Basically Books! discussion

What books should we read next month!
I will only be able to pick the ones, i own! sorry!

so my idea is Skellig by david almond i think! lol

I've read Skellig about a million times, I love that book. How about reading a classic? I have and in my to read pile.

hmm!! this is not going to well!! I need 2 books, which i own or i could easily get!! :( and it needs to be decided by next month!!

Why don't you email the group to see if more people suggest things, maybe a nice, lets be more active in the group email =D

i would suggest that the group reads 9th judgement by james patterson as it is in my tbr pile.

Well Charmaine , why don't you, seen as you are a mod! lol
It will be your first email sent to everyone!!

Bridgette, my mum loves those books =D

Okay then, I will. =D

HEHE!! yey!! lol

I'm reading Dracula at the moment and probably will be finished by the end of the month, so I vote Frankenstein!

I know i have put skellig but here is a few more, which i think is a good idea!!

* The Hunger Games
* The Edge
* Life As We Knew It

I'm reading the Hunger Games now and I'm pretty sure it was group read not long ago, I'll add a few more suggestions,

*Eragon, Eldest & Brisingr
*Noughts & Crosses
*The Chronicles of Narnia
*Sally Lockhart Quartet
*Glass Houses (Morganville Vampires)
*His Dark Materials

Hope this helps Tara =)

hmmm, hunger games has never been a group read!! only delirium, the 2 this month, uglies and shadows!

I might be thinking of another group then, I'm so forgetful lol

Like me! lol
And its ok! easy mistake!

Lol, Seriously I'm terrible. All is forgiven? YAY!

Have you seen the new discussions!!
The one about genres and dreams, and somit else i am sure about it! lol

Yes I did, it's really good to see us mods inspired to create more topics =)

so true!! though 2 of our mods, have gone walkies i think!! hmm

Yes which is a shame, I've not seen Lauren write anything for months. =( Manveer mainly roleplays though

yeah i know! lol
I wish she could start again! hmmm, i could message her on fb!

And another great book to read is

Try it, it may work.

Oooh I've not read that one

Its really good, its a bit slow to start with, but once you get passed the slow part, its amazing!! lol
I think that should deffo be in the poll!

I don't have it, it would equal a trip to Amazon.

Okay so I was thinking about how to sort out the group read, give people til next Wednesday to give suggestions and then put them all in the poll and if you can't get hold of the books for a while but I can, I could lead the book discussion, if you were up for that. =)

Yes, why don't we make sure, there is a few books i have, and a few books you have in the poll, so at least one of us can lead it! basically what you just said, but in my words! :)

Hahaha. Lol I love it, well I added some more books to the list this morning. =)

yeah, i saw them!! i think you should pick 3 to go on the poll, and i can pick 3, so on Wednesday we can discuss it!! :)

I spoke to lauren, and she said, she does't really go on goodreads, so i removed her as a mod! so now there is only 4 mods!!

Of course. =)

Well what Lauren was doing with the discussions I can do and if you want to you can maybe choose one of the other people who wanted to be mod from the list =)

Hmm, i think 4 is enough, but in the future i will keep an eye out! Lol =)

Lol, I took off the bit about Lauren being mod in the group description, I didn't want to confuse anyone =)

Oh, thanks! forgot about that!! lol

Lol, well you can't remember everything. =D

What sort of books are you wanting for nominations? I get the impression that a lot of the active people in this group are still teens,so is YA the way to go? Or are books aimed at adult readers also all good?

Any book, but we need it so either me, are char can talk about it! :) aka. one of us has to own it

well, someone can easily buy it cant we?

Sounds reasonable so long as you have some variety in the books you own. :) Anywhere I can see what books you own? Or is it just put forth a few titles and you'll say if you have them or not?

i cnt, got no money

and to your reply Rea, errrrm, you just say what you want, and we will look through and me and char will pick around 3 each or somit, and put it into a poll!

Will do. I seem to read quite obscure books, though. Whenever I compare books with other members on here, I generally only have a few in common (Harry Potter, Twilight, occasionally The Lovely Bones) so any that I have you're unlikely to have.

Your bookcase is mostly YA or also has a spattering of classics and adult books?

Because here I don't even have access to a library with English books beyond a smattering of Stephen King books. And after the train wrecks that were Breaking Dawn and Graceling (personal opinion only here, ofc) I am reluctant to invest in YA titles unless I'm sure I'll enjoy them.

I am sorry, but i can only pick which i have put down , i know its a bit rubbish, but hopefully Char can do way better! Sorry guys:

In that case I'll go with the books I've got on my shelves.

Continuing with David Almond, I'd really like to read
I loved the book as a child but my brother lost it a few years ago. Would give me the perfect excuse to buy it again.

Tim Bowler is also very good. Shadows is my favourite.

I've also got:
and a bunch that I'll save for another month.

And if you fancy a classic I've got waiting to be read. :)

Rea I'm not a tenn I just prefer YA, I'm terrible lol.

As for books I'm more flexible when it comes to buying (I cadge money off my brother), Although I know for a fact I have Kit's wilderness somewhere.

So I guess that means I can throw a more books into the equation. Also I can easily get hold of most adult crime fiction, (my mummy loves them)

I have:















(Bridgette suggested book 9 but I think it would be better to read the series in order)

(As suggested by Rea)

That's a wide variety (I think anyway lol)

hehe, if anybody wants to suggest something like a adventure book, i probably got it, i have tons XD and a lot of other books, so many i cant be bothered to list em, have fun choosing

Well if you list a few Ivon, we can see what they are. =)

ill list the major two that i have the whole series of them:

Ferno The Fire Dragon mostly for kids these ones

Gotrek & Felix: The First Omnibus (Warhammer)

Dragons of Autumn Twilight

i also have a couple others like:

Skellig

Poppy's War

Distant Echo

i have a LOT more, but hey, cant list em all XD

Hmm... I've never heard of those, except for Skellig lol It doesn't have to be a series but I thought if we do a series then the group read is sorted for however many months lol

I know what you mean, I listed the tiniest fraction of my book collection. XD

thats about the tip of a thousand story building i think of what i got XD

I've got about that many. I have them everywhere lol XD

*takes off the botteem one* TIMBER! :D
