I know of a lot of people who'd flare up or probably roll their eyes on that HP-Twilight thing. I'm included. ^_^' I could go with a long list of reasons why Meyer's Twilight series couldn't compare to JK's HP. ah wait. Here's one discussion... http://severedkitty.multiply.com/journal/item/514/Hey_Twilighters<BR/><BR/>(Hey, just for the record, I DID TRY reading Meyer's Twilight series. I DID TRY, because I know I wouldn't have the right to talk about unless I read it (or tried). But it's been months now, and I still couldn't bring myself to finish the second installment. Even as I was reading it, my mind keeps wandering somewhere else. When I read HP, I get so engrossed. :P) <BR/>--Sumthinblue, you must be really patient. Hat down to you who managed to finish the series. I have all the books, but I'm still stuck with the 2nd. ^_^'<BR/><BR/>JK created her own world on Harry Potter. One sign of being a really good writer is when you get to encourage others to write too through your books. JK did with her HP series. Look at all the fan fics.<BR/><BR/>I've read and reread (and reread and reread and reread) the HP series. Talk about being a fan. But the HPs are the only books I got to read that much. ^_^<BR/><BR/>Omigod, I've only read Darren Shan's first. I haven't got time to look for all the others. My friend promised to lend me hers, but the 2nd and 3rd are still on loan (by her other friends).<BR/><BR/>Somebody recommended Artemis Fowl to me. You might want to check it out. I have the complete digital copy. ^_^' It looks promising.adiectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701474405331630553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-37611178375850092772009-03-24T20:22:00.000+08:002009-03-24T20:22:00.000+08:00Hey there!

Stumbled upon your blog searching for other book blogs in the Philippines.<BR/><BR/>Am a big Harry Potter fan too and I've had this same dilemma.<BR/><BR/>I read the Twilight series (all four) and, well, gritted my teeth in exasperation throughout the series<BR/><BR/>I love Cornelia Funke, although I wouldn't say the Inkheart trilogy is her best work. I love Thief Lord more.<BR/><BR/>Have you tried Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus trilogy? I've read it and I loved it. It's no Harry Potter, but it's a great series too.<BR/>Darren Shan's Cirque du Freak also comes highly recommended by JK Rowling herself (which is why I read it). There are 12 books in the series, but it's well worth it.<BR/><BR/>Hope you don't mind, I'll link you up :) Always great to come across another book lover.sumthinbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232269685025586480noreply@blogger.com
