Good books?

Question

anyone please suggest some books i can read,im a girl

Answer 1

If you look at this girl's profile, you will see that she is in 5th grade. Please suggest kid friendly titles! Good suggestions so far for adults, maybe some teens, but not for a grade schooler.

Lydia, what you read depends on your reading level, what your parents approve you to read, and what your interests are. It is hard to make suggestions. If I were in your shoes, I would visit the school or public library soon and see what is available. I bet your school library picked up some new stuff over the summer.

Personally, I LOVE children's literature. There are some really old books that are so sweet for people your age, and reading them NOW while you are still young will give you a look at the stories with a child's eyes. Believe me it is different than when you read them as a grownup. I WISH I had cared to read some of the old stuff when I was your age...because I can't go back and get that experience as a KID again. The other advantage of reading some of the classics now is that you will become friends with them and go back to read them again...and see them differently each time, as well as giving you lovely memories to share with your own kids someday.

Some of my fav stories, I think you are ready for them now:

Wind in the Willows (Frog and Toad) by Sir Geoffrey Grahame
Redwall series
Eregon
Choose Your Own Adventure
Animorphs
Babysitter's Club
Judy Blume
How to Eat Fried Worms (coming out as a movie!)
Lemony Snickett
Beverly Cleary
Willy Wonka
Treasure Island
A Wrinkle in Time
Lemony Snickett series
The Hobbit
American Girl series, these are great! I especially love the Addie books.
Little House on the Prairie
Jonathan Livingston Seagull

If you aren't ready yet, you will be soon:

Harry Potter...a word here, check with parents if they want you to read these...some parents don't like them. Plus if you get started in the series they may be way too scary for you starting with Goblet of Fire (the fourth book). Lots of people notice a real difference between the first three books and the last three...they get very dark and have a lot of touchy subjects. Again, check with your parents and see if they want you reading this stuff, and please respect their wishes about it.

Chronicles of Narnia
Lord of the Rings
Sweet Dreams and Sweet Valley High romances
To Kill a Mockingbird
Tom Sawyer
Huckleberry Fin

There are Chicken Soup for the Soul books for every age and interest, if you like that sort of thing, go for it. And there are lots of poetry books and non-fiction books about things you enjoy. Start reading biographies about people you admire?

Don't be ashamed to go back and read your Dr Seuss and other kiddie books again once in awhile. Like I said, friendships with books start when we are little. If you are feeling blue or want to have a quick escape to an old comfortable book, don't neglect these old friends from when you were younger.

I also encourage you to get a journal. They make some now that look just like a hardcover book. Journalling helps you bring new ideas to the books you read, and you get more out of them.

Cell by Stephen King
Marley and Me (can't remember the author but what an awesome, heartwarming book)

Answer 7

"The Talisman", by Stephen King and Peter Straub. It is not horror like you would think coming from those two. It's more like an updated fairy tale. It's a long book, but once you've read it you'll wish it had been longer. It's very good summer reading.

Answer 8

Try any of Janet Evanovich's books.

One for the Money, Two for the Dough, and Three to Get Deadly are a few of the titles.

Answer 9

It all depends on what you like. But if you by any chance like suspense... I strongly suggest Mark Nykanen's 'Hush'. I picked this book up on a whim at a local thrift store and it was the best book i've ever read and literally had me on the edge of my seat.

Answer 10

I hardly know where to start.
Try: Drowning Anna (by: Sue Mayfield)
Not As Crazy As I Seem (by: George Harrar)
The Secret Under My Skin (by: Janet McNaughton)
November Sky (I cannot remember the author's name.)
