Re: What readest thou?
@Jaygee: Awesome! It is so up there on my favs list!
*edit a long time later because I don't want to double-post *
So I have now read the Maze Runner series!!!! Woooo!!!1
I HIGHLY recommend it if you don't mind being freaked out and getting a lot of feels. :nod:
AND I have read the first book of Ranger's Apprentice. I LOVE IT. I CANNOT WAIT TO READ MORE.
Another series I am HIGHLY recommending!

Re: What readest thou?
I read a book Animas Book 1. It is a story where everyone in the society empathizes with an animal. For most people, this simply means feeling the emotions of whichever species is their "kin," however, some can even see what the animal is seeing. The main character is the only person in the society who can't find his "kin," leaving him to rumors and speculation of others. The antagonist forces animals to do whatever she wants and is trying to take over the society.
Even though I really liked the first book, I don't think I will read the second because one of the teachers smokes some sort of addictive substance in class instead of teaching. I was not expecting to find this in a "tween" book. Also, the plot became somewhat predictable. Another downside is that the main character sometimes skips class to try to find his kin in the woods or ask about history, although he is usually pretty moral.
Anunknownpevensie, it's good you like those books, Luthien, my sister, has read about ten of them, they must be hard to put down!
I also read The Door Within about seven years ago. I liked it a lot.

Re: What readest thou?
I read the Maze Runner and...meh.
Thomas and Theresa were boring, the plot wasn't predictable, but it wasn't clever either. Like I expected it to go one way and then it went another way and instead of being surprised I would just think "Oh. The way that I thought it was going to go would have actually been better." Now, if the book was about Newt it might have been a lot better.

Re: What readest thou?
I'm reading "Watership Down" recommended by Pev. So far, it's really good... although, I haven't gotten very far. I'm a pretty slow reader :/

Re: What readest thou?
Finished The Silm...man, that's a good book.
Also, I love how, on, like, the last four pages, Tolkien tells the same story that he took three books to tell.

Mama had a hair appointment. I went with her and had plenty of time.
