Have any of you read that series by Anthony Horowitz that is really scary, i can just remember that 3 of them are called Scared, The Night Bus and The Phone Goes Dead. The books are really good!!!!!

i started on the shopoholic sries, but the middles too boring.
has anyone tried th HIVE books? just like AR, cept for kids and they have an acadamy and stuff.
stands for higher institue of vilianous education. really cool!
and then ther's" the social experiments of dorie dilts" duo. for girls only, though.
and....oh, out of our reading level( too low) but heart warming. Millicent Min girl genius trio.
and Dont forget the percy jackson series! the greatest!
then ther's pig scrolls, and its sequel, i forget the name.
but the time travelers wife is THE BEST!

ooh  just to say Rebecca is a amazing book
its kinda gothic aparantly but it still is amazing
admitted the starting 2/3 chapters might be boring but it is a must read
kinda a murder and romance mixed
well more of a murder mystry than a murder
And I dont really think that you find out the main characters name though
heres a review
Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. . . With these words the reader is ushered into an isolated gray stone manse on the windswept Cornish coast, as the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter recalls the chilling events that transpired as she began her new life as the young bride of a husband she barely knew. For in every corner of every room in the immense, foreboding estate were phantoms of a time dead but not forgotten -- a past devotedly preserved by the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers: a suite immaculate and untouched, clothing laid out and ready to be worn, but not by any of the great house's current occupants. And with an eerie presentiment of evil tightening her heart, the second Mrs. de Winter walked in the shadow of her mysterious predecessor, determined to uncover the darkest secrets and shattering truths about Maxim's first wife -- the late and hauntingly beautiful Rebecca.

Has anyone heard of a book called "The Black Tattoo"? Apparently it's very good. I wasn't very impressed with it.

[MadCatta]

Me either. I tried it, but it failed to get me into it....

You poor little thing! you are deprived of Pendragon, Darren Shan and Artemis Fowl. If there is one rule to being a bookworm you NEED to have read Artemis Fowl. Its not that they are AMAZING, but they are very good, and dont forget Pendragon and Darren Shan... get them on your list this moment!

Also, you should give Tomorrow when the war began by John Marsden a go...they are good books...

There is also Matthew Reilly, I am obsessed in him...

[Tai]

thanks for the info i think i have located a copy of tommorrow when the war began and that seems like an interesting read i will check it out in the future I AM STILL OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS really i think reading is a thirst that will never be quenched, an everlasting thirst for the next chapter the next sequel the next plot twist is something that spans the age and will never stop.

[MadCatta]

Ok, Arty Fowl is funny (and the graphic novel is GREAT) but the books aren't THAT good... I mean, sure, you do HAVE to read them (I only read them like, 2 years ago) but yeah... Just a good sense of humour really xD

Ooh, Bartimaeus Trilogy - Jonathan Stroud. My favourite series... nearly. So. Very. FUNNY! yeah, fantasy, set in Alt. universe London. Full of magicians, demons - sorry, spirits, violence, hilarious footnotes...

ooh, and have you read the Power of 5, Horowitz? Main reason I joined the board, really great. Awesome.

[Tai]

yeah, i have read the power of five they were good, there are tons more that i have read but blanked when i wrote list thanks KEEP THE SUGGESTIONS COMING you guys r helping

[Pedro-ologist]

looks at bookshelf...Young Bond, they are not that great but you could give silver fin a try....Proper James Bond books, incredebly well written...HitchHikers guide to the galaxy trilogy, by douglas adams, hilarious, although the 6th one written by eoin Colfer I have not read, it costs $40!...The new heroes series by Michael Carrol, BRILLIANT...All the AH books...Boy Soldier (series) by Andy McNab and Robert Rigby...DO NOT READ ERAGON!!!...Terry Pratchett; truckers, diggers and Wings...And the Secrets of the Imortal Nicholas Flemel by Michael Scott...
