lexiepiper Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Me too Rawr I don't understand why it's so popular though, I mean there are other very good YA fantasy books about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm completely not sure about first editions, i think my Prisoner of Azkaban is a first edition hardback, on a site it's worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexiepiper Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Yeah, I do love the series I must admit, it's a shame she'll not write more, I miss looking forward to a new release lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucybird Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 My Prisioner of Azkaban is a second edition, I'm not sure how I managed to miss the first edition to be honest, from Goblet of Fire I have all first editions but they're not exactly rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Okay my Azkaban is far from first edition unfortunately, with a little more research i know it isn't, i think it's 14th But my Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows are. Back on topic instead of my rambling, i read OotP again recently, i was apprehensive as i didn't enjoy it the first time, probably because i sped through it but re-reading i liked it a lot more.

BookBee8 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Harry Potter I realise I am really late with responding but... I don't think I have any first editions, and even if I did, my sister lost one and ruined the other. I was the same with Harry Potter though. I didn't want to enjoy it either!

BookJumper Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Definitely "Harry Potter" - I'd refused to read them right until the first came out for whatever stupid teenage reason (I probably thought they were for kiddies/too popular for the young intellectual in me to appreciate them); then I broke a foot and found myself having pretty much read every other book in the house so I had no choice. I plowed through the first three in a day and the fourth the following, dead to the world. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nollaig Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Well I'm only a little ways into it, don't get too excited just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwish Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Harry Potter for me as well. I remember I didn't want to like it because this girl I hated was a massive fan She managed to get our teacher to read it to us and I just loved it! My parents took me shopping to get the first book and because Goblet of Fire had just been released I was begging my mum for it I'm glad she put her foot down and made me get PS! Almost 9 years later and I am still a huge fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucybird Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Just realised I never actually answered this. I guess it's Twilight for me, it's so bad, but it's addictive too. I liked it but felt the whole way through that I really shouldn't be liking it because it was so badly written and half the characters annoyed me, especially Bella. I didn't like it enough to spend money on the second one though- but it is on my bookmooch list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kala_way Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 There are definitely a lot that I've been surprised by how much I liked them. I read Ender's Game for a class in college. I had never read a sci-fi book before, I'd been suppressing my inner dork up to that point I really loved it though! And it led to tons more amazing books that I'd never considered before. I don't know if there's anything that I really didn't want to like--no reason to block your own pleasure just to spite someone who doesn't care There are definitely ones that I've liked despite them not really being great books--*cough*Twilight *cough*, uh...Babysitter's Club? most of the historical fiction stuff I read as a kid. I've read some of them back and gagged ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucybird Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 The animal ark series for me was like that, they really were bad, I just didn't realise it at the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
