Darkness Dragons Revenge omg I LOVE James Patterson emotion_bigheart Yah, I've read Maximum Ride. Really amazing series. I've also read His Dark Materials, a trilogy about kids with supernatural powers being tested on in a hospital (I forget the titles sweatdrop ), and the Septimus Heap series. Omg that is probably my favorite series; so full of magic and wonder. It was a great escape. If you haven't read it yet I strongly suggest you do. It's seven books (the seventh just came out) about a boy who was in the army who turns out to be the seventh son of a seventh son. And see if you can catch up on Whodoneit online or something. I promise you wont be disappointed. wink Oh my gosh, I've never actually come across someone else who has read the Maximum Ride series! You are so totally amazeballs. emotion_kirakira
Philip Pullman. Philip Pullman wrote His Dark Materials. >>; My beau's mum has the trilogy in a single anthology book.
If you're into things along those lines, you should definitely read the Alchemyst series by Michael Scott. It was featured here on Gaia ages ago when it first came out, I'm fair sure the series is finished now... And, last I heard, they were considering making a movie of it. Which I would so totally LOVE. The books kick so much butt.
And you should read the books Holly Black has written. FAE~!! cat_4laugh Tithe is the first book, though the chronology doesn't necessarily flow smoothly from one book to another, so you could probably start with any of them...
And I could list a bajillion other books and series because I have serious reading addiction. cat_sweatdrop

I've actually tried the Alchemyst series and I, shockingly, wasn't too into it. emotion_8c And another book you need to read is Grace. Grace is about a girl named Kasta who lives in a world where people have two different colored eyes and they have different abilities ranging from swimming and dancing to fighting and mind reading. Kasta's ability, however, is killing. And she is living under rule of her horrible uncle who forces her to do his dirty work.

Back in my home state, I had to switch the library I went to because I had read everything good at my first library. >>;
But up here in Ohio, pretty much every library in the state is on the same system, so I can go ANYWHERE, and order books in from ANY library in the whole state~!! cat_whee
They didn't do that back in NC, you could only get books shuttled around between school and university libraries as far as I know...
I'm surprised you didn't like the Alchemyst, I LOVE that series. I even got my beau into reading it. >w>
Well, maybe the Looking Glass Wars books by Frank Beddor? They're an absolutely lovely Alice-y kind of spin off series. I bought the last two books in the series because they were never in at my local library...
I would also recommend R.A. Salvatore's Legend of Drizzt books, but lots and lots and LOTS of people hate them with a burning passion. Me and my beau love the entire series to bits, and most of the Forgotten Realms books, but every other person I've talked to about them thinks they're horrid...
I read a lot. Obviously. >>;

But none of my teachers would let us get by with multiple choice (they called them multiple guess) tests.

I hated even getting a text book with little scribbles in it.

And writing in the book is killing me. I hate it.

Darkness Dragons Revenge Blind Blindness Darkness Dragons Revenge Blind Blindness I hate when I have something to say, BUT I CANNOT COMPETE WITH YOU TWO. You're gorgeously eccentric about what you're talking about. Kudos! So...I went to super con. It was lovely? Brandy, I thought you'd be interested in this. Scott Tepperman, the star of Ghost Hunters International, was there and made a presentation about his interest in independent, low budget horror films, fielded questions regarding his stance on certain horror movies and gave some information about the Ghost Hunters. Interesting tidbits: *Thinks Hollywood messes everything up *Visited the street where the Amityville house is...says he gets the creeps every single time *Has played roles in many of these low budget horror films, but truly is passionate and believes in what he does *Is going to star? in a new horror film called "Hospital" (or The Hospital, whatever) *Produces, on average, 200-300 hours of footage for a 20 minute episode of Ghost Hunters *Gets asked by people "Why can't you be scary every week like Ghost Adventures?! Says he knows the guys on that show, that they're nice guys but the show is crap (Agree or disagree, I'm just the messenger lol) *Will leave Ghost Hunters when his current contract expires *Actors and shows he likes/dislikes (since I have a brilliant memory) If you don't want GHI, though...then oops xD..for everyone else who watches it My friend and I also went to a comedy event called "Revenge of the Nerds" And of course, panels and commissions. Which is also what I was going to tell you. My friend is a huge MLP fan, so you may have a customer for whom I can recommend you to. I kind of agree with Spazzy -- i used to watch ghost shows, but some stuff ( not GHI specifically) was so staged it made me want to vomit. Some stuff, like the background story of the house, I know is true. Some of the footage I know is true. But stuff like when they bring in a psychic, it's questionable. The only reason I say this is because I can actually see/sense spirits and ghosts. I remember going to a bed and breakfast once because it had a corn field in the back (my brother went there for boy scouts) and I took one look and it and knew something had happened there. I actually asked the person giving us a tour if there had been any ghost sightings and she said yes, that the owner had seen a ghost before in the hallways. And I still want you to jump into conversations! -huggles- I'm terrible about watching television (Brandy and I share this in common!), and I've only seen a couple Ghost Hunter episodes. I tend to think paranormal spirits do exist, and I've thought a few nights throughout the years that they were in my house. One night, I recall, I was on the computer, and my radio was on FM setting, playing music. All of a sudden I hear a blaring "BZZZZZZZZ"...how it is on the AM setting. I checked and saw it had switched to AM. No one was around to have touched it...to move the switch from the fm to am frequency requires a bit of force. You have to physically push it across. And it doesn't just move on its own, either. I don't think any bug did it, and I didn't see one. Nothing fell on it. The only thing I could think of is if my cat dug her paw in and moved it, but she wasn't there at the time. I've gotten an eerie feeling in my room....and this house was built in 1979, so although it's not "old", it's not new either xD Thanks -huggles back- I would ask your parents if they know about anything about the previous owners. If not, do some research on your own. I wish I could think of what else could have caused it (I'm really tired right now and I can't think clearly!) XP But that is very interesting. I don't like old houses because they carry a lot of old energy. Yeah, nothing interesting about them. They were an older couple, though, selling to a younger one xD....well, whatever the case may be, this house has undergone renovations recently. Three weeks for the bathroom with Visqueen (plastic sheeting) blocking off the hallway XD...Had to unzip it to get through.

Spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors drive me batty.
But I still think it's doofy required reading, especially if you're not reading it in conjunction with learning and practicing rules of grammar and punctuation.
I mean, as it is, the way you've stated it, it is serving no REAL purpose. It seems to be just filler reading material, and would have been better off switched out with Catch-22 or The Color Purple.
Or switched out with a more suitable test prep book if, as you've stated elsewhere, it is supposedly for SAT prep.
DEAR Eats, Shoots & Leaves BOOK, *blows raspberries at* cat_razz

DEAR Eats, Shoots & Leaves BOOK, *blows raspberries at* cat_razz
That is all. We are preparing for the SAT, but the least the school could have done is given us a book that explains the functions of punctuation instead of explaining the authors life. She literally talks about how she meets with the head of some grammar society and about when she was in school how (direct quote) "On Saturday nights, while other girls were getting their necks disfigured by love bites, I was at home listening to (some program on a tape I forget it's name)." I literally want to vomit every time I pick up the book. About 100 pages in it finally began to explain functions. And we get so much work because they think we will become stupid in three months of summer vacation. We may as well be in school. Sorry. Rant over burning_eyes

Rant over burning_eyes Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you!
I went to my beau's house for a couple nights, and they have limited internet, so I never take my laptop with me, and Gaia is a pain in the a** to do on my phone since their mobile app doesn't allow access to guilds...
It still doesn't seem a good book to use for SAT prep...
And, honestly, it is of absolutely no use to the vast majority of people to read the book unless it is read in conjunction with practice of the material.
I mean, really, it is a very simple concept...
Oh! And by the by, since I vaguely remember mention of this, if you're really worried about not knowing all the material or not doing well on SAT or ACT, your local library will almost certainly have an entire section of prep books for the tests. My teensy local library keeps them in a separate section with the encyclopedias and local genealogy books for easy access/finding.
And, generally speaking, many students do lose a good bit of knowledge over summer since they're not actively using everything they've learned previously, so it's not really a bad concept to have over-summer work, but they really should invest some more time into choosing appropriate books and corresponding assignments...
It really doesn't take a genius to figure out that most students won't read the books, anyway. Especially not the ones they can Cliff's Note.

My teensy local library keeps them in a separate section with the encyclopedias and local genealogy books for easy access/finding.
And, generally speaking, many students do lose a good bit of knowledge over summer since they're not actively using everything they've learned previously, so it's not really a bad concept to have over-summer work, but they really should invest some more time into choosing appropriate books and corresponding assignments...
It really doesn't take a genius to figure out that most students won't read the books, anyway. Especially not the ones they can Cliff's Note. I know some summer work is necessary, but not to this extent razz The thing is, they make sure we don't cheat by having us write endless amounts of notes in the book. And thanks for the heads up about the SAT books at the library, I'll use them. So whats new with you?
