Bookaholics Anonymous

sorry guise. im really hyper right now <33

Name: Emily
Age: 16
Country: Canada
Aspirations: Become world famous author, get rich and retire early to a cottage in Muskoka or Prince Edward Island <3 lol.
Favourite Novel: Emily of New Moon. Which is ironic because I was named after that book <3
Favourite Series: SO MANY!! top 3 would have to be Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and The Chronicles of Narnia. (and if i could throw in A Series of Unfortunate Events and the Uglies series I would!!)
Favourite Author: C.S. Lewis, Suzanne Collins for a close second
Favourite Genre: Fantasy
Favourite Movie/Television Adaptation of a Novel: The first three Harry Potter movies <3
What do you look for in a book: Originality -- whether it be characters, plots, or settings!
Which book would you love to see turned into a movie/ tv show: The Hunger Games ... although I'm really hating the casting choices so far -__-
Which book is on the top of your must read list: I haven't read anything by Jane Austen...hmmm...
Which book release are you most anticipating: nothing currently.

I think I'll add a couple...
Least favourite book/series: TWILIGHT. I can write better than Stephanie Meyers (in my opinion anyways lol) BUT WHO GETS TO BE THE RICH AND FAMOUS ONE.
Least favourite adaptation of a book into a movie: for a while it was a tie between Bridge to Terebithia and the fifth Harry Potter, but now I'm going to say Voyage of the Dawn Treader without question. It made me CRY it was so badly adapted.
Least favourite book: LIFE OF PI. GARARRGHHGHARGHH THIS BOOK MAKES ME MAD. I'm not even finished, but I have to read it for English class and in my opinion, IT'S PRETTY BAD. It's so philosophical....which I guess I wouldn't mind except that I'm reading it for GRADE 10 ENGLISH. srsly. You've probably never heard of it, unless you're Canadian...

anyways...
I like to think of myself as a well-rounded reader, but honestly I'm not XD I like to stick to fantasy series/novels...I'm hoping this group will help me (: FAITH YOU ARE A FREAKING GENIUS FOR STARTING THIS. I find it so ironic that we are starting a book club in the internet....the place where people say is the reason books are going to waste XD  I HOPE I CAN KEEP UP WITH EVERYTHING. I'm a pretty average-paced reader.....I was wondering is it OK if at some points I'm not completely active?

KAYBYE.

I'm going to jump ahead and begin a discussion. I don't know if anyone has read Game of Thrones or even heard of the Ice and Fire series, but the HBO show just began yesterday and it's brilliant so far. A little raunchy at points, but if you're 18+ it's a perfectly enjoyable show. If anyone's a fan of the books, it's fabulous and I highly recommend it <3

I have a few suggestions:

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
Peony in Love by Lisa See
Crank, Glass, Tricks, and Impulse by Ellen Hopkins.

These are my main favorites, all amazing books. I hope you'll take them into consideration. <3
