not good at finding new books myself, and the books i have found so far, i've finished off..



I'm interested in Action/Adventure/fantasy books mainly, but am open to any good suggestions too look into.

Examples of series i've enjoyed prior:
The Hunger Games series
Leviathan Series
Eragon Series(Although Inheritance nearly ruined the whole series for me..)
Ranger's Aprentice Series
Pendragon Series


A few others i can't remember off the top of my head.

I'd love a short description if possible, don't worry about it if you can't think of anything :)


Thanks for any suggestions you can think of ^_^

Hmmm... That does sound interesting, i'll look into those :)

Inheritance: It left more questions than it answered.. You learn very little from the book, Saphira's entire role gets destroyed. Murtagh falls in love. Ga;batorix dies. Eragon leaves.

That's basically all that happened in the entire book.. no loose ends were wrapped up except for his fortune.. which was poorly resolved..

i suggest very strongly that you look into Halo: cryptum. it is an amazing book from the halo series and there isnt much action involved concidering its "halo" but it is still an incredible book. Also, on the 15th of january the second volume of the book will be released and it is called Halo: Pandorum. Which i am pretty excited for. i garuntee if you like the halo series or even just like a good sci fi joy ride this is the book for you.

Might be a little typical... but I highly recommend you look into Tolkien's mythology; the Arda Legendarium. You probably know it better as The Lord of the Rings. That is, if you like High-fantasy. I warn you, however, LoTR is a complex book, and the Silmarillion is far, far worse. All great though.

The Hobbit, the Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Children of Hurin... all fantastic books, in every sense of the word. And yes, I am a Tolkien fanatic.

Oh and, A Song of Ice and Fire by George Martin is good as well.
