I just finished reading the Harry Potter series for like the 15 billionth time... I really need a new series but I can't seem to find anything good anymore... I like

Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
The Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey
MARS (manga... can't remember the author)
Love Hina (manga... can't remember the author)
Ai Yori Aoshi (manga... can't remember the author)
Ella Enchanted (it was my favorite book in elementry school and also a good movie)
Daughters of the Moon series by Lynne Ewing
Sweep series by Cate Tiernan
Young Wizards series by Diane Duane

Anything that involves magic, magick, dragons, faeries, wizards... I like fantasy...

Could somebody please suggest something new?

Daughters Of the Moon series

I listed that as something I've already read... I'm looking for something NEW!!!

Ooh!

The Cirque Du Freak series by Darren Shan.
<3333333333

SWEEP series - About some wiccans & magick.

Harry Potter, of course.

Charlie Bone. So what if it's just like Harry Potter.

Abarat. <<<Best darn series ever.

A Series of Unfortunate Events. WAAAAY better than the movie.

And er...I don't have anymore series, just regular old books.

Yes yes, I suck. I also want to eat your face. Now leave me alone.

Oh, and also um.. the Blair Witch Files series. It's kind of stupid, but it's sort of supernaturalish, I suppose.

The Old Kingdom trilogy by Garth Nix (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen)

the Wheel of Time series was good fantasy, and you can't forget lord of the rings! i loved the dragonriders of pern books, too
LoL i am a true nerd

This book isn't part of a series but I would recommend it to you because it's really good.

It's called The Secret of Platform 13. I don't remember the author though.

The manga series MARS is great, isn't it. My sister has all the books in the series and I have one volume of Ai Yori Aoshi in DVD.

dragon weather- don't know author

The wreck of the river of stars- don't know author

The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy trilogy (which has 5 books, oddly enough)- douglas adams.

I dont know if youd be into this but my 3 favorite books right now are

Blindsighted
Kisscut
A Faint Cold Fear

By Karin Slaughter. Its crime thriller i guess. 3 amazing books. Best thriller author ive read since Thomas Harris

anything by chuck palahniuk (Lullaby, Fight Club, Survivor, Choke) and books by Mith Albom are pretty good.

omg people... read the entire post before you reply. I LISTED THAT AS SOMETHING I ALREADY READ!!!

I didn't know that was a trilogy. I have Sabriel.

Eh. My bad. And geezus, calm down. It's only a mistake. Not like you're perfect either. Good job on proving that too. Don't double post. It's against the rules.

yes! Wheel of Time
Have you read Eragon by Christopher somebody-or-other? It's a new book, a best-seller..I think, i'm not sure. I've only looked through it but I've heard it's really good.

Yeah if I can think of anything else i'll edit this.

A series of unfortunate events. you'll lovee the books. the movie was so-so. but the books are phenomeonal. you gotta read em

oh..o didn't see it how about Sons of the Dark

Liek some people said before, A Series of Unfortunate Events. Haven't seen the movie but heard it was bad. You won't be disapponited with the books

The Outsiders by S.E Hinton and The Giver by someone I don't know.

The Outsiders made me cry

onegai teacher.
diff author's version of please teacher
it's really good
a two book series.
i loved it.

Alot of those books are either manga or fictional dealing with supernatural themes. So I would say check out Blue is For Nightmares by Laurie Faria Stolarz. It's a little dry during the first chapter or two, but give it a chance. Things get interesting after the 4th or 5th chapter.

Summary: It started with weird e-mails and freaky phone calls. Now someone's leaving Drea white lilies-the same death lilies that have been showing up in Stacy's dreams. Everybody thinks it's just a twisted game . . . until another girl at school is brutally murdered.

There are no witnesses. Worst of all, no one has a perfect alibi. With everyone as a potential suspect, Stacy turns to the one secret weapon she can trust-the folk magic taught to her by her grandmother. Will Stacy's magic be strong enough to expose the true killer, or will the killer make her darkest nightmares come true?

It's the first book of the series she has going... the second one's call white is for magic, which was my favorite. I'm not really into these types of books, but I loved this one. I'm currently waiting for the third one to come out. The summary's a little corny but it's a really good book.

Azarel= Never said I was perfect... I know I'm not. I just hate having to repeat myself... I only double posted because I don't know how to get more than one quote in the same reply...

TreesTurnMeOn= If it's exactly like Harry Potter I'll probably like it. I'll check it out. Thanks. (series of unfortunate) Until about a week before the movie came out the only person I knew who read the series said it was bad but now I keep hearing it's good... I tried reading arabat but it just didn't hold my interest.

winsome= what is the wheel of time series about? I loved the LOTR movies but I just couldn't get into the books the last time I tried to read them... maybe it's time to try again.

a smile is power= eragon is another one of those the just didn't hold my interest... pity to... it sounded good...

shortiiex= is that the same as daughters of the moon but with guys... or is it about the... I forget what their called... the bad teenager guys...

1--girl= I was forced to read S.E. Hinton in middle school and since then I've lost my taste for him/ her/whatever... plus it's not fantasy

ahhishkaren= i'll try it...

Does anybody know if the Da Vinci Code was any good? I've ben trying to check it out but at my library there's a hold list on every copy and the next town over the only one available was in Spanish and I don't know Spanish that well...

Click the + link on the top right of the post.

Check out Angels&Demons before reading the Da Vinci Code. Sequel, thus far. ;x

WICKED by Gregory Maguire. (:

It's about the Wicked Witch of the West and the Good Witch Glinda from 'Wizard of Oz' before Dorothy and Toto came along. The book inspired the Broadway Musical, which I really want to see.

Alice 19th by Yu Watase(manga)
The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice
that should keep you busy for quite a long time...

There was so many topics about this lol...


A lot of people thought Da Vinci Code was a really good book. Wait I also heard that there will be a movie on that. Is that true? Hm

Heh I don't really read books these days. Just magazines and comic books heh............................. not because I hate books. Of course I love them... there's just nothing fun to read about

Roald Dahl books, Middlesex, She's Come Undone, Memoirs of a Geisha, Eating Chinese Food Naked, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Catcher in the Rye, And Then There Were None, Confessions of a Shopaholic

One of my friends just started reading that and she said it was really good... I'm going to see if she'll let me borrow it after she's done reading it.

ah yes much agreed
LORD OF THE RINGS!!!! and Anita Vampire Hunter Series <-- those books are so addicting. theres 12 so far and they are all WONDERFUL and keep you hooked.[

Hmm... if you like those books, you HAVE to try and read Anne Bishop books!

She wrote The black jewels trilogy, and some of her new books just came out.
Ceres-Yu Watase
The second Alice in Wonderland book. I forgot what it was called. o.O

Series I like a lot:
Daughters of the Moon by Lynne Ewing
The Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey
The Claidi Journals by Tanith Lee
Trickster's Choice & Trickster's Queen by Tamora Pierce
Circle of Magic by Tamora Pierce
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Sweep by Cate Tiernan
Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
Witches Night Out by Silver Raven Wolf (her "non-fiction" is crap but this wasn't bad)
Everworld by K.A. Applegate
Young Wizards by Diane Duane
Eragon by Christopher Paolini


All of that is sci-fi/fantasy/faerie tales type stuff. That's what I really like to read. I'm not into thrillers or horror.
But I need something new... I'm going to the library Sunday and I've got a couple books to look at and see if it sparks my interest but I'd like some more suggestions. Does anyboy know any good fantasy series?

Protector of the Small series by tamora pierce.
Faerie Wars (i forgot the author sorry)
Mystic Rose(that is sorta boring though)
The Arcanum by Thomas Wheeler
Tithe by Holly Black

i have more but i think that should be enough.

I've read Tithe. It was a good book. Hopefully since we agree on that I'll like the rest of those books too. Thanks!

Love & Peace,
--Chelsea

P.S. Any more books or series would be appreciated... I read fast... Minimum of 100 pages on a school day... More on the weekends.

I like that book too, I read it ages ago and haven't found it since :( It's by Eva Ibbotson

I suggest the The Doomspell Trilogy I love those books, the first is called The Doomspell, the second The Scent Of Magic and the third The Wizards Promise. They're by Cliff Mcnish

The Doomspell

the lovely bones- alice sebold

mmmmm awesome book

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. It's the best book I've ever read.

You suck. She's my favorite author. Todd is good but he's no where near his mother.

I haven't read anything by Mercedes Lackey or Terry Goodkind. My mom has been trying to get me to read a series by Mercedes Lackey. I think it's called the Companions series or something like that...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

xXYouMeBedNowXx: I've heard that Wicked was a really good book. It's on the list of books I made of books to check out. I've read The Da Vinci Code. It was good, but not my normal type of reading. I've seen the Artemis Fowl books at the library and stuff but I haven't heard anything about them... what are they about?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IAmRad: What is it about?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New-Skin: I went to the website u gave me and read the little blurb at the top. It sounds kool.

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

Yeah, of going to sleep. THE single most boring book I've ever skimmed through, merely because it was too uninteresting to read seriously. Man if you're looking for a controversial book try 'Anarchism' by Kropotkin. Interesting stuff.

Wicked is basically a different version of the classic "The Wizard Of Oz" from the Wicked Witch Of The West's point of view. It is good, however, if you don't like having the environment stick out a lot (like LOTR) then you should probably keep away from this.

Artemis Fowl is a fourteen year old boy, criminal mastermind, and one of the smartest kids on the planet. His biggest find lately is the discovery of The People: Faries, Leprachauns, Goblins, etc. in an underground city called Haven. Throughout the series, it shows Artemis constantly confronting and dealing with his problems along side wit the "People", whether it be robbing, saving his father's life, or getting revenge. Must read.
