boadicea Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Like i said I love to read so I guess I'll be a daily contributor in this room. Recently i've been plugging The Pilo Circus Family and By Blood We Live I had just finished reading Slights by Kaaron Warren I just finished my review also: I liked this book even if it was very depressing and very disturbing. If you are not into psychological novels with hard core twisted characters I'd suggest you sway away from this read The other two previous ones are more on the scary side but still the first one is slightly paralyzing But I like it's originality and I love a book that keeps it's pace in front of me at all times - I hate it when I lay down a book and say I could have written a better ending to that. The thrill for me is the author expanding before me. It turns out fresh and original and sometimes extra crispy too I hope you'd like the books I recommend Quote Link to comment

Mango Man Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 For sports fanatics, try PITCH INVASION by Barbara Smits...its the story of Adidas and Puma and the rivalry between them (Adidas was founded by 2 brothers who fought, and one left to start Puma). For environmentalists, Bjorn Lomborg's COOL IT is a good read on what to do re global warming. Quote Link to comment

Igniz Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) from the author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, here's Rick Riordan's new book -The Red Pyramid (The Kane Chronicles, Book 1) http://i42.tinypic.com/1y7cbq.jpg Since their mother’s death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane. One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives. Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them--Set--has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe--a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family, and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.About the Author Edited May 12, 2010 by Igniz Quote Link to comment
