Hello all! I know I haven't posted much lately, but I promise, the next book review (Eclipse By: Stephanie Meyer) will be up shortly. Until then I thought I'd post what I'd like to try to read this summer:

A Series of Unfortunate Events-Lemony Snicket
The Chronicles of Narnia-C.S. Lewis
A Fine Dark line-Joe R. Lansdale
Gone-Michael Grant
Now, I know that this list alone looks excesive, but you also have to figure in that I didn't put the "series" books in. The Keys to the Kingdom consists of seven books, as does The Chronicles of Narnia. A Series of Unfortunate Events is comprised of thirteen. So, my list is 54 books long. I've also sorted them (on a seperate piece of paper) into what's top priority and what's not, because many of these books, I would just like to re-read.
If you've read any of these books, tell me your opinion of them int the comments below. Thanks!
o my gosh, read gone first! and then hunger, and then lies!
ReplyDeletewarning: a series of unfortunate events is good for the first 5 or 6, then it just gets tedious. and i don't know if the giver+ companions are on the re-read list, but if they're not, read them after the Gone series. messenger is a real tear-jerker
City of Ember,The Talisman, Black House, Eragon series, The Giver, Gathering Blue, and Messenger are all pretty good.
ReplyDeleteLisey's Story is AMAZING (my favorite Stephen King book). Read it second.
The Book of Lost Things IS THE MOST AMAZING BOOK EVER! READ THAT FIRST!
--Anna
As of yet, I've added three books.
ReplyDeleteGone-Michael Grant
Paper Towns-John Green
Searching for Alaska-John Green
you should read This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness by Frank Peretti. They're adult novels, and it takes some major brain power to understand them, but it's well worth the effort. the writing is fantastic.
