Books Worth Reading
I am completely...
I am completely stuck for something to read. I'm finishing The Chronicles of Narnia, and I've already got through the Time Quintet. I started Inkheart but it was a little mindless and I'm trying to make Great Expectations feel like pleasure reading and not an English assignment.
I need ideas until The Mark of Athena comes out in October.
I don't care what genre it is; just give me something to read. Please!
Thank you. :)

You like Percy Jackson? Read Starcrossed. It's like a girl Percy Jackson with a messed up family. If you don't mind romance.
Also, the books of Bayern by Shannon Hale (The Goose Girl, Enna Burning, River Secrets, and Forest Born). They're really good fantasies. The best part is they're really long so you won't have to read many books before The Mark of Athena came out.

@Melody: I just finished reading The Books of Bayern! My mom read The Goose Girl to me when I was little, but the other books were too scary :P.

@Ivy
Yeah, I get what you mean. It was a summer reading book for me, and the person running summer reading kept stressing that although the cover looked peaceful, it's bloody. It being The Goose Girl.

If you like Titanic, the books I've read are:
S.O.S. Titanic
*forgets name of cheesy book title that is mostly about seances* never mind. Something with waves in it, though.
Gordan Korman came out with a new Titanic trilogy to commemorate the 100th anniv.

@ Gollum: RE: Septimus Heap:
Reading and enjoying, the strange spellings not withstanding. Although my library is being veeeeeerrrrrrry slow with getting Syren to me.
I'm also reading The Lord of the Rings. One word: EPIC! But then, that's kind of obvious. I want to see the movies now...

Definetly. What really irked me was the increasing number of bold words in each book. They are HUGE, which is a bonus.
