What have you been reading recently? What should everyone else be reading right along with you? Post those suggestions right in here.

I just finished reading . I really liked it, and I would recomend it to all of the 1,372 people in this group, if they see this post.

I've read all those except Room and Huckleberry Finn. But yeah, the ones I have read are awesome. ;)

Ugh Chaos Walking literally so good.

Books I love:

Brigid *Flying Kick-a-pow!* wrote: "My fave series evahhh:

YES.

OOH! FOUND MORE BOOKS.



Its a series.

This is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. It's definitely unprecedented. Unique storyline. Unique writing style. Very emotionally gripping. Wonderful characters. Friendship, not romance, centered. Everything about it was ajksdlf;jasdf.

Yes, literally.

UGH I want to read that so badly. I plan to do that before the month is over.

You do. I was not expecting it to be so world-shattering, but it was. It's a little boring in parts, because there's a lot of technical descriptions about airplanes and whatnot, but it's worth slogging, through. And you can tell how much thought she put into everything, because everything connects and links up so perfectly. And all of the historical details are amazing. And the characters and their relationships were so real. And I laughed and cried and felt all the things.

Sorry. Rambling. I really like this book.

Haha, nice. :D Well, I will discuss it with you when I finish!

Oh, another book I read recently that I really liked is: . So yes. Other people should read that because I need to fangirl about it with them.

Hmm, I couldn't decide whether or not to read that ... but maybe I shall.

I'd like to suggest by Lisa Mangum. It didn't seem like my type of book at first, but it has romance that doesn't overpower the rest of the story, lovely descriptions, fleshed-out characters, and it has just grown on me a lot.

The summary might just sound like your everyday realistic fiction romance novel, but it's not.

AAAAH YES IT WAS SO GOOD. I need the next book so badly.

WARM BODIES

I'm going to see the movie tonight with all of my friends! I couldn't get into the book, but the movie looks hilarious.

I saw Warm Bodies last week! I thought it was really good. Nicholas Hoult (the main character) especially did a really great job.

The book is boring, but i hope the movies good.

Yay! It looked like it could be a fun movie or it would end up being really lame and trying to hard and fall flat. I'm glad it was good. And yes. Nicholas Hoult is fantastic.

i want to go see it but i don't think anybody will take me

Like it wasn't the best movie I've ever seen but I thought it was really unique and funny.

Unwind was AMAZING!!!!!

YAY! I'm glad you liked it, Yue. :D So good. Yes, Lav, me too ... me too ...

Maggie Steifvater is always posting things about the next book on her Tumblr and I'm just like GET OFF OF TUMBLR AND WRITE WOMAN HURRY UP STOP TUMBLING WRITE WRITE WRITE.

I was thinking about buying it on the Kindle Store. Like, how many stars would you rate it?

Haha I'm just making sure I want it, that's all.

I rated it 4, because some parts were slow. But I feel like now that I've let the book settle in my mind, it might be a 5 because I miss it so much. The writing was beautiful and the characters were amazing and realistic and fun to read about and I loved all of the descriptions of travel and yeah it was really great. I think you'd like it, since you loved Anna and the French Kiss. It's similar (Paris and attractive boy) but definitely different enough that it won't feel like a copy. It's also less a bit romance-y and more self-discovery.

Hmmm, I think I'll give it a shot, after all. I liked her other books for the most part .... I had some mixed feelings about them. But this one does sound good.

Well I really love travel books. Like 13 Little Blue Envelopes is one of my favorite books because I romanticize the traveling so much.

Alright, I think I'll go for it

Yeah, I love travel books too! Mainly because I love traveling and I'm still too young to do much if it. And this one showed a really interesting side to travel that a lot of travel books don't. And also Willem, the main guy is a great complex character so it's not one of those books where the main guy is simply a hot guy with no real depth other than a lead for the girl. It makes me really happy when I find books with somewhat cliche plots that aren't cliche at all.

(Allow me to randomly enter the conversation. XD)

Whoa, the main guy's name is Willem? I have a friend named Willem but I've never heard the name anywhere else.

Yep! He's Dutch.

This book is mostly aimed at girls. It is called 13 Treasures. It is really good! It's a trilogy but I haven't read the two books yet.

Does anyone have any recommendations for fans of Graceling or Shadow and Bone?

Also, I'd recommend Going Bovine by Libba Bray to anyone.

Maddie wrote: "Does anyone have any recommendations for fans of Graceling or Shadow and Bone?"

So like, fantasy/mythology stuff? Because in that case, I'd have some recommendations:

The Raven Boys
A Great and Terrible Beauty
The Diviners
The Monstrumologist
The Secret Hour
Angelfall
Daughter of the Forest
Cinder
Dragonfly
Mistwood
Poison Study
Wildwood Dancing

Hopefully that helps?

Yay! I love that book ... and Libba Bray in general. She's awesome.

You are my hero, I've never heard of like half of these. This definitely helps.

Oh WOW. This group looks looks so different! I like it.

I recommend Hex Hall. I just read it and it is surprisingly good!

Sweet! :)

Oh, and girls/women should read What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell, for a dark 1940's coming-of-age mystery. It's one of my all time favorite books.

Libba is the best. Can't wait for Diviners book 2!

Grace wrote: I recommend Hex Hall

I read that the wrong way.…

I read What I Saw and How I Lied ... (And hey, why shouldn't guys read it too? :P) I liked the setting/atmosphere of the book but I remember having some mixed feelings about it. I think it was just that I had some trouble sympathizing with the main character.

And yes, I can't wait for the second Diviners book either! :)

I absolutley love this book. I got a couple of my other friends to fall in love with it too, but I wnat to hear other's opinions too.

I recommend matched, I have fallen in love with this series!!
