    Diana Wynne Jones

    I've read the first two Chrestomanci books (and am planning on reading the rest) Howls Moving Castle, Castle in the Air, the first two of the Dalemark Quartet and Fire and Hemlock. I liked all of them, and am planning on reading more by her. Fire and Hemlock I found a bit confusing however, and...

    Neil Gaiman

    "I think I liked it, though." My feelings exactly...I think I liked it, but I'm not sure. I actually really love Neil Gaiman, and have read Coraline, Anansi Boys, Good Omens, Smoke and Mirrors, fragile Things (which came out very recently), and I'm going through the Sandman series. I like all...

    Books you'd never let your kids read....

    I'm thirteen, and I've always read pretty much what I wanted. My parents have never seen the need to ban books from me, although they do like to know what I'm reading. When I was ten/eleven, I read some of the Gossip Girl books, which I had borrowed from a friend, but they didn't have any big...

    Books with humor

    I would suggest the Xanth series by Piers Anthony, they can be funny and are well written, and the plots are always entertaining! I know that I really like his books, particularly Dragon on a Pedestal and A spell for Chameleon, which I thought were very good. Also I agree about the Belgariad. I...
