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

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. |

 Hello there. Group: Member Posts: 343 Joined: Jan 2005 Member No: 78,879 |
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... |

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. |

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? |

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. |
