What are some of your other favorite non-series books?

I like all the John Green books.

Yes! I've only read Looking for Alaska and TFIOS, but I'm planning on reading Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines as soon as I finish all of the other books I want to read.

I have only read TFIOS but I can't wait to get some free time and read some of his other work!

Awesome :) Which books are you interested in reading by him?

Looking for Alaska looks amazing

I read that one. I thought it was pretty good, but it wasn't super spectacular. It could have just been that I wasn't into it enough or I was too busy when I read it, but I don't know. Just wasn't my favorite. But you should still read it!

which one is your favorite besides the fault in our stars?

that and Looking for Alaska were the only ones I've read. I do plan on reading an Abundance of Katherines and Paper towns at some point though.

Has anyone read The Name of the Wind? Some people are saying its better than Harry Potter. This cannot be possible can it?

Eleanor and Park
The Selection!

The program. super sad though.

@B: I've never heard of it. But no. Harry's potter will always be at the top!

yes nothing beats Harry Potter!

Divergent does!

NEVER!!!!! D=

Nothing can beat HARRY

Really, well, I really didn't like Harry Potter that much. My all time favorite book would have to be the Running Dream. It's so awesome and if you haven't read it yet, that's crazy and you must read it.

I will check it out =)

my sister had been telling me to read that book for years now. I just never have time. gah

I think anything that's billed as "The Next HP" is slight cause for alarm, personally. Harry Potter was a HUGELY groundbreaking series - people everywhere went crazy for it (and still do). :)

Respectfully, I've never actually heard of "The Name of the Wind"; but I still have my doubts...if it can live up to HP, I will be suitably impressed, and have to issue a most-sincere apology!

Thus far the audio book is BRILLIANT! I think though that this is partly due to the fact that the narrator is AMAZING! He does voices perfectly and completely draws you. I highly recommend the audio book and I don't even like most audiobooks! The book is beautifully written but I could understand if it was being read that it might be a bit boring and long.

what book is that?

Paper Towns, and Looking for Alaska are some of my favorite "stand-alone" books. I'm also a fan of AS King, and Laurie Halse Anderson, as well - I'll read ANYTHING by either of them. :)
