I recently started reading since i was bored one day. Now I'm obsessed with reading. I find that i enjoy it alot but im inexperienced with books. I don't really know of anything good.

So far ive read 2 book series, the Uglies series by Scott westerfelled, and twilight series by my Stephanie Meyer. I really loved both of those books.

Based on what i have read so far can you recommend me something?

  5. Roots: The Saga of an American Family is a novel written by Alex Haley and first published in 1976. It was adapted into a hugely popular, 12-hour television miniseries, also called Roots, in 1977, and a 14-hour sequel, Roots: The Next Generations, in 1979.

    The best-selling novel is about his African ancestors, Roots followed several generations in the lives of a slave family. The saga began with Kunta Kinte (LeVar Burton), a West African youth captured by slave raiders and shipped to America in the 1700s. Kunta received brutal treatment from his white masters and rebelled continually. An older Kunta (John Amos) married and his descendants carried the story after his death. Daughter Kizzy (Leslie Uggams) was raped by her master and bore a son, later named Chicken George (Ben Vereen). In the final episode, Kunta Kinte's great-grandson Tom (Georg Stanford Brown) joined the Union Army and gained emancipation. Over the course of the saga, viewers saw brutal whippings and many agonizing moments, rapes, the forced separations of families, slave auctions. Through it all, however, Roots depicted its slave characters as well-rounded human beings, not merely as victims or symbols of oppression.

    Brought up on the stories of his elderly female relatives -- including his Grandmother Cynthia, who was emancipated from slavery with her family in 1865 -- Alex Haley purported to have traced his family history back to "the African", Kunta Kinte, captured by slave traders in 1767. For generations, each of Kunta's enslaved descendants passed down an oral history of Kunta's experiences as a free man in Gambia, along with the African words he taught them. Haley researched African village customs, slave-trading and the history of Blacks in America -- including a visit to the griot (oral historian) of his ancestor's African village -- to produce this colorful rendering of his family's history from the mid-eighteenth century through the mid-twentieth century which led him back to his heartland, Africa.


  6. oooo I loved both these series they are very goood!

    try the host by meyers its soon to become a series

    and the vampire diaries is good

    The Extras by Westerfelled you might want to check out

    I didnt like it as much as the Uglies series though

  7. the harry potter series by j.k. rowling, the alchemist by paulo coelho, to kill a mockingbird by harper lee, the black stallion by walter farley and johnny tremain by esther forbes. you might also like victoria holt. she also writes as jean plaidy and phillipa carr. r. l. stein is also popular with a lot of young people. go to your local library and get a reference liberian to help you. i read a lot. good luck and happy reading.

  8. I read the twilight series too!XD

    There's another series i read about vampires called Cirque du freak. It's not like the twilight series but i still loved it and me and some friends were obsessed with it for a period of time :)

    It's by Darren Shan

  9. The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia Wrede. The series consists of four novels:

    1. Dealing with Dragons

    2. Searching for Dragons

    3. Calling on Dragons

    4. Talking with Dragons

    The books are fantasy, with good adventure and plenty of humor. I read the series again about every two years. I know it's a good series for young people because I was student teaching in an 8th grade class when I discovered it. Some of the students recommended it. But so far all the adults I have recommended it to have also enjoyed the novels.
