OK.
Who's ever read the 'chaos walking trilogy' by Patrick ness. I honestly think they are the best books ever written!! Even better than (i'm not ashamed too say this) the percy jackson series.

Never read it.

@Zanib, I heard it was good! I tried reading the first book once, but I got really bored by it. I'm thinking of reading it again since many people said it's really good. I've read like, only 30 pages or so?

Anyways, I just Got the Fifth book for the Fablehaven Series! Only like... 13 pages in xD

I got like 7 other books from the library yesterday as well.... Trying to read them one by one.

to be honest, the first time i tried 'the knife of never letting go' I was bored to death, but then somewhere online, I heard that there would be a girl (if you know what i mean) in the story, so I tried reading it again, and it gets better around page 64. lol.

I put the first book in the fablehaven series on hold, and it's on its way, can't wait:)

The fifth Fablehaven book is so good! It's my favorite in the whole series!

I'm almost done the book. Like holy shizz man. It's really good! >.<

The first isn't as good at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and fifth xD Really good though! :)

Ohhh, I love the Ranger's Apprentice series. I can't wait until the next one comes out. *sigh* It came out in Australia on November, but it doesn't come out here until April. I find that unfair...lol :]

in that case i wont get it untill may-june...i hate it when books dont release at the same time in all the countries....=/

Haha, I know, Silena. April 18th though! I know, I got mixed up with the publication dates and was disappointed to find out that November's was for a different country, Soccer1o8.

I can't wait for either. Really, Denisa? I like the 1st Fablehaven better than the 2nd.

Yeah same here, but I find the last three as the best :)
I finished the book this morning! It's so good! I love the thought of Kendra & Bracken and her being an Eternal ^.^

I know, Denisa! It was perfect! Why are we lucky, Silena?

Currently reading "Nightsheade" pretty good so far. only about 40 pages in.

Nightshade is SO Good! :D

Lucky duck! Darn! Well, enjoy book 10 in March...*sigh*

I think stephanie mistook you, anyway, still a couple of my fav books come out early in the U.K soo i usually buy them online..

Oh, currently reading 'taken by storm' by ....
It's ok soo far, not too amayzing.

We don't get ours until April. It's coming out in March there right, Silena? Or did I misunderstand?

Did you guys read the lost symbol?
Im reading torment by lauren kate now, so far its really good (a bit to romancy for me but yeah) im only 50 pages in.

HEY THOO, I READ THE LOST SYMBOL BY DAN BROWN AND IT WAS AMAZING !!!

IF YOU GUYZ GET THE BOOK IN APRIL THEN I WOULD ONLY GET IT IN MAY STEPHANI!!

I know! the ending is so mind boggling of the lost symbol!

Oh, okay, so misunderstanding. Sorry, Silena. That really stinks!

I LOVE the hunger games, maze runner, and the dreamhouse kings series. Also, if you are really into mythical creatures try companion's quartet

i like hero by mike lupica

sisters by daniele stele was kinda nice too..

So does anyone read The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini?

nope, nada...sorry but i haven't even heard of it!!

i'll check it out at my library though...

It's good. Anyway, I was just looking for someone to share my excitement with.

Septimus Heap series by angie sage is pretty good :) i mean its keeping me afloat until the next kane chronicals book, but since ive just went through 5 books in 3 days not so much anymore. its a little bit more magical than mythical but hey gotta try something to bide time...does anyone know of similar books to the rick riordan ones that are just as good? btw i dont do slow books they have to catch me from the very beginning like rick riordans do...please & thanks!

Um, there's Brandon Mull.

.....hmm...thinking......sorry! i got a slow processing brain all of a sudden!! xD

So guys, I've recently heard of a new book. I've read a sample chapter on the authors blog for the book, Vampires Rule by K.C. Blake.

Here's a link to her group here on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/4...

Here's a link to her blog where you can read the sample chapter, it's pretty easy to find. Just go to the tab there that says Vampires Rule-sample chapter: http://kasi-kcblake.blogspot.com/

I thought the sample chapter showed a lot of promise and I'm not one to pick up every vampire book I find or hear of. She's a self-published author so I'm sure you'll have some hesitancies but I think it'll be worth the read. I haven't read the book myself yet though since it's only out as a ebook. I would just like to point out though that K.C. Blake did at one time have an agent for this very book (a whole entire year). But due to the whole explosion of vampire books at the time, they couldn't find a publisher for it.

There's a code she gave me so you can get it for free online so that might give you some extra incentive to try the book out. Go here: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/... to get the book. Here's the code for your free copy: RS97X. The code is only good for a little bit though so don't delay your decision for too long.

For those of you who miss the free copy code and later decide you'd like to give the book a try, here's a code for a .99 cent coupon: NH95W.

I recently read Leviathan and Behemoth. Really good, I can see why Rick Riordan recommended it for a read. I can't wait for Goliath, the last book, to come out. :]
