YAY!
I got a butt-load of books for Christmas<33
Most are non-fiction: Trees, Philosophy, Cats. (my favorite stuff..xDD)
But I also got an amazing Sci-Fi book called "Childhood's End". It's written in the same year as Fahrenheit 451, and I L-O-V-E that book. My uncle gave it to me and he said it's his all-time favorite, so I'm very excited. Anyone ever read it?

I asked for Sherlock Holmes and got stories from the PBS-TV series. Are these lame knock-offs of the original books, or are they actually pretty good? Written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I have not read "Childhood's End", but I may have to now. I personally loved "Fahrenheit 451". (I actually spelled Fahrenheit right first try!)

What is Beautiful Creatures about? I've hear a lot about it and hopefully you'll get your book HeartofCoal ^^

[Flightstar]

Beautiful Creatures is VERY hard to explain..... I'm not your best choice.

I read the overveiw on Amazon c:, it sounds good and I'll defiently look into it.

My parents decided that I was asking for too many books, so they just bought me a Nook and a gift card... I love it, but it's really not the same as having a real book in your hands... Whatever!

Ooh, it's good. It's really heavy on romance, but the storyline is pretty original.

Basically, this kid lives in the South, and this new girl comes to live with an old hermit in their strongly Southern town. And... I don't want to give the story away, but she's really odd and nobody likes her because she's the hermit's niece, and nobody likes the hermit.

And wow, that was a pathetic explanation. I would compare it to the Mortal Instruments series, if you've read that. I'm just going to find a summary online. That might help. This one's pretty good and doesn't reveal anything:

In a small South Carolina town, where it seems little has changed since the Civil War, sixteen-year-old Ethan is powerfully drawn to Lena, a new classmate with whom he shares a psychic connection and whose family hides a dark secret that may be revealed on her sixteenth birthday.

Haha, ya, I needed to spell-check mine. x_x
Anyway, what's you're favorite scene from F451? I love the beginning, and Montag's conversations with Clarisse and when he first emerges from the river.

Hmm I figured it was a romance book, sounds good but I'll look into it more xD

I got The Power Of Six by Pittacus Lore. I've already I Am Number Four and liked it mostly because there's a beagle in it and I have beagles (No not really, but still, BK kicks B-U-T-T)

Sp yeah, those are pretty good books and so is Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy

Has anyone here read Origin? It's one of my favorites.
Heres the synopsis;

Pia has grown up in a secret laboratory hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest. She was raised by a team of scientists who have created her to be the start of a new immortal race. But on the night of her seventeenth birthday, Pia discovers a hole in the electric fence that surrounds her sterile home--and sneaks outside the compound for the first time in her life.

Free in the jungle, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. Together, they embark on a race against time to discover the truth about Pia's origin--a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever.

Origin is a beautifully told, shocking new way to look at an age-old desire: to live forever, no matter the cost.
