books Favourite book series!

The Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer.

My all-time-favorite book series is Harry Potter. I just love the world J.K. Rowling has created - I don't care much about the storyline. As a good second comes a serie called The Bartimaeus Trilogy (Jonathan Stroud). It has a mix of adventure, politics and magic - and I like the humor in it. As a good number three comes.... Hmm... Narnia ( C.S. Lewis), I'd say. And after that would come His Dark Materials (Philip Pullman).

 

There is a book series in Finland that is meant for children, but I enjoy it even now - it has an awesome storyline and not too many clichés. If you translate the name in english, it's "Father got wings in spring" ("Keväällä isä sai siivet"). It hasn't been translated to any other languages, even tho I think it'd be great.

I freakin' hate reading almost every book out there, but there are VERY few that appeal. The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is mah favorite of them all. Something about those books just appeal to me so much

The Hunger Games Series

[3005 332]

I haven't really had a book series where I ABSOLUTELY had to get the next book. For example, I haven't finished The Hunger Games because I don't feel like there's a need to. The series is so formulaic; I'm assuming Mockingjay includes the rebels winning (that'd be a bit depressing if they didn't, eh?), Peeta and Katniss finally getting together, and some deaths.

 

That being said, most series play along to the same type of scheme to the book series' respective genres.

 

Despite this, I still found Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, The Mistmantle Chronicles, and the Harry Bosch novels enjoyable. I also liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid; you don't see too many book series for adults nowadays unless they're in the crime genre.

I'm a lover of the Sweet Valley series, I also have a soft spot for Junie B. Jones!

[Talemage 47]

I've read the Inheritance cycle(by Cristopher Paolini), the Stone of Tymora(I've forgotten, it's somewhere in my bookshelf), The Bartimaeus Trilogy(Jonathan Stroud, Bartimaeus strangely reminds me of Omega-Xis from the Megaman Starforce series).

 

I have more, really. I just don't know where they are in my bookshelf. I have three bookshelves all filled with them.

Actually, you are pretty much totally right but also Prim...............dies in some stupid explosion although Katniss was already gonna be traumatized by the war in some ways

 

You would've been better off reading what is absolutely my favorite book series ever, (Gregor the Overlander:) The Underland Chronicles, which was Suzanne Collins' first book series and is way more unique in many ways.

 

For one thing, it is not a teen book, it is about an eleven-to-twelve year old, weirdly named Gregor kid who just sort of stumbles into a secret Underland with normal-sized pale humans and giant talking rats, bats, cockroaches, spiders, and other creatures. His two-year old sister tags along on increasingly deadly and dangerous Homer's Odyssey-style adventures, and they both almost die several times, and instead of it being something like, "They are orphans" or "their parents, don't know, they are always back before dinner, or they only have their adventures during the weekend, or during break from school",

 

Their whole immediate family ends up knowing and it basically turns their whole lives upside down.

 

The humans are very regal, and ride the bats like horses.

 

The writing, especially for the first book, may seem childish, and kind of starts off with a rushed excuse of an exposition, but the storylines are simple but powerful. And it a great addition to the talking-animal, also with humans genre.

 

It consists of only five books, and the series ended five years ago, probably with barely any chance of Suzanne Collins ever writing stories about that world again. But it is stellar, and emotional, and adequate on comic relief.

Harry Potter, guys. Forever a Potterhead.

Warrior Cats. Great adventure story and kid-friendly violence!

His Dark Materials. Mature YA fiction, really awesome story.

[Nestariel 4]

[Petal Breeze 4]

- Eragon

- Harry Potter

- The Hunger Games

- Percy Jackson

[Jeporauta 22]

Anything Ender's game related is great.

-Ender's -game series

-Ender's Shadow series

They are must have's as audiobooks. There are so many readers and different voices for characters that it feels like you are watching a show.

 

I really loved David Eddings when i was a teen

-The Belagriad

-The Malloreon.

An epic quest with really likeable characters. The book is lighthearted and serious at the same time. I really need to find another series with equally likeable characters and the same sense of adventure.

 

-Song of Ice and Fire.

Started reading it at the same time the show started. The storylines are well crafted and interesting. It has a great way of making all kind of characters interesting.

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

Well... I loved the R.A Salvatore stuff with Drizzt... I can't name all of it off the top of my head though, because there was a lot of different random "trilogies" with that guy in them.

And I adore the Middle Earth stuff by J.R Tolkien. I read the LOTR stuff, The Hobbit, and the Silmarillion... Believe it or not, I once was a fantasy nerd.

[Krystal 1,468]

The Cat in the Hat is good too

[RippedOffMattress 314]

The Scholastic, Amulet stories, and Diary Of A Wimpy Kid.

[Despair 114]

The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod!

[sirseansy 87]

It disturbs me greatly that the Ender series is only mentioned twice in here. It's one of the most massive, elaborate and BRILLIANT book series ever written. Orson Scott Card is a genius.

I'm also deeply saddened that only one person mentioned the Dark Tower series. Stephen King is my other favorite.
