Kids/Teens Book Club discussion

I'm looking for some good books to expand my reading, so I think your suggestions and answers would really help.

I don't have an all-time favourite, but if I did it'd probably be Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, followed closely by To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

MY fav is SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT saga but (cique du freak) is really good and so is (Ranegers apprentice)also(Leven thumps) (the demonata) ( percy jackson) (harry potter) and (artemis fowl)

My all time favorite series (I can't just pick books) are Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, and The Lord of the Rings. I love to Kill a Mockingbird too.

My all-time fave series are Harry Potter, Twilight Saga, and The Clique.

LOL everyone likes Dustfinger! :)

I haven't watched the movie!! Is it good?

NO. I didn't like it, they add so much that's not in the book!!!!

i liked eliza bennett though. i saw her in chitty chitty bang bang a few years back. she's adorable

Ahhh Chitty Chitty Bang Bang... love that movie. :)

THE CHILDCATCHER!!!!
scary.

Definitely scary. Scary enough to provoke nightmares, at least when I was young anyway. xD

haha yeah, and to think: magnus bane resembles him! :o

I LOVE CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG!!!!!!
the child catcher gave me nightmares when i was little, i used to kick at my bed, and throw punches at the matress to injure him if he was hiding.
And Dick Van Dyke was AWESOME! so was Benny Hill!!!!!


Amelia, ive seen the HOLES movie. THAT is a great film!!!! Sigourney Weaver was good i thought. But all in all exceptional.

yes indeed! :D

I haven't seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in a while, even though we have it on DVD. The Maximum Ride books are amazing! some of my all-time faves.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

Though Naked Lunch could definitely take the title soon enough.

That movie scared me when I was little. And my little sister.

how can anyone pik?!?!?!? there are to many!!!!

yeah, i know. thats why i created my book shelf for my all time faves/ best books ever. (as i have a bunch of 4-star rated books. lolz

i just started to rate every book that i ever liked with five stars and it feels realy nice :)

lol. i try and rate books accuratley, but i have to go back and rerate them from time-to-time

yep. me too.

So what does everybody like reading. What Genre????

Personally, i like fantasies, mystery, adventure (just a little action) and a tad bit of horror.
I love suspense too.

fantasies (especially YA)
historical fiction
historical nonfiction

i really, REALLY dont like realistic fiction or chick-lit :((( i cant seem to get into those!

I like anything except for sci-fi, modern romance, and those stupid high school drama books.

down with those stupid high school drama books!

Yes! Burn them! (one of the few instances where I would actually approve of burning a book)

there is a high-school drama book called RIGHT WHERE IT HURTS.
its actually quite enjoyable. a bit inappropriate at times, but really very good.

Its about a 17 year old named Slade, and he is quite poor.
He moves to a new High School and makes friends etc etc, but he also meets Mallory, who is a "goody-two shoes, stuck up, pretty rich girl"
In art class they sit next to each other, and then after a while they start being friends. All Slades' friends leave him, and every one thinks he is weird, being in a relationship with Mallory.
Then Mellory comes to school with a huge bruise over her shoulder, not wanting to talk about it.
SHe comes to school with fresh bruises every week.
One day Mellory has a piano recital in front of the whole school, she stuffs it up and every one laughs.
After its over, Slade is waiting for her out side and her hears a large bang.
More of this kind of think happens, and Slade realizes that Mallory is emo.
He tries to help her, and she stops.
One week after school, Slade gets a call from Mallorys mum at eleven at night. She is crying, saying that Mallory is missing, her window is open, and there is blood everywhere.


It is a very touching, serious and realistic book.
It is a high-school drama, but a good one. I stuffed up in the explanation-but its good :D

I like YA, fantasy, sci-fi, realistic fiction, and historical fiction books.

I can't stand most chick-lit books, but JUST LISTEN and THIS LULLABY both by Sarah Dessen are exceptions. :)

ok haha this is hard...

my favourite is the V.A (vampire academy series)
i liked evernight by claudia gray
*In the mind of gideon rayburn by Sarah Miller
*My bestfriend has issues by sarah marney
*Stargirl

Oh, Stargirl was good. It made me start dropping pennies on the ground. :)

havent read it.

Cool, I'll check it out. By high school drama books, I mean the ones where everyone is sleeping around with everyone, and everyone is constantly getting drunk, and that sort of stuff. Ugh, I hate it when people act like all teens are like that.

I didn't like Stargirl the first time I read it, but I liked it the second time I read it.
