I couldn't have said it better myself! I love how you can escape into the world of the characters and 'live' as someone else for a few hours. I try and explain to my boyfriend what it's like and he just looks at me like I've lost the plot. I'm glad someone else understands

Haha, that's so true! I'm on limited funds anyway yet I still manage to spend so much on books, I find a way

I've read the Harry Potter series numerous amount of times. And Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman, I think I've read that at least ten times!

I don't tend to have much of a problem. I did it today! I finished Man and Wife by Tony Parsons and went and picked up An offer you can't refuse literally the second I finished it. Although, saying that. I do find it hard to get into the next book if the previous book was amazing and unforgettable. Like Twilight or Noughts and Crosses. I find it hard to focus on the new book otherwise!

Argh, I feel like the odd one out. Literally, the only place I buy books are from places like Waterstones or WHSmiths. I actually don't think I've ever bought a book second hand. Hence the reason I think I've spent at least a grand in Waterstones the past year . And I'm a student! I don't know how I afford it!

Thanks for the recommendation!

Hey Thanks for that. That's really weird you just mentioned Inkheart as I saw that advertised on the side of a bus for the first time today. I will definitely have a look for it. Thank again!

I'm willing to try and read anything. I've been surprised in the past by books, so I always try and give them a chance

I don't think my partner has ever even picked up a book so although I don't think he understands my obsession, he loves that I read. He knows I'm happy when I'm reading! Although, saying that, he probably enjoys the silence more than anything, ha!

I read pretty much any time of the day. I do prefer silence when I'm reading but it it's a really great book, I find it doesn't matter how much noise is around me. Unless someone interrupts me

Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. So thought provoking. It's still one of my favorites and I read it six years ago

I'm torn...I like both. I do enjoy happy endings when all your favourite characters end up with everything they wanted and everything. But...I also feel slightly cheated at some happy endings. Like the last Harry Potter book, I read the ending and immediately thought 'What?! That's ****!'. But then sad endings also depress me! Like the ending of Noughts and Crosses, I cried and cried for far too long. I think there needs to be a balance between the two..somehow!

Hello. I also read the Twilight series and loved them. I highly recommend the Noughts and Crosses series by Malorie Blackman for your daughter. They are similar in few ways to Twilight; they're young adult books and they are first and foremost a tragic love story. They are about humans though . There are four books in the series and they all involve some very serious and thought-provoking issues which are present in our current society. However, they still manage to be an exciting and very enjoyable read. I've loved them for six years!

I disagree, hehe . I am Team Edward all the way! Obviously because I am the typical fan and fell in love with him too, as you do. I also really liked Emmet as he has some really funny quotes in the series. To be honest, Jacob just irritated me! But I can see why the books would have been lacking without him. Ok, I also love Alice too! And Jasper. But not Rosalie. Ok, I'll stop now

I found out about the Twilight saga only last month, bought them all, read them in a week and fell in love. I read the blurb and was put off initially as I usually stick to books about humans as I find anything else hard to believe. But I decided to give them a chance when I heard about the hype surrounding them. I'm so glad I did. I'm a huge Twilight fan now! I would rate them 10/10

Hello everyone . This is my first post as I'm new to this forum! I wanted to join a place where I could ask a few questions and also chat with others about books. I've just recently finished the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer (I'm sure pretty much everyone has heard of it by now...) and fell completely in love with them! I discovered the Noughts and Crosses series by Malorie Blackman about five years ago and have never stopped loving them either. I would love to hear of everyone's recommendations for other sagas? There's something about a series of books that draws me in. Harry Potter is another favourite of mine. Other authors I love are: Dorothy Koomson, Jodi Picoult, Adele Parks, Melissa Hill, Nicholas Sparks and Ceceilia Ahern (amongst many, many others). I would love to find another hidden gem in the book world with a beautiful saga. I would be grateful for any replies. Sorry about the length of this post, I wasn't sure how long they're supposed to be?! Amongst all that waffle...I would just love to hear about any sagas that any of you would recommend. I'm quite open minded
