The Group For Neglected Books discussion

ok so just name the book you liked but nobody else has read. say something you liked about the book and we can all communicate. you might even find people who read the same "unpopular" books as you!

me first. Lily's ghosts.
this book had just the right amount of funny, romance, and spooky.
though really the reason it's so spooky is cause my name is lily, and i have an uncle named max like the lily in the book. (though he's not dead.)
this involved no spoilers as you would have found out he was dead about two pages in.

Ranger's Apprentice. I know they're popular, but you're the only person I know who's read them.

yeah. they deserved to be loved. also you didn't say WHY you liked them.

Will Treaty, Halt, Alyss, and Horace. I think that's a pretty solid explanation

i respect that.

The Queen's Thief series(The Thief, Queen of Attolia, King of Attolia, and A Conspiracy of Kings). I love these books, they have action, political drama, ect., and an awesome main character. By the way, can you change the name of this group so challenge is spelled right? Sorry to bother, I just like things spelled right.

oops. I'm horrible at spelling things. i've actually read the first book. i had no idea it was a series.

Cool,The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia are even better. :)

wow. I'll have to put them on hold.

I have not read A Conspiracy of Kings yet because Gen isn't really in it.

Another series I love that nobody else has read is Monster Blood Tattoo

i saw that one i think i've added it to my to-read list.
i hate when authors take a series than don't put the character we've gotten to know into one of the books.

Yeah, I agree

The Blue Sword by Robin Mckinley is good as well.

haven't heard of that one.
one of my favorites is So you want to be a wizard by Diane Duane.

I've never heard of that one, what is it about?

this girl Nita is hiding from bullies in the library and a book snags her finger. it's called so you want to be a wizard.
she takes it home and it turns out to be an actual manual on how to be a wizard.
then she meets this other wizard and they go on an crazy adventure.
the thing is though, i think the series gets better in the second one which is rare.

there's like 8 and the author is writing another. it WAS going to come out this year, but it's been moved up to next year. when i found that out i almost died. i'd all ready been waiting for so long!

Sounds interesting.

it is

I know Lily and Gabby have read Legend/Prodigy/Champion but it feel like they are under-appreciated

And Gabby when I'm finished reading TMI/TID, Maximum Ride, and Ender's Game, I'm going to read The Ranger's Apprentice

i feel like that too sometimes.

And there's this other series called Willow Falls. A lot of people know about the first one, 11 Birthdays, but I didn't even know that a fourth book was coming out until I saw somebody with one. And I was one of the series's biggest fans!

i knew it was a series but i haven't read it yet and read Finally first.

11 Birthdays is one of my all time favorite books that I read in elementary school

I've been meaning to check it out, but i have myself limited to ten books only, and i always go to the Teen section first and never get around to looking in the children section for fear of temptation.

another series i enjoyed that like no one has read was the Children of the Lamp. i just found out recently that there's a new one coming out.

The last book in the series is short but awesome. It takes place when they are 14

What is that about?

genies.
i read it a long time ago but i do remember it was really funny.
speaking of funny. the Name of this Book is Secret is another not much heard of book.

The Pendragon series. (Yes, Lily, I KNOW YOU'VE READ THEM!)I used to own 8/10 books but SOMEBODY borrowed them and "thought they returned them". *SPOILER ALERT* They didn't.

Ooh I love the secret series! I saw on your list that you've read all of them. I want to know what happens on the other side

Lily, your bday present will be a dictionary

why?

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL! Why else?

what did i spell wrong this time?

I've read most of the Pendragon books, but then they were almost too wierd.

Have any of you read Keeper of The Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger? Its about elves.

i haven't.
i'll look into it though.
Have you read any of Shannon Hale's books? i love them all.

Yeah, they are good.

If you read KoTLC Keefe is the best

just to be sure we're talking about a book by shannon hale right? i got confuzzled.

No, Keeper of The Lost Cities

I'm trying to think of a series I've read that Lily hasn't...

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (not exactly sure about books 2-4, but book 1 seemed good)

The Demon King series.

Museum of Thieves (Best. Museum. Ever.)
Tuesdays at the Castle (Best. Castle. Ever.)
The School for Good and Evil (fairy tale training, but evil-er than most fairy tale training books)
The Apothecary (alchemist types save the world)
Alex and the Ironic Gentleman (weirdest book ever)
The Boneshaker (creepy but fascinating)
Spindle's End (really interesting take on magic)
The Anybodies (sad but really funny)

TUESDAYS AT THE CASTLE??? ASDFGHJKL THAT BOOK IS AWESOME
