I used to be the same way. One day my mom picked out a book for me that I never would have. The whole series has terrible covers. I'm glad she did because this was over 12 years ago and it's still my favorite series! Now I try to go on reviews and recommendations. Oh and the Hunger Games was really good and the second book is supposed to be even better (or so I've heard from friends that have ARC).

I'm exactly the same. I love art and am quite interested in photography so I normally only pick books with good covers. I'm also kinda prejudiced against the Hunger Games cos a girl who I can't stand in my class read them and I know its awful but I don't want to like them cos she does and I know how petty it sounds but you haven't met her.

its sounds rly good :] i think i mite get it.

thx :p

You're not stupid and you don't sound it. :) The Hunger Games is by Suzanne Collins. I wouldn't really call it fantasy though, maybe scifi (but not really that either), but it's a great read. The second book Catching Fire is coming out Sept. 1.

I started reading (or actually listening to the audiobook)the Mistborn series I meant to read it for quite a while and finally got around to it. It's on the epic fantasy level, very good so far. It does take a bit to get into the story though, but well worth the time.

I also started the Vampire Diaries. I wasn't going to because I wanted to watch the show and I knew I'd pick it apart if I read them. Oh well.

Thank you Carrie!I couldn't find it, Thanks!I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO READ MISTBORN:The Final Empire FOR A REALLY LONG TIME!Lol

im reading night world book 3 and undone. there both awsome

Um, can anyone recommend a good book longer then 700 pages? I need one for school(well it'd be easier for school) and all books I look at aren't long enough.

I will have a look for you. I have some really long books, but most are in a series. Like the one I am reading now is 763, but it book 2 of the Mistborn series.

One I have that is not part of a series is . I haven't read it yet, but it was recommended to me by a friend. He said it was a great book. There are tons of editions out there, so look at the page numbers as some are 600 and something pages. There was a new edition printed this year and it was over 700 pages I think. Mine is very old so you could probably find it in a used bookstore.

Oh another awesome book that is over 700 pages is [image error] . You have to get this edition since I think the book was broken down into different books later. I loved this book.

I actually started reading The hunger games. It was recommeded here so i picked up the book, the cover does not really show much but it was a good book i could'nt put it down so as soon as i finished i went and bought catching fire it leaves you in a cliff hanger........now i cant wait for the third one!

Ah, thank you so much! That was VERY helpful. :)

Just finished Snow Flower and the secret fan not a fantasy book but well done without being all wordy was a quick read. I did start Eyes like stars by Lisa Mantchev its a YA fantasy great for theater fans. Its a little early to tell anyone what I think of it yet I'll just keep reading and find out :P

I just finished a book that is by no means fantasy, it was called Becoming Me by Melody Carlson. I really enjoyed it. I just started Plum Lovin' by Janet Evanovich, which also isn't fantasy, lol.

Loved that book so much I had to read it 3 times!

Anyway, I'm in the middle of "One False Move" By: Alex Kava. It's too bad I haven't been able to get as far as I'd like, things have been crazy busy around my town latley.

Me too Jo! I want your book advise! Do tell

I'm reading the last part of Nightworld, Witchlight. I have enjoyed the last three more than the first six.

Depends what you like. The first six are basically love stories from a supernatural angle where as I would say the latter ones have a bit more story to them. They are all bitesize novels so easy to pick up and read. If you like romantic chick lit give them a whirl, i'd say they are chicklit with fantasy instead of humour.

I am currently reading The HOllows, The Woman in White and Dracula. Just finished Eyes Like Stars...don't really recommend it though. Katie: The Vampire Academy series is my favorite vampire series! Enjoy! The next book comes out in the spring and I can't wait!

lol the morganville series is amazing!♥ i haven't read vampire academy series yet, but i hope to!:)

Hmm...I have never read the morganville series but now I am really interested! I will have to search them out this weekend.

Thanks!

you should they are good books"

i have to find a copy of the first book though.. and finish all the books that i MUST read before they're due back at the library!

lol, i envy you. libraries shouldn't have due dates ;] it would make my life so much easier. :P

oh, that's too bad! ): lol, i could never swap books, ever. the ones i have mean too much to me to swap lol.

that's true. well, most of the time i borrow books from one of my friends, or now the library - so i rarely end up spending much money on books.

): that's not good lol

haha, yeah. well at least reading is a good pastime! so, its not soo much of a waste. still, books tend to be expensive unfortunately.

I sure felt bad swaping my copy of Eyes like stars this morning....NOT!!! Sorry just throwing that put there after hours of disappointment!

what didn't you like about Eyes Like Stars?

that'll be much better! depending on where you're shipping to lol

Eyes like stars was a mess great idea gone wrong. Had paid full price too which I rarely do read all these five star reviews were they paid to say nice stuff or what? I usually love almost every book I read!

awh, that totally sucks! i don't like reading all these great reviews for a book and then getting it and finding out that it's just bad. but everyone has their own interests and opinions of a book.

So true! Ill get over it after I get it out of my house :)

haha, hopefully :)

Katie,

You on RISI? Whats your username?

I'm reading The Princess Bride. I hope it lives up to its reputation.

I am finishing up my Wheel of Time re-read for the release of the next book on the 27th!!! I have been waiting for years for this book.

Right now im about 3/4 reading , it actually has everything from vampires, werewolves, to goblins (everything supernatural, it has my attention cuz i want to know how it ends, so its a between ok-good book

I'm reading The Deep End of Fear, am about 100 pages in! It's getting really good!!

I'm reading Dead Until Dark. Finding the long chapters hard as I mainly read at night and always seem to be finishing halfway through a chapter.

The last three posts are all good books. I think I will limit my opinions to those since I spend far to much time reading and have read several of the books posted and have lots of the others already in my reader waiting to be read. I love the Sookie series so anything there I like. Blue Moon and Intertwined are also really good. They both add a little something new from the typical books in the genre I think.

I'm currently reading

I finally have my copy of The Gathering Storm! I have been waiting 4 years for this fraking book. I will start it later today!!!

I'm reading North of Beautiful. Pretty good book so far. There's something just so sweet about it. <3

@Jo: What do you think of it so far? Which guy do you like better, for Elena and otherwise?
