Suggestions for July.

[Scellanis]

Well we want to have this decided by the middle of May so we have time to get the book and read it so what do you want to read?

I have a suggestion, I'm reading it right now...I bought it because it was a signed copy and had a pretty sparkly dragon on the cover but its actually very good.

Endymion Spring by Mathew Skelton.

Its all about a book with no words that feeds on children. It switches from modern day offord where the book has chosen a boy called Blake to show its wisdom to and the 1400s when the book is made. I'm only halfway through it right now but its very good.

Nobody want to suggest a book?

[Phinea Rogue]

I don't know... "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood? It's a very dark book though.

[Scarlet Lioness]

Eragon- Christopher Paolini???

It's good, One of my personal favourites, I think a few of us have read it...

[Scellanis]

oooo...I've been wanting that book for soooo long!

Its the dragon on the front cover you see...

[Phinea Rogue]

Eragon - is it that book written by a very young author?

[Scellanis]

no idea, I'm thinking I may go with Endymion Spring for July and then do Eragon the next time I get to mod a book...

[Scarlet Lioness]

YUP!!!! Go the Dragons!!!! I love that book, it's like on e of my favourites!!! and it's sequal Eldest...and there's one on its way...

And yes, he was 15 when he started writing it...wow...that's like me, in *counts*...june, july....august, september....OCTOBER!!!! exactly 5 months!!!

[Scellanis]

so Eragon is the sequel, maybe we ought to read Eldest then not Eragon...I know I'd rather start with the first in the series....

Still think I may go with Endymion Spring for this month though, its really good, I'm over half way through it now and its also about dragons.

[Scarlet Lioness]

I meant it goes Eragon then Eldest...an dthen a third one which isn't out yet!!!

[Scellanis]

ok

Hmm...given that I haven't managed to get hold of Eragon yet and I haven't started reading Inkheart yet either I think I shall choose....

Endymion Spring by Mathew Skelton for July.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... 53-2019951

Synopsis:

"In the dead of night, a cloaked figure drags a heavy box through snow-covered streets. The chest, covered in images of mythical beasts, can only be opened when the fangs of its serpent's-head clasp taste blood.
Centuries later, in an Oxford library, a boy touches a strange book and feels something pierce his finger. The volume is blank, wordless, but its paper has fine veins running through it and seems to quiver, as if it's alive. Words begin to appear on the page - words no one but the boy can see."

And don;t forget...the book cover is a shiny dragon!!!

[Scarlet Lioness]

OOO! Sounds good...now I have to find it...

[Hagrid's girl]

I read a book called the Calafornia Club which was really good. It's about best friends getting to know one another better.

[Scarlet Lioness]

Looking for Alibrandi may be a good book to discuss...

But after Endymion Spring, weren't we going to discuss Eragon??? or...yeah, I still haven't managed to find Endymion Spring...

[Hagger 9003]

a book for the future that i would recommend would be any of the garth nix books: either the sabriel/lirael/abhorsen series or the keys to the kingdom series. they both are incredibly inventive: the abhorsen series is slightly more realistic, while the keys series is a bit crazy at times, but still fun!

i agree with lioness about eragorn or eldest: both are very good books... mayb it would be better to start with eragorn, as it is the first in the series...
