I like the Dragon Keeper trilogy by Carole Wilkinson.

I am reading Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynn Jones , I am enjoying it. I have started Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkenand it appeals to me. I liked Elijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul Curtis and the librarian wants me to recommend it so I suppose I will because it was good (it also has many awards) I loved Joan of Arc by Mark Twain and so did he (He said it was his best!) It also has a funny story; thay put it in a magazine and they thought it was real! It is accurate because Mark Twain loved Joan of Arc as do I and researched her very very much so that he might get the book perfect. I really liked Half World by Hiromi Goto.

Well If you're into the games of Assassin's Creed, Their's books which basically explain the game but in much better depth, and I really enjoy reading them, probably because I like the video game so much.

Don't even get me started on books.

There are a lot of books that I really love. As mentioned, the Harry Potter books are awesome. I've also loved the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman for years, though it's made me cry more than once. Other great books I've recently read are: The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffeneger; Misery & The Stand by Stephen King; Chocolat by Joanne Harris; The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold; Change of Heart & Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy (of five) by Douglas Adams.

My favourite fiction books include Nineteen Eighty-Four, His Dark Materials and Cat's Cradle.
I prefer books related to my interests though.

I liked reading The Trial of Joan of Arc, title says all, non-fiction of course. The Book Thief and The Clockwork Trio were great too, both are fiction. Joan of Arc in Her Own Words is very interesting as it is somewhat of a posthumous autobiography. In other words they take her quotes and arrange them in a way that makes sense. But as she did say these it is very accurate, non-fiction of course again. I like history book and dictonaries.

If you really enjoyed The Perks of Being a Wallflower and you want to read something similar then try 'The Catcher In The Rye' by J.D Salinger; it's an incredible book although there's the odd 'slang' word you might have to Google.

The Duppy was very funny. I am reading Annie on my Mind By Nancy Garden. I am reallly liking it so far. Wlid Orchid series is good. The main character has Asperger's. Inkheart series is good and the plot focuses on books alot. JRR Tolken's books would be good to read if you like LOTR War Horse and The Secret Garden. I took them out at the same time and loved both. The Good Earth is wonderful and my mom liked it too so it is not just I who likes it. My friend likes Tom Sawyer. The Outsiders was good. A Wrinke in Time was wonderful. All the books in each of my post are some of my favorites (well I'm not done Annie on my Mind but it seems to have been one of the books I am drawn to when I found it and already I wish it was my own instead of a library book.)

Read Prey, best book NA!

Books. Don't even get me started.

As for my favorite books, I would probably say The Giver, The Phantom Tollbooth, The Westing Game, etc...

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It's a book about a girl named Lisel, her friend Rudy, her adoptive parents, and the Jewish man they keep hidden in their basement. It takes place during World War 2 and is narrated by Death. It's beautifully written and leaves you thinking about the impact of the written word.
