Book Suggestions

[Sparrow]

Okay so I can guess that everyone's a big reader here. So I decided to make this thread so people can suggest certain authors, books or series. Cause I know I'm always looking out for new interesting books and such. So you should post a bit about the book. For example; title (s), author, if its a series, comics or novel, if you can the cover of the book/series, the general length of the book or series, and maybe a berief paragraph or so about the book/series.

My first recomandation, The Twilight Series
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Okay, most of us have probably read them but Twilight was my favorutie book series for a few months, it is a 4 book set about a vampire who falls in love with a human.
Twilight:


New Moon:


Eclipse:


Breaking Dawn:


My second recomandation, The House Of Night Series
Author: PC & Kristen Cast
I personally found these books way better then Twilight, they may be less known but they are much better. There about a girl who becomes a vampire fledgling at the Oklahoma House Of Night. She dates multiple people and has problems, its basically about Zoey battling her problems. Its a really good book with action, romance and vampires. Its a 9 book series though only 5 books are out so far.

My third recomendation, The Vampire Diaries Series
Author: L. J. Smith
I am only on one of the first few chapers but from the first sentance I knew these books were special. They are really good. I am going to type out the description from the first book, because I don't know much other then that-and that their good of course.

Description:
Elena: the golden girl, the leader, the one who could have any boy she wants.

Stefan: brooding and mysterious, he seems to be the only one who can resist Elena, even as he struggles to protect her from the horrors that haunt his past.

Damon: sexy, dangerous, and driven by and urge for revenge against Stefan, the brother who betrayed him. Determined to have Elena, he'd kill to possess her.

The tale of two vampire brothers and the beautiful girl torn between them.

So now you see what I mean. Anyway here are the covers. But they are in doubles, the first two books are as one book, and same with 3 and 4.
The Awakening and The Struggle:


The Fury and Dark Reunion:

I recommend, Maximum Ride, it's a series of four books.

Synopsis of maximum ride from www.allreaders.com/Topics/info_32880.asp
Maximum Ride is a fourteen-year-old girl with wings who is the result of some experiments at a secret lab to inject avian genes into human embroyos. Max is the oldest of the six members of her family, or as they refer to themselves, the flock. The others are Fang - a taciturn boy who is four months younger than Max; Iggy - who was blinded by experimentation on his sight at the lab; Nudge - a young girl who talks non-stop; and two kiddies, the Gasman - an eight-year-old boy with persistent intestinal problems and Angel, his six-year-old sister. Max and her companions were kept in cages and subject to repeated scientific experiments during their life at the School (as the lab was called); they were eventually freed by one of the lab scientists (who are referred to by the flock as Whitecoats) named Jeb Batchelder. Jeb secreted them at his mountain home and raised and educated them; but Jeb suddenly disappeared two years ago and the flock has been on its own since then. Suddenly, Erasers (experimental beings also developed at the lab who can morph into powerful vicious wolf-like creatures) raid the family's mountain hideaway and kidnap Angel. It's up to the flock to save her.

Those look cool. I'd recomend the Tortall Universe;

1st Series: Song of the Lioness
Author: Tamora Pierce
Summary: Alanna of Trebond (later Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau), is a ground-breaking female knight. Although noble-born girls traditionally go to the convent to learn how to be proper noblewomen and wives, Alanna desires to become a knight, a position only given to noble-born boys (although, as seen in the Provost's Dog books, there had historically been other lady knights). In order to achieve her dream, Alanna disguises herself as a boy under the name of Alan and goes to the palace in place of her twin brother Thom. As Thom has no interest in becoming a knight, and is far more interested in his magic, Thom goes to the convent in place of Alanna, to become a sorcerer. The twins' father is concerned only with his studies, and pays them little attention, which helps their masquerade. He is also very strongly against magic, as he believed that it should have saved his wife when she died in childbirth, so he is opposed to the idea of Thom becoming a sorcerer. Alanna has a few relationships thoughout the series, including Prince Jonathan, George Cooper and Liam Ironarm. The series follows Alanna's training and the early years of her knighthood, a timespan of ten years.

Second Series: The Immortals
Summary: This story is about Veralidaine (Daine) Sarrasri who was orphaned when raiders attacked her village. Daine has an unusual (and extremely strong) gift of wild magic which is mistaken as insanity because she is unable to control it . Though convinced she has no magical Gift, it is discovered that she has 'wild magic' - a magic that is not uncommon, but for some reason is a disregarded branch of magic. What is rare is the amount of it that Daine possesses, and what she is able to do with it. This magic gives her a unique connection with animals. Her abilities manifest gradually throughout the series, allowing her first to speak with animals, to heal their injuries and eventually to shape-shift into animal forms. The series covers a timespan of four years, following Daine as she learns to communicate with humans, animals and Immortals.
First Book: Wild Magic


3rd Series: Protector of the Small
Summary:This story is of Keladry of Mindelan, the first girl to follow in Alanna's footsteps -- legally and without disguise, after a law is passed allowing girls to try for knighthood. As she begins her training, Kel is constantly harassed, injured, plagued by doubters and put on probation by her training master, who thinks a girl will never succeed. Kel discovers the hazing of young pages and fights the bullies to put a stop to it. Kel makes memorable friends throughout the series, including the wry Nealan of Queenscove and Lord Raoul of Goldenlake, an old friend of Alanna's. She also meets some key enemies, including Joren of Stone Mountain, her fellow page. The series follows Kel's training and the first year of her knighthood, a timespan of nine years.
First Book: The First Test


4th Series: Daughter of the Lioness
Summary: This duology (also known as the Trickster books) is actually as long as the earlier quartets, because these books are about twice the length of the earlier works. Pierce explained that the success of the Harry Potter books finally showed publishers that young readers will read big books.

The duology is the story of Alianne (Aly) of Pirate's Swoop, the 16-year-old daughter of the legendary Alanna the Lioness. Disallowed work as a Tortallan spy by her parents, Aly leaves home only to be captured by pirates and sold into slavery in the Copper Isles. Under the guidance of Kyprioth, the god of tricksters, Aly involves herself with a conspiracy of the native raka people against their luarin conquerors, in accordance with a prophecy made by Kyprioth himself through one of his priestesses, centuries earlier. The duology covers a timespan of two years.
First Book: Trickster's Choice


5th Series: Beka Cooper
Summary: This trilogy is set in the realm of Tortall, 200 years before Alanna: The First Adventure. The first book in the series, Terrier, was released on October 24, 2006.

George Cooper is a young boy, six years of age, who is caught stealing. His ashamed mother then tells him about his famous ancestress, named Rebekah Cooper. "Beka" Cooper is a trainee for the Provost's Guard, which is Tortall's equivalent of a police force. In those days, they were called "Dogs" and trainees were known as "Puppies," both of whom were stationed at "Kennels" (this was where the term "Provost's Dog" came from).

The first book in the new trilogy, Terrier, concerns Beka's first months as a Puppy. All of Pierce's previous books were written in the third person, but this series is told from a diary-style first person perspective. Beka's entries detail how hard she works to try to make her home, the Lower City of Corus, safer.

Beka's roots in the Lower City give her both a keen insight and a sense of empathy for the people she is there to protect. Beka is referred to as a "Terrier" for her youth and dogged determination despite her size.
First Book: Terrier


I don't really like the rest of the series'. They're very confusing.
