Books for 2008 - recommendations etc.

JakieMC

Seeing as there's no Books forum, I'll just post this here!!!

Similar to the film one, post books you've read recently and recommend, or books you want to read.

I'm currently (still) reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

On my list to read are: Richard Hammond's autobiography, new Gossip Girl books, a Malorie Blackman one I've forgotten the name of and The Plot Against America by Phillip Roth.

Deathly Hollows is soo awsome!

Still Goblet of Fire is my alltime favourite!

I mostly read fantasy and books I think ya'll need to read are The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings. Awsomeness!

Soon I'm gonna start reading the Wheel Of Time series as that has been said to be very good.

ATM I'm still reading Eclipse. The Twilight series is good if you like fantasy and romance, but I think there's just a little much clisjé in these books sometimes..

My Dad has read The Wheel of Time books - he really liked them. Have you read Terry Pratchett books? They're good because they're fantasy but funny too lol.

I think I Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire best

I loved Deathly Hallows and that's probably my favourite.

I'm currently trying to read The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Greggory (stupid Great Gatsby) and I love it! I would definately recommend it. It's about Mary Boleyn and Henry VII so it might not be too interesting if you're not interested in History but it is really good.

Just finished Richard Hammond's autobiography On The Edge - it's really good. Probably only good if you know who he is though :p But it was really interesting to read how he recovered from the jet car crash and then hear it from his wife's point of view and read his emotions and recovery process. Almost made me cry too!

Think I'll move on to a Gossip Girl one now because my other books are at Uni, probably the one where you find out what happened between Serena and Nate that summer...
