I know I should try Stargirl because it is by Jerry Spinelli who wrote Maniac Magee and Wringer.<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestions I'll have to try them out.<br /><br />Me too!

They are really worth getting into. They are like Hunger Games if you need that extra push (;Adriana @ BooksOnHerMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564998651703349031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432006617270233265.post-81504894901701498462012-08-15T14:40:50.618-04:002012-08-15T14:40:50.618-04:00I've read a couple of books by Robert Cormier ...I've read a couple of books by Robert Cormier and loved them all. You know that The Chocolate War has a sequel, right?<br />I Am The Cheese, After The First Death, and We All Fall Down are other great books by him. He's the type of author who shows no fear to do what he has to do to make you shocked in the end.Adriana @ BooksOnHerMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564998651703349031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432006617270233265.post-22015638289127859042012-08-15T14:37:03.134-04:002012-08-15T14:37:03.134-04:00Isn't The Book Thief just the greatest?
Once ...Isn't The Book Thief just the greatest? <br />Once you read a John Green book you'll never go back even though I've only read one I fell that that is true.<br />Ha! Someone who agrees with me about LOTR and The Hobbit.<br />Interesting about The Catcher in the Rye. Maybe it's too much of a teenage book?<br />So excited for the new cast updates for Catching Fire. Can't wait for Finnick.<br />Thanks so much (:Adriana @ BooksOnHerMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564998651703349031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432006617270233265.post-58781881628471459002012-08-15T13:15:28.332-04:002012-08-15T13:15:28.332-04:00I loved that you gave some ideas of what should be...I loved that you gave some ideas of what should be on there! Awesome ideas.<br /><br />Sorry I went a bit overboard with my comments today- but there was just so much to comment on within this post that I couldn't help myself.<br /><br />I hadn't seen the list until I read this post- so thanks so much for sharing. :)Stephanie@The Secret DMS Files of Fairday Morrowhttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432006617270233265.post-16014058170722079102012-08-15T13:13:21.609-04:002012-08-15T13:13:21.609-04:00I can see why Twilight is on the list and I did en...I can see why Twilight is on the list and I did enjoy them. My brother loves Dune- but I have never given it a try. Stargirl you might like better if you read in in English- it is pretty good. <br /><br />I have read almost all of the books on the What Are You Doing Here list. lol. If you liked The Chocolate War I think you might like A Separate Peace. Flowers for Algernon is actually a very fascinating book- not for kids. It is sad and it makes you think.<br /><br />Glad I have heard of all the top authors! :)Stephanie@The Secret DMS Files of Fairday Morrowhttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432006617270233265.post-2617703809646559852012-08-15T13:08:36.167-04:002012-08-15T13:08:36.167-04:00I have read LOTF- but that is it for the Dystopian...I have read LOTF- but that is it for the Dystopian. Most of the others are on my TBR list. I especially want to read Maze Runner. <br /><br />Tough Issues and Dark Reads- all on my TBR list- except Speak which I read a while ago. Glad to hear that you like so many of them! That says a lot because I always enjoy your reviews. <br /><br />Stephanie@The Secret DMS Files of Fairday Morrowhttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432006617270233265.post-58336829381913614422012-08-15T13:04:13.474-04:002012-08-15T13:04:13.474-04:00I haven't read any of the books that are becom...I haven't read any of the books that are becoming movies- but I need to read the Matched series (been on my list) and Before I Fall (also on list). Glad to hear you liked Before I Fall so much!<br /><br />I read The Giver- but not Gathering Blue. I only recently realized it was a trilogy. I have the other books, but haven't started them yet. I read The Chocolate War twice and liked it both times. I have also read other books by this author. :)<br />Stephanie@The Secret DMS Files of Fairday Morrowhttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432006617270233265.post-84652422280553273592012-08-15T12:59:40.010-04:002012-08-15T12:59:40.010-04:00Love this post!

I haven't read anything by John Green yet- but he is on my list. I agree with you about LOTR and The Hobbit- I had to read both in high school and didn't love them. Farenheit 451 I also had to read in HS and liked it- it was a good read. Catcher in the Rye I liked in HS- but I reread it as an adult and I didn't like it so much. Yes to Catching Fire and HP (of course). Oh- and I liked To Kill a Mockingbird but I haven't read it in a long time. I have been meaning to reread it.<br /><br />I loved hearing what you had to say about the top 10!Stephanie@The Secret DMS Files of Fairday Morrowhttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
