Janet Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 These are mainly teenage books but at my local library club, many of the adults read the same books as me and I hope some of you will give them a go. I like to read teenage books occasionally. The Family From One End Street by Eve Garnett Born To Run by Michael Morpurgo Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman The Tales Of Beedle The Bard by J.K. Rowling Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild From the list above, I have read Northern Lights (but don't currently have the sequels) and have the others on my 'to read' pile (the Michael Morpurgo one is my daughter's). Happy reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randa23 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Just finished reading LOVE AUBREY. It was a great book about family relationships and the love and care of someones grandparents. It wasn't as soppy as it sounds!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Good luck randa . I love reading YA books ... (teenage books ... I've just found out that's what they're called). I can't recommend Jonathan Stroud highly enough, I loved, loved, loved 'The Amulet of Samarkand' and the other two books in the trilogy too.

Kylie Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 You have a great list there Rosie! I read a lot of young adult fiction as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randa23 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Onto the second book this morning. The second book in the Hunger Games trilogy. The first book has just been nominated to win the Red House Book Award for 10 yrs +. Can't wait to dig in, the first book was a hefty read but I read it in a record 4 days! Better get reading!!

vodkafan Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 That's a big list Rosie! tried to pick out ones I knew from your list. I remember reading the Family From One End Street I think back when I was at school (a very long time ago). My middle daughter is an insatiable reader and she loves Micheal Morpugo. Reading is the key to everything. Well done and good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randa23 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Just finished The Hunger Games-Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. It was a great sequel with constant suspense which meant i couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the final book in the trilogy which is coming out later this year. I give it 5 out of 5.
