UK Book Club discussion

I need all the help I can get!

Are you the teen? (sorry I'm new here). What do you like to read (or what does the teen like), what are his/her interests?

Yeah, I'm the teen. I'll read anything from adventure to romance. Pretty much anything, really.

I used to read loads of Stephen King stuff as a teen.

11/22/63 is his latest one, well worth a read.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

Sorry, Shannan, a shameless plug, but you asked: my young adult novel (complete with blurb) at:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tuli-in-the-E...

Haha. I'll take a look.

Okay well you may like The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare The first book is City of Bones - it's urban fantasy.

I read a lot of Young Adult books so most of my suggestions may be in that genre lol. But I'll also ask my middle daughter for some suggestions she's a voracious reader and she even loves all the classics (unilke her parents who don't have very many classics that we loved lol).

OK. Thanks for your help!

I was looking through my shelf here on Goodreads and came up with some more recommendations for you. I don't know how old you are but my 15 year old daughter has read most of these as well so I'm basing this on that fact :-) Oh and also most of these books are American publishings so not sure how available they are to you if you're in th UK

Okay I'll stop there - I think I'm getting a little carried away but at least you have a bunch to choose from lol.

OK. Let's just say I'm not yet 15. Haha.

lol that's fine I think most of the books I've suggested are fine for younger readers, particularly if you already read a lot.

You would be surprised at how much I read!

I figured you did :-)

Haha. I like your recommendations.

yay, I'm glad :-) All of those books are favorites of mine so hopefully you'll enjoy them too.

Thanks for your list. I've just been through it (in between other jobs) and picked a few out. I have loads of books in my TBR shelf now!

awesome!

Have you read the Shane Peacock series, about young Sherlock Holmes ? I really enjoy those, they are quirky and get even better later in the series. Eye Of The Crow

I'll check those out some time, thanks.

I don't know if you'll find them too young, but The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton or any others of hers, which are classics or ones I liked very much, Walk Two Moons or Chasing Redbird by Sharon Creech. Try The Chrysalids by John Wyndham as well.

OK. Thanks.

i've been enjoying the Time Riders novels by Alex Scarrow

1984 by Orwell, read this a couple of times as a teenager.

Thanks, all.
