For The L♥ve of Reading discussion

here's a way for us to share some of the books we've read in the past. you will say something like, "i want to read a book about new york." and the person responding might suggest Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close Up.

the person will answer the previous person's request and then make one of his/her own.

this is a way for us to share book ideas and challenge ourselves to think about books we've read (or books we'd like to read).

i'll start.

i want a book that is set in the city of Boston.

American Gods, i think, has parts in Boston
Man, this is hard



a bopok set in a unique parallel universe that is not Narnia(The Chronicles of Narnia), Glome (Till We Have Faces), the seven kingdoms (Graceling) or the dells (Fire) nor where A Game of Thrones is set

what about The Golden Compass? definitely something parallelism going on there!

a book with a tough heroine

there are so many...Graceling, or this Lullaby, Poison Study, The Hunger Games, City of Bones, Beautiful Malice...


with a very layered storyline and characters

The Luxe series by Anna Godbersen was really good. In my opinion it had a layered storyline and layered characters.

ok a book that has a good solid mystery (it can be a series and it doesnt have to be just under the mystery genre)

Beautiful Malice has a mystery, though its not the main part of the story.


a great epic book

The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale was great and I like The House of Night Series.

hmmm Lets see....a book with funny characters

the mortal instruments series. jace is hilarious.
the total tragedy of a girl named hamlet is also funny
percy from the lightning thief is also SO funny
anansi boys, american gods, and pretty much any other neil gaiman book

I don't know if the cat has to talk, but the cat from Terrier (Beka Cooper Series) I absolutely adore. You can tell he has personality all his own and if he could talk, he'd have loads to say. I'd firmly say he is one of my favorite characters in the book.

A fantasy book that takes place on the beach!

not all on the beach setting but they always seem to end up there. A book that as super powers.

(Stacy - Did you like that book?)

Spider's Bite book one in the Elemental Assassin series. A lot of the characters have elemental powers. It rocks!!

A book with Death as a character

The Book Thief


A book about a mother-daughter relationship

Fixing Delilah (added bonus - it also has a grandma!)

a contemporary fiction book that is different from the rest

Room


A non fiction book

Eat, Pray, Love


a fantastic book that is not very known

Once Bitten

a book where the lead character is totally nuts

@Stacy - I did, but I really didn't like it. I was curious what other people thought...
