely secret and small government organisation that works to bring down the main villain, Mr. Curtain.

It's very cool, and has a bit of every thing in it.

I agree.

Quote from: Skyblade on May 08, 2016, 03:51:07 PMThe Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane: Truly a novel for all ages, short and sweet. I don't know how to describe it, but I'm not forgetting it.
Correction: I recommend any novel by Kate Dicamillo. I reread Because of Winn Dixie last night, and it reminded me why the novel is so esteemed.

The ones I've read are the above two plus The Tale of Despereaux. I haven't read Tiger Rising, but knowing the author, it's also good, and it's on my to-read list. Sure, the books are primarily aimed at children, but they work for all ages.

Thanks, MatthiasMan, for the avatar!

The Tale of Despereaux will forever be one of my favorite books.

Huh, the last one's out? Also, dude, you're a slow reader. I read books one and two in. . . . Two and a half days.

With my free time, I've read some children's books lying around my house. Firegirl by Tony Abbott and Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner are both touching and inspiring.

I would also like to recommend any one of Ruskin Bond's books. They're really nice, are clean, and are a pleasure to read.

Eulaliaaa!

Has anybody read Go Set a Watchman? I've read To Kill a Mockingbird and enjoyed it, and I almost bought the second book today, but I was wanting to know what others thought of it first.
Just pretend there is something interesting and unique written here... I have nothing to say.
