Good Reads 4 Teens discussion

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to Good Reads for Teens!I'm Starburst. This is a group for book-loving teens (like me). If you want to discuss books, authors, and other stuff like that, then this is the group for you. If you decide to join, leave a response to this with your introduction info, and your favorite book.
Thanks!

Hey! I'm Adriana.
I love young adult preferably dystopian books, all types of movies (especially sappy ones!), televisions shows, video games, and I kind of like to draw.

My favorite book is...

OH!!! I love that book!

What!? FINALLY!!!! I've never met anyone who's even heard of it.

Yeah! It's sooo good! But did you know that the author died in october last year? Her books were so good! :'(

Yes.. She had just finished One Dog and His Boy.

I remember loving Dial-a-Ghost by her and A Company of Swans was good as well.

I liked Which Witch? and Island of the Aunts. I used to be obsessed with her books.

I've wanted to read Which Witch for a while now.
Island of the Aunts? I don't remember seeing that book before...
The Secret of Platform Thirteen is supposed to be good. I read somewhere that Harry Potter took a bunch of ideals from it. I think Ibbotson said that all books take things from others.

Here is an article that talks about it:

hm.... Interesting article.
yeah, Island of the Aunts is another great book by Eva Ibbotson... look it up.

Oh! Island of the Aunts... I remember seeing the cover before.
Wow. I should read more of her books.

What's your favorite book Starburst?

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. That's my all-time favorite. But I like a lot of books.

That's right! You put it on the other group. Sorry! I am so forgetful.
I didn't realize it was a classic.

Yes, it is. A ton of people say it's super boring, but I love it. You should definitely read it.

Sure. Why not (:
I always say how I hate classics but one of my favorite books is a classic.

Robert Cormier is pure genius! He's kind of dark sometimes and the twists in his stories. Whoa!

hm... I haven't read that one. It looks interesting, though.

You know there is a sequel to A Tree Grows in Brooklyn right?

really? what is it?

I just looked the book up and the sequel was below it.
It's called A Tree Grows in Brooklyn & Maggie-Now.

oh.... cool. I'll be sure to read that.

I wonder... when I'm no longer a teenager will I still be able to be in this group?

sure... whatever. It doesn't really matter, as long as you still read, you know, teen books.

Cool

Are we going to get to vote on books or..?

I don't know... I was kinda thinking we could have a book of the month and all discuss it or something along those lines.
Do you have any suggestions?

Hmm..
I think we could have more than one book per month because from past experience I sometimes don't like the book of the month that the group voted.

Sometimes it works out. I did end up reading a book I didn't want to and it was really good but other books I just don't want to try.

We can do challenges too..

There's an idea!

hi im new but i just want to tell u my fave books:
harry potter
percy jackson
the sisters grimm
magic in manhattan
eyes like stars and any books by gail carson levine

The Sister Grimm! I love when I see people liking the series. He needs to write the next one!!!

PJ is the best except the last book that just came out and HP is pure awesomeness.

Never heard of Magic in Manhattan. I still need to read the second Eyes Like Stars book. I only know Fairest by Levine myself but haven't read it yet. Does she do other fairy tale ones?

Oh, I love Magic in Manhattan!

What's it about?

It's about these teenage girls who live in manhattan, and they're witches. They go to witch camp and do witchy stuff and cast spells and stuff like that. It's pretty interesting.

Ahhhh! I've been wanting to read books about witches! It's destiny.

Yeah, it's a good series the first one is:

To-read!

I have this other group where there was a spell out challenge. It was sunflower or something like that. We can always try to do that... maybe the word November?

what do you mean by spell out challenge?

For each letter you need to read a book with that letter.
N- Nevermore by Kelly Creagh
O- The Orchard by Jeffrey Stepakoff
V...etc.
I guess you would add links to the books and talk about them along the way. I don't really know. I didn't participate in it because I got there too late. I'm adding the talking about it even though I don't think I saw that.

Oh, that makes sense! I'm smart...
Yeah, that's a good idea! And november is good, but I don't know if I could read that many books in one month...

Just make it a smaller word. Something to do with the month or just a random word i guess.

Turkey?
Family?
Awesome?
idk

Maybe a genre and we have to spell out the word and read that genre? Maybe that's too hard.

Well, we will figure it out somehow...

I'm guessing were waiting for more people then we'll start correct?

Well, yeah. We can't really do much with 5 people... Maybe you could help get some more? ;)

Sure.

I invited some.

yay! XD

Is Hush Hush the one about angels?

umm.... okay

Oh! lol.

What mangas do you read?
