Really Great Books

Hello People!
I am in need of followers but I thought that I should post this anyway. For all those poor people out there who want to read something else rather than reading Harry Potter and Twilight again - there are more books out in the fantasy world which I'm sure you're gonna love.

1. Try the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini - The first book in the series has already been made into a movie - Eragon. The Cycle is about the adventures of a sixteen year old boy Eragon and his dragon Saphira (pronounced Suh-FEAR-uh). Basically, this book is somewhat like Harry Potter with a few exciting twists. I'd recommend these books to anyone who dreams of Hogwarts each night.

2. Already read it? Don't worry, how about the Hunger Games Trilogy - btw, movie releases on 23rd March - can't wait! Anyway, this Trilogy is about a sixteen year old girl in post apocalyptic USA who has to take part in the annual Hunger Games - and falls in love with her fellow Tribute in the Arena. Actually, once you take up the book, it's difficult to put it down.
3. Old Topic? How about supernatural romance - with hardly any romance and lots of encounters with a couple of ghosts? Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake is one of the best ghost stories ever. Theseus Cassio Lowood kills ghosts! Yes, ghosts! One day, he and his witch-mother go to kill Anna Kurlov's ghost but when our hero ends up in her house - she doesn't kill him, even though the legend says that Anna Dressed In Blood will kill anyone who dares to enter her house. Sequel - Girl Of Nightmares releases in 2012.
4. Still bored? How about a new vampire story? Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is the story of Kali D'Angelo who is human today and a preternatural creature hunter - every other day! It is a really interesting book and I refused to stop until I finished it!
5. Or do you want something right in the middle of fiction and non-fiction? Between Shades Of Gray by Ruta Sepetys tells the hardships faced by Lina Vilkas, a Lithuhanian, when she and her family are taken away by Soviet soldiers during the reign of Josef Stalin. Even though it's got a not-so-happy ending, it shows the hardships faced by the common people due to Communism.
So, did you find any of my suggestions useful for a boring afternoon?

I'll update soon!
