Books on my “wish” list–wish there was more time to read!
One of the library aides did her display on Books in a Series and it got me thinking about some of my favorites and some I am waiting to be published.
Like a whole lot of people I am wondering when the last Harry Potter book will come out. However, in the meantime, I keep thinking that I want to check out some new series. First, the Charlie Bone books sound like they are “Harry similar.” The series title is Children of the Red King.
Next is the “Pure Dead” series by Debi Gliori. The covers look like the Addams family. Another set is by Charles Ogden whose characters Edgar and Ellen are “sinister twins.” The first book is Rare Beasts and has two holds on it so it must be good!
Another book I am waiting for is Christopher Paolini’s final book in the Inheritance series. With Eragon the movie coming soon, both Eragon and Eldest are never on the shelf. I have read these two and have great expectations for the final installment. I also wonder about the color of the dragon on the cover. Surely there will be another dragon…
Speaking of dragons I also need to read the books by Chris D’Lacey that start with the Fire Within. The main character is a writer researching dragons.
And, speaking of writers, I have read two books by John Feinstein…Last Shot and Vanishing Act. The main characters Stevie and Susan Carol are middle-schoolers with a talent for sports-writing. They have press passes to the biggest sporting events and are getting awfully good at solving mysteries.
One last series that I am curious about is the Chet Gecko mysteries. I have them here because I heard that they were quick reads, funny, and besides who wouldn’t want to read about a gecko in a trench coat, right?
What else should I add to my wish list?
I am reading the Fire Within books and am on Icefire. If you need a copy of The Fire Within or Icefire, I have them because I accidentally bought two of each.
A classic that you may want to add, that have not seen in this library, would be “My Dog Skip”. This book is about a dog that meets a boy and the great adventures they have together, that’s all I’m going to say! This book is an original, I tell you! I would reccomend it to any stranger I would happen to come by! Please add it to your wish list!
Another great book is “Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie” by David Lubar. It tells of a freshman and his new highschool experiences such as– Losing friends, meeting new people, dealing with a TON of homework, and all while his family is having problems! You have to read the book to find out what happens and how it all ends.
that was cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
