You can only have one, no more, and no less!!

my all rime favorite book, would have to be The Dreamfighter: And Other Creation Tales

A book of mysteries and magic, well mostly creation really, it is highly recommeneded to around 7 year olds but im 16 and i still enjoy it, its a book of where the animals were made by god and tales of mythical beasts and why animals act as they do, these all still match to the present day. it is on a christian religion base as it has god and the fact that he is creating the world, im barely christian myself and i still like the book.

A Long Fatal Love Chase by Lousia May Alcott.
I LOVE this book SO much I have 3 copies! 2 hardback one paperback! And I plan on getting antoher paperback that is brand new never been read, to never read. My 3 current copies are 3 different editions. :D

I have a lil shelf I'm going to put all my copies on! I need to find some awesome bookends though. Anyone know where to find bookends?!

In the book a young girl falls in love and marries. After a year of marriage she finds out the truth about him (I won't spoil it) and leaves him. He's so obsessed with her and in love with her that he hunts her down all over Europe and she can't stay away from him for long until he finds her again!

Ha!! What is it about?

My all time favourite is subject to change, but I'll post a book that really moved me

A girl gets kidnapped by a guy and taken to the Australian outback where he asks her to love him. It's set in the form of a letter and you read about the girl's struggles with her emotions for her captor.

awww! thats sounds good, i am sure i put that as to read!! i must check! lol

First of all this book is about people are known as Uglies (Aka, what we look like normally) until they turn 16 when they have an operation to make them pretty, but not all is what it seems.
The main character is Tally and her birthday is soon, and she can't wait, but then she makes friend with a girl called Shay and then everything changes!! Its is an amazing Adventure book, and My all time Fave!!
And its going to become a Movie!! yipeee!!

We all knew that this was coming! Although, I wish I'd read the book before I'd seen the film.

I'm too lazy to put the plot into my own words, so I'll just quote the blurb:

"Tyrant, blackmailer, racketeer, murder - His influence reaches every level of American society. Meet Don Corleone, a friendly man, a just man, a reasonable man. The deadliest lord of the Cosa Nostra. The Godfather.

A modern masterpiece, The Godfather is a searing portrayal of the 1920s criminal underworld. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia."

I'm a huge fan of the movie franchise, so it's only natural that the book would be one of my favourites. I had a few to choose from, actually.

I don't think this book is Christian but it might be cute.

its not entirely christian like i said, but it has hints of the christian religion

The Vampire by Tom Holland and The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien. The Vampire has the most original plot I've ever read. The description in The Hobbit is just stunning.

Kane and Abel was a great book.

im confused with ur second part!

And that may be a good one! i may do that right now!

Yeah u did !lol :)


That topic is up now :)

I liked the Thief Lord by Funke. Haven't read the Inkheart trilogy. Though I do have the first book in France.

Goody! :)

I read a book by Cornelia Funke.... There was a dragon in it. I think it may have been Dragon Rider I'm not entirely sure though. It was huge! =)

Wow, that's a long way to go for a trip inspired by a book! My parents live about a 6 hour drive from Venice. I haven't been before but I might ask the bf if he'd be interested in considering a weekend there at some point. From what I've heard, it's not as nice now as it was a couple of hundred years ago. Constant water everywhere + millions of tourists will do that to a city.

I've always been intrigued by Paris, it makes me think of romance... I can't swim so Venice is a no-no for me.

Paris is dirty, smog-filled, not to mention run down in places. It's worth it for the museums, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower and such, and the French food, of course. When I was last there it snowed and the whole city turned white. That was nice. But generally speaking I don't consider it very romantic. :p

Dream. Shattered. I loved the Hunchback of Notre Dame (the Disney kid's version) XD Just cause you mentioned Notre Dame. =P

Notre Dame is really very pretty. As is the Sacré Coeur. Paris is nice. Worth visiting once. But it's not romantic like they make it out to be. Then again, neither is Venice. The most romantic places tend to be the ones that aren't tourist traps.

Hmm, so I'm looking for a little French/Italian village/town in the middle of nowhere? =P Lol.

Something along those lines. Swiss mountain villages are also very quaint. But then again I prefer peace and quiet to the hustle and bustle of busy cities.

Lol, right well if I ever want to go on a romantic getaway I'll Google Italy and France for villages. Xd

Yup! Most of mine were to hotels in Leeds... man, that's romantic! lol

Lol, wow you dated some men who knew how to treat a lady. =P

Well, it was the bf. :p But it was so we'd get a weekend away without actually going away. My dorm room didn't have room for an extra person so we'd get a room in Leeds. Leeds is better than the other cities around there anyway.

Fine then I'll rephrase: Wow you're dating a guy who really knows how to treat a lady. =P Fair enough though, he took you to the nicest place. He could have easily taken you to a dump.

It probabl..."

That makes sense, I read it ages so I wasn't sure of the title..

One of my favorite books ever is called Truth About Forever. It's a great book about a girl who is pushed by her grandmother to take chances on a trip they take together. I haven't read it in a long time so I cant remember all of the details, but it was definitely great! :)

Whoops that book is actually called Carpe Diem.

Truth About Forever, I think I've heard of it. Is it by Sarah Dessen?

Yeah it's my favorite one of hers! :) But that actually wasn't the book I meant to put down. haha

Lol, we all make mistakes. =) I have my favourite up here but it's changed now. I like This Lullaby by her. =D

I haven't read that one yet but I will as soon as I am done reading Wuthering Heights and Inkheart. :P

Cool, you're reading Wuthering Heights, that's one of our group reads. I'm meant to be reading it but I'm doing a really bad job. =P

Yeah I am too it's really confusing! And pretty slow:P
