Story ideas?

Alright beautiful people -- Hopey and I have been working through the Hunger Games, and we have finished the trilogy AND the prequel. Team Peeta all the way, forever and ever.

What should be next? I kinda wanna go with Lord of the Flies or something equally entertaining but figured I'd reach out and see what's popular right now.

And no, I'm not reading Fourth Wing outloud -- I value my voice. I'd never recover from that.

Let me introduce you to a wonderful man called Terry Pratchett...

Yes, I read things that aren't magic times.

Sometimes.

[xp_rogue]

Colour me shocked!

[xp_clea]

What genres do you enjoy reading?

[xp_rogue]

Oh I read everything as long as it isn't scary.

Why not a classic? If you haven't read it already, how about the Lord of the Rings? Then she can watch the movies (and the show) to compare.

My voice would never recover!!! But that is a good idea... start with the hobbit though lol

[xp_dominion]

Clearly Gordon Korman.

Awww that's so cute that you think he's the best Canadian you can offer.

See, I read this thinking Hope was getting out and doing movies with others and got really excited...

But books. I mean, some of my favorite films were books once.

[xp_rogue]

That's blasphemy!

Some books should never have been movies. Looking at you, Maze Runner!

[xp_longshot]

So true, some movies should never had been books. A cycle.

I take it she enjoyed the Hunger Games. There's the Divergent series, if she wants something in the same vein, I think. Alternately, what sorts of things did she particularly like about The Hunger Games and was there anything she disliked? You could probably take her to a bookstore and get some more tailored recommendations.

[xp_rogue]

I mean .... let's be honest -- it seemed comforting to her considering where she grew up ....

Oh, Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. It's a whole series, seven books. Or there's The Rook by Daniel O'Malley, that was really good. Also, a must read: Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.

so many options!! I read Good Omens! I loved it. It might go over her head though.
