What book are you reading?

[Creel_Lenslook]

This is true but we are heading in that direction

[Ariella_Newheart]

I'm rereading Eragon by Christopher Paolini. The writing isn't as good as I remember and I wouldn't recommend the series for younger readers, but I'm still enjoying it. I know lots of people love to beat up on the books, but I was wondering if anyone here has thoughts on it.

• It's good.
• It's okay.
• It's bad.
• Never read it!

Read them as a 5th grader. LOVED THEM!!

_{I heard a rumor he was writing more beyond the fourth book!}

[Emily_Purplebottle]

I read book one and half of two but couldn't really get into it. The author wrote them when he was like 15 so I wouldn't expect the writing to be spectacular.

[Beckendorf_Direscope]

I started reading the first chapter once. My honest, blunt, and uniformed opinion: It read like a watered-down lotr ripoff, so I stopped.

[Creel_Lenslook]

Oh yeah I read them maybe like 3 or 4 years ago and really liked them. I own the whole series so I do really enjoy them

[Elizabeth_Newroad]

My worst fear has been realized. I ran out of books to read. _Again.

Anyone got any books to recommend?

[Danyul_Braziervest]

The flight of the Silvers

It has some adult content in it, but it is not explicit.

Amazing book about alternate histories. I think it is the first in a series.

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

I recommend:
1. Spy School Series [Stuart Gibbs]
2. FunJungle Series [Stuart Gibbs]
3. Swindle Series [Gordon Korman]
4. Masterminds Series [Gordon Korman]
5. Under Locker and Key Series [Allison K. Hymas]
6. Paddington Series [Michael Bond]
7. Grump (and the other books that are associated with it) [Liesl Shurtliff]
8. The Complete Tails of Uncle Remus [J. Harris]
9. Breakout (I don't know the author, but it should have a blue cover?)
10. No 1. Car Spotter books [Atinuke]
11. The Mapmaker Chronicles [A.L. Tait]
(There are probably more, but this was all I could think of off the top of my head.)

The Heavenly Man - Brother Yun (Chinese underground church imprisonment)
Peace Child - Don Richardson (New Guinea missionary missions to cannibals)
Til We Have Faces -C.S. Lewis (Retelling of the Eros and Psyche myth.

All really great. The first one is life-changing, third one is entertaining, and the second is a little of both.

[Creel_Lenslook]

Hm depends on what type of book your looking for.
Mystery:
Sherlock Holmes
Agatha Christie (I know that’s an author but she writes mystery books)

Fantasy:
Storybound
Inkheart
False Prince
Gate thief

Sci Fi:
Endersgame
Mortal Engines

Romance:
Jane Austin.

I personally don’t really read romance I’m not a huge fan. But Jane Austin.

Well that’s my list it’s short if you need more books let me know I have so many books I’ve read I can name off more any time

[Beckendorf_Direscope]

Did someone say

ENDER'S GAME??!!

That is a great book. Nothing else to say.

[Jayanna_Larkcrash]

@Elizabeth_Newroad

the sisters of the sword (a book similar to the story of Disney's Mulan)

the map to everywhere (still not sure what this one is about...but it's good)

escape to vendor (fantasy sort-of-ish like the narnia books)

the princess rules (fun story, easy read)

the clockwork sparrow (interesting mystery)

THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH!!! (ahem. one of my favorites)

Jack Russel dog detective (again some of my favorites, focused toward younger readers, but still good)

Pup patrol (not to be confused with paw patrol ,see previous explanation)

[Creel_Lenslook]

I did and it is an amazing book

[Micah_Wellpride]

I recommend:1. Spy School Series [Stuart Gibbs]2. FunJungle Series [Stuart Gibbs]3. Swindle Series [Gordon Korman]4. Masterminds Series [Gordon Korman]

Bruhh...... This is basically my top four, with maybe Lock and key by Ridley Pearson and the Mysterious Benedict Society.

2.Tresure hunters series (James Patterson) 3.I funny series (James Patterson)4. Hatchet series (Gary Paulsen)

Wow. These r really good. I own the treasure hunters series and LOVE I funny. I also own hatchet, Brians Winter and Brian's return.

[Logan_Brokenspark]

I think the winter is a WAY better sequel than the river. What do you think?

[Jayhawk_Greencape]

Bruhh...... This is basically my top four, with maybe Lock and key by Ridley Pearson and the Mysterious Benedict Society.

Cool! I will have to search those on the library's website!

[Dathmaul_Crinklegadget]

Mysterious Benedict Society.

So far I've read books 1 and 3, and am waiting to read book 4, cause the 2nd book isn't available for a while at our library. Also, have you read The Secret Keepers by the same author? I just started yet it looks amazing so far.

When the nerds start fangirling books written by nerdier nerds.
