I love fantasy, like the Gemma Doyle Trilogy or Eragon or twilight. I'm thinking a about reading the host, but I'm not sure. There you go, your turn now. :) So what are you looking for?
lol, There's one book I think is aweesomme for fantasy (which I love). It's called Princess Pawn, it's a canadian book, so if your american, I don't know if you'll be able to find it. I want to read The Host as well. Fantasy is good, historical fiction (victorian is my fave era) or serious chick lit.
You know what's wierd is I've read books all like that. Their's this one book called The Clique by Lisi Harrison and it is a TOTAL chick lit. I love it.
I've heard of it, I might check it out. Have you ever read Maureen Johnson or Sarah Dessen books? I love those books!
Ok, I'll check it out. You should try reading the clique the girls in it are all like super rich, so you can like "experience" being rich. Haha! It's fun
lol. Both the authors are quite good (though I've only read one of Sarah Dessen's books). Ever heard of John Green? I finished The Abundance of Katherines a day ago, and it was really really awesome.
I LOVE the clique books, and really really really LOVE maureen johnson, read them, seriously. Also I read the Truth about Forever, it was really good.
Also I like Eva Ibbotson for a bit of chick-lit, her books A Company of Swans, The Countess Below Stairs, The Morning Gift, and A Song for Summer are really good, they r basically romances, but not like total romances.

I love love Eva Ibbotson. I've read Journey to The River Sea and The Star of Kazan. I really want to read her otehr books though. I love how she can fit all of these elaborate events into the books and never weigh it down. Both those books started by gypsie/indian boy obsession.
I haven't read all of them that you guys listed, but I want to read "The Countess Below the Stairs" and "The Truth About Forever" and "A Song for Summer". I like fantasy and mythology books. My favorite book ever is "The Warrior Heir" by Cinda Williams Chima, and it is TOTALLY awesome!
okok!!! read twilight! i think twilght has more depth than the Gemma Doyle series. i know a few of you will hate me for saying this but!!!! its true
btw i love the clique bookzzzz 222222!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I depise Twilight. And Gemma Doyle has soooo much more depth than it, and it's much better, like a million times better.
wait wait wait!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!! Y????????
I SAW IT dont take offence to what i wrote!!! cuz i totally dont hate you!!!! i just hate your review!!!!! fo corse we all have our opinions!!!!
It's okay, you have a right to your opinon. I personally believe that The Gemma Doyle Trilogy is a millon times better than Twilight, but you can think otherwise.
I will NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER read Twilight. It has vampires. I hate vampires.
the vampires are wayyyyyyy different in twilight than the sterotypical vampire...and the writing is amazing
Do the vampires still like to suck blood?
nawt human blood...and there arnt any places in the book where it describes it
Hmm....thats cool I guess. But I still am deathly scared of vampires. Hae been ever since I watched the movie "The Little Vampire". *chills*
U should all read The Faerie Path by Frewin Jones, which is kinda like the books, here's a summary of it i found...

OMGosh! I LOVE those books! My friend Carly just started reading them she says they are awesome! Those are some of my favorite books! I like the Sorcerer King best! But its sad about who dies...
And if you like Shakespear, the book Ophelia by Lisa Klein is very good too! Kinda lovey-dovey, probably rated PG-13, some things not appropriate for small children, but not HORRIBLE!
ooh I LOVE Ophelia!!! and i kno i almost cried when ______ died, i couldn't believe it, and I like ALL of them, can't pick one!!!
I couldn't belieive that Ophelia could hide it when she was _________ and at that place with all the _____! It seemed almost impossible!
Brigitte, I completely disagree. The writing is awwwffulllllll. I love rewritings of fairy tales and classic stories. Romeo's Ex is really good.
WAIT WUT WRITING IS AWFUL????????
Twilight. Bella droning on and on about Edward and how she is unworthy.... But! I'm, dare I say, LOVING New Moon right now, so perhaps I will be proven wrong....
EHMIGAWD!!!!! YOU ARE VERY WEIRD!!!!
I LOVE IT!!!! cuz i absolutlly love the Gemma Doyle series...i am about half way done w/ TSFT...im a slow reader..but when i finnish it i will be more involved!
Awesome! I hope you love the book! When your finished, and if your at all interested, join the roleplay, it's really awesome, (everyone's character are amazing, and so is everyone's writing) and everyone is welcome!
AWESOME!!!! but what exactly is roleplay??? i kinda confuzzled...
It's when you pretend to be characters in the same situation as books, (or whatever) but you have to finish the book first and found out exactly what happens and what situation we decided on!
Well I really like New Moon so far...but it's getting kinda boring with Bella. I promise I will give it a chance though! And will tell you what I think of it.
Good to know. I like Jacob a lot, sure he was a little cocky with Bella, but if anyone was at fault here, it would be Bella! For using him and not setting up boundaries!
oh when i read new moon i had to skip to the very end...i couldnt take it
4 days...nono!!! i read the whole book i just had to see what happend!!!!
