cool sounds good I am currently reading Beautiful Creatures, Warm Bodies and Catching Fire and reading the graphic novel Twilight volume 1 again before I start volume 2 because I love the Twilight series and the films.

I have read the twilight books...honestly I am not really sure why because although I kind of liked them at the same time I thought they were a bit rubbish lol and I think the films are bad tbh,haven't even bothered watching the last two.I quite enjoyed reading her other book The host but I havent seen the film yet.Warm bodies seems good but the beginning is very different from the film (I enjoyed the film, it surpassed expectation) and I havent seen or read beautiful creatures or catching fire (not sure if its a film also).I used to enjoy reading manga books aswell (would love to read them again aswell) and I have the crow graphic novel which is great but I haven't really read it i've just admired the artwork lol

oh nice and fair enough that's you option, I love them though, yes catching fire is a film it is coming out in November, have not seen Warm Bodies film yet because I have not finished the book yet and I cant seen the film until I finish the book, The Host film looks ok don't know if the book and the film is for me though.

The hunger Games trilogy omg...I've read it 7 times so far...and was kinda the top member on the world fan site for 5 months. Not that I'm obsessed of anything...but there is NOTHING I don't know about those books.
But I also love all Nicholas Sparks books, mainly the Lucky One and Safe Haven. Also Lucas by Kevin Brooks is amazing...I'm a bit of a book worm to be honest. I love dissociating by reading for hours, to try and forget my obsessions.

Oh geez what dont I read? Reading for me is so much more a compulsion than a hobby. I have a ridiculous library (counted in spring at 1173 and Ive bought tons more since then) I try to read whatever my students are. Its amazing how much more work a kid will do after you sit down and discuss a book theyre reading with them. I adore the hunger games. Really never got hooked on twilight or harry potter (I know im odd) but I love anything by John Green like looking for alaska or the fault in our stars. My students are forcing me to read the series of unfortunate events whoch is cute. If you like clean good reads that make you think check out THe amazing benedict society. Now thats just my young adult side
My adult side always has Neil Gaiman close to me along with Hunter S. Thompson. Im rereading American Gods right now. I love the emotional plots of Johm Gardner novels too. I just read Sharp Objects by Gillyan Flyn DO NOT READ THAT IF YOURE A CUTTER. major triggers in there. Like Im not a cutter but it got intense for me at points. Hmm Ive also just finished a bio on Woodrow Wilson as I teach social studies.
I just realized how long this post is so Ill stop but if anybody is ever looking for book recommendations let me know. My super power is being able to find at least one bolm for even the most reluctant reader to enjoy.

I'm a self-confessed book worm too and i love reading biographies, twilight saga, harry potter...etc... At the moment i'm reading "the children of the sun (The II am triology)" by Christopher Buecheler, i recommend it (especially to those who love twilight). For my next read though, i plan to read "John McDermott: It's not all black and white", which is about the former Grimsby Town player (yes i support THAT team!!! Lol).

I absolutely love reading. Right I'm reading (albeit slowly) Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. I loved The Time Travelers Wife and I thought I'd try this book (they're completely different types of book) and it's good so far but not as good as The Time Travelers Wife.

Ami it's kind of a funny story is a great film, didn't realise it came from a book, shall have to look it up! I've read a few nick sparks, the last song is probably my favourite Toni-Louise I adored jacqueline wilson, used to buy like every one of hers, can you believe she's still going just as strong? You just reminded me of animal ark too, I used to love them Casey lucas is good, I'm sure kevin brooks came to our school for world book day one year, don't think i'd read it yet though, would've appreciated more! leroynuma I really like the Abhorsen books too, but not many people seem to have heard of them! martinlom I LOVE the time travler's wife, my mam tried to get me to read it for years then once I finally did i was hooked! what's her fearful symmetry about? I love His Dark Materials, Phillip Pullman, who's read them? (someone must have!) the golden compass film was such a let down though, really atrocious coming from such good writing! Geeky, but I am reading Sherlock Holmes: A study in scarlet atm! Saw the book for £1 and I LOVE Steven Moffat's Sherlock so I figured I should go back to the original!

I love his dark materials! I agree the movie was such a disappointment. I liked the amber spyglass the best although I threw it out a window when I first read it. (I get overly entwined with my books so if it doesnt go how I think it should I get mad) have you read the three small companion books he wrote to go with them? I only have Lyras London and a Trip to the North

Yeah I don't like the first one as much, when I re-read I just start again with the 2nd, it's not the same when Will isn't in it! Haha, well I didn't actually get to the stage of throwing it out the window, it's more likely that I cried I've read both of those I think, what's the third?
