Okay,so I am looking for a good book to read,but am at loss as to what.This is a suggestions area.:DThanks!
What I like:
Animals
But not any animal stories,stories from an animal perspective.I don't really like animal rescue stories,ect.Some books that I like in this area are Redwall,Warriors,and the Silverwing books.
Adventure
I really enjoy books that involve danger,traveling long distances,and bad guys who have a reason to be evil!
Medivalish Books
Swords,arrows,hot water,etc.I really like books in a medieval war setting.
Fantasy
As long as it's not to sappy,I love fantasy books.But my favorites involve mythical creatures.(Eragon,for example)Vampires don't count!!!!
I will add more and fatten up my desciptions later,so keep an eye out!

I've gotten through quite a few series in this last year. The House of Night is good if you like to blow through the books and wait 6 months for the next one to come out. Chosen by a Horse is not one of the ones you're listed to like, but it's about a lady that used to run a rescue center and finds an abandoned and abused saddlebred horse an her foal, and it's really sad because she forms a bond with this horse, and she has to put her down. Umm...I read Dracula for my first english paper this year, and One Hundred Years of Solitude for the second. I have to say that OHYOS was a great book totally ruined because I had to do a paper on it... Here's a list of my recommendations, without all the expl... - House of Night - Chosen by a Horse - King of the Wind(One of my fave horse books) - Summer of my German Soldier(My absolute fave) - Dracula - One Hundred Years of solitude - Various books I've read in/for english sometime in my entire school career(Frankenstein, The Tempest, Fahrenheit 451, A Day No Pigs Would Die, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Black Cauldron, The Importance of Being Earnest, Romeo and Juliet, There are no Children Here) there's a bunch more that I can't think of right now, so I'll get back to you on that  |

No prob. Summer of My German Soldier read in 8th grade, and I've read it at least 50 times since then. It's really good, and if not my favorite, at least one of them. The sequel is absolutely terrible, so don't bother with it

haha, I hope you like it It's about this young American girl who helps a WWII German POW escape. THey get to know each other, teach each other things, and eventually like each other. Though it's short-lived, cuz he gets shot trying to get away. It's super sad. And When she finds out she goes berserk. Hope I didn't give too much away |
