I am only 15, but I have to say, I really like T-Pierce. I loved David's Father... I don't remember who that was by however. I also enjoyed The BFG (big friendly giant)
I also liked Tamora Pierces books! Her song of the lioness series is actually what got me reading. And I do still love her books! She is coming out with a new book that's part of her Beka Cooper series SO EXCITED!! >.<
The Harry Potter series and The Hobbit (because my Dad read them to me and my sister as bedtime stories), the Animal Ark series, the Nancy Drew series and a series about faries that I believe was called the Rainbow Magic series. And also Dr. Seuss (Green Eggs and Ham was the first book I ever read all by myself (out loud to my mum, but still))
I loved the 'giving tree' and this horribly terrifying book called the Flat man about a guy that got flat,slid under your door and creeped all over your house -shivers- who wrote that for children? Who thought that was a good idea? 'hey lets just write a book that will TERRIFY those poor children into stuffing towels under their doors in a vain effort to protect themselves from having the flat man lay on their face and smother them while they sleep in their beds.'?
Eliza, I'm so glad you said something about your brunette hair...because I was sitting there thinking about how it looked darker and wanted to ask!
Dude, that thunder clap was UNREAL.
I loved the Little House books as a kid...and that Newbury-winning book about a character named Carrie or something. Yeah, you see how much THAT one stayed with me. If anyone knows anything about a book concerning a tomboyish red-haired girl named Carrie or something similar, let me know!
Every year I drive through Allegan, MI (not too far from Battle Creek) I've been caught up in horrible storms. Last year, my boyfriend and I barely got away from a tornado there. I was like o.O when you said you were in Battle Creek in a storm.
heres a question for ur next video, "What movie had the most twisted/messed up ending. for me it was The Mist, cause the ending was incredibly brutal..
In no particular order: Artemis Fowl, His Dark Materials Trilogy, a surprising amount of Christopher Pike, Famous five, The sabriel trilogy, the wind singer trilogy and many many more.
My favorite childhood books were a lot of fantasy as well. I, too, was rather into Tamora Pierce's books (particularly the Circle of Magic series), as well Roald Dahl books, this book entitled Half Magic which I read several times over, and this series of books about royalty (namely princesses) from different ages in time (though I think this series enticed me in my school's library mostly because of the gold-embossed pages). Oh, and Harry Potter, of course; that one's almost a given, you know?
Its difficult to place the term "child" I was 12 when I first read Harry Potter and that took up most of my life afterwards. But younger than 12, I read the Lloyd Alexander series "Chronicles of Prydain" which included "The Black Cauldron". Also loved the Animorphs series.
When I was very small my favorites were "Piggy Bank Gonzales" and "Stand Back, Said the Elephant, I'm Going to Sneeze!" Then when I started reading myself I liked "Lizard Music" by Daniel Pinkwater and "The Boy Who Reversed Himself" by William Sleator. which is about inter-dimensional travel!
I'm looking for background music for a video and the music you used in this video it's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Did you find it somewhere? Already have it? Buy it? Make it? Thanks!
This music is the the music folder on iMovie. It's free to use. It can also be found in Garageband I think. It's Mac stuff. You can also head over to incompetech com to check out his rights free stuff. Very good.
@pineappleboyfilms That's perfect! I use iMovie, but I didn't remember there being the type of music I wanted, so I foolishly didn't even look this time. I checked incompetech, but I wasn't finding what I wanted. I don't know if I'm not using it correctly, but I find that website pretty confusing. Thanks a lot for letting me know about the music!
great, hows that book going for you, its got a good plot in there and a few interesting characters too, maybe a conflict, maybe a hero a protagonist? hu maybe they have a conflict but maybe by the end its all good yeah hows that book going.
Thanks! I'm in champaign right now for school, so next time I'm in Chicago and I see you, I'll see if I can get them. Maybe I'll go to lakeforest and hang with Amudha at work for a day or something so you don't have to come downtown. WHO KNOWS!
Well, I'm 17 but when I was around 6 to... 11 my favourite books were Matilda (Roald Dahl) the Harry Potter series (good old J K) and I liked a few of the Jacquline Wilson books, Tracy Beaker, Double Act etc. :) Hope you guys got out of the storm okay!
I was into a lot of books as a kid, but this one book that I can't seem to get over, I can't find. It was about this girl, who I think was the daughter of Robin Hood or somehow related to the Merry Men and she lived all her life in the woods, but she runs away. She ends up hiding out in a cave and this boy follows her and they end up being all cutesy. I'm not sure. I also loved Frindle. I was really big on that book. And the Bunnicula series! So much awesome!! I remember that picture too!
Some of my favorite series as a kid includes Harry Potter obviously, A Wrinkle in Time series by Madeleine L'Engle, The Giver series, Pendragon series, Anything by Tamora Pierce, Goosebumps, The Magic Treehouse series was probably my favorite because it was about two kids who when they read a specific book in the treehouse they would be transported to that world and then they had to try and find the book in that world to return home.
I didn't really get in to reading until grade 6-ish. And then it was mostly Star Wars books. First one I remember really getting off on was Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zhan. But the X-Wing series by Michael A Stackpole outshined the Thrawn Trilogy.
During the writing process I find myself writing and re-writing over and over. What do you suggest to do in order to avoid that, or is that a good thing? If it is a good thing how do I know when I should stop?
There should be something inside you telling you it's done. It just feels done. Then give it a group read with some friends. If it still feels done, it's done.
when i used to read(which was a really long time ago, even before a movie came out for it) i read Eragon and Elder. They were to of my favorite books as a kid. if you want to know what they are about message me.
Definitely Goosebumps. I also read The Secrets of Droon and Sideways Stories from Wayside School when I was really young. Then there was Harry Potter, The Giver, Pendragon, I could go on forever.
define children? Like five? Middle School? High School? Because right now, while I am in high school, my favorite book this year has been White Cat by Holly Black. I recently discovered a book I really like in middle school called Goblin Wood by Hilary Bell and reread it and its still pretty good actually. And when I was really little (and even now) I was big into the picture bible stories because the pictures were so pretty.
the original "warriors" series, with just firestar, and i used to love redwall. and the circle of magic and this other series called "the singer of all songs"!!!
@pineappleboyfilms Cool. Hearing about it from you guys actually made me decide to pick up the original versions of the Alanna series for my girlfriend who had never heard of the books and also for myself. I'm kinda excited to see how well it holds up and how the English version compares to the German one I read as a teenager.
Thanks for reminding me of the existence of this series guys!
Also: I've almost finished putting together the behind the scenes we were talking about. Next update maybe?
I'm baffled (I mean that in the best way possible) that you're using an iBook to write the script. I dunno why... maybe I like it because it's kinda retro.
It's too old for me to succumb to any distractions (no streaming video, no wifi connection at all), and it's old enough to run my really old screenwriting software.
When I was about 7, I loved this one dutch book called 'pluk en the petteflet'. After that I really got into Roald Dahl and when I was 11 I fell in love with the Harry Potter books.
Sam I am. (not much of a reader I guess). Wind in the willows, as a book I have and partially read, 30+ years ago. Kafka in college was kind of good. Otherwise the only books I tend to read (partially) are technical in nature. Although I don't have any of the for dummies series.
What's that wet looking stuff. I haven't seen anything like that for a very long time.
I always loved the Redwall series. I dunno, I read a lot of books back then... some others that jumped out were Ella Enchanted, The Golden Goblet, Tin Tin (if that counts)... I dunno, I was a weird kid, so I read everything from joke books to encyclopedias. I used to love the Visual Dictionary and a book called How Things Work.
Ooooo... Um... As someone said a little before me, Ella Enchanted. As Jake said Bunnicula was a good one. I was a huge fan of the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. (Though I wasn't much of a reader, so I got the unabridged books on tape with a full cast.)
The first series that got me obsessed with reading was Redwall, when I was probably seven? I read a lot of fantasy stuff, but after Redwall, the most important thing I read when I was younger was Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. I didn't read that until I was eleven or so, but it changed my life.
when i was a really young kid i loved the three little wolves and the big bad pig
its basically like the classic story but the roles are reversed, and instead of a brick house at the end the wolves build a house of flowers. when the big bad pig inhales to blow their house down he smells the flowers and decides not to be bad anymore and then they all go frolicking through a field together.
i haven't been able to find the book anywhere, so if anyone knows what im talkin bout, halla back
My junior high English teacher (first year we had her, she was only a student teacher, the year after that she was our full time teacher) read The Giver to us. I've always remembered that book because she was so hot. I didn't know there were others.
Shiloh, Old Yeller, Call of the Wild, White Fang... I liked dog books, haha.
Non-dog books would be Bridge to Teribithia and Of Sound Mind. I read a lot when I was younger. Of Sound Mind was probably my favorite book out of all of them.
Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl Series (ESPECIALLY the second) They're pretty new, but I'm 15 so, I liked them like 5 years ago, when I first read them.
I read around 40 Animorphs when I was a wee lad. I still have them kicking around too. My best friend advised me never to read the last book, and I honouring her opinion.
I liked the Redwall series. So many descriptions of food! It was the first and so far only series that has made me cry (when Jess, the squirrel warrior maiden dies, I believe).
I read Bunnicula too :P I liked the stalky celery one.. can't remember the exact name, but it was awesome... I still remember this one line where it said that the puppy "was chewing a carpet that someone left carelessly on the floor".
P.S just remembered, it was called "The Celery Stalks at Midnight"
Answer: Yeah, I didn't read too many books as a kid.. I regret it now, obviously. But who doesn't regret, eh? It's a *stupid* integral part of the human experience. God damn it.
Well, the first book I read when I was in year 2 was The Hobbit, and then I read the Harry Potter series upto no. 4, then I read the Hobbit again and stopped reading until I was an adult. So I guess, outside of Comic books, my favourite book EVER when I was a kid was the Hobbit, and then Harry Potter after that... Obviously, I'm a 90s kid
When i was younger i tried to read the Harry Potter books and after half of the 2nd one i was like F*** THIS, IM DONE and thats about it. But the book Year of The Black Rainbow is pretty awesome and got me back into reading. In the words of Other Scott: "Hooray For That..."
His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. And Redwall. Madeleine L'Engle's books. Gordon Korman's books. The Abhorsen series by Garth Nix. I read soooo many books as a kid.
A Wrinkle in Time, Watership Down, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, Mr. Popper's Penguins, The Secret Garden, The Series of Unfortunate Events, Ella Enchanted, The Wizard of Oz. I've always been a bit of a reader. ^_^
the baby sitter's club, and baby sitter's little sister, junie b. jones, but I found Lion,Witch and the Wardrobe in 4th grade and could not stop reading it over and over.
Loved roald dahl, also like this series called the Magic Treehouse. Where these two kids find a treehouse that allows them to go throughout history and stuff.
I remember Bunnicula! I wrote a story in elementary school where I totally plagiarised the books and wrote about vampire bunnies.
I really loved the Chrestomanci series by Dianna Wynnes Jones. And I think I might have read close to every single book written by Enid Blyton, though not many people seem to know who she is anymore.
I adored The Velveteen Rabbit and The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

When I was about 7, I loved this one dutch book called 'pluk en the petteflet'. After that I really got into Roald Dahl and when I was 11 I fell in love with the Harry Potter books.

I loved the Magic Tree House series. Hell, I loved a lot more, but these had the biggest impact, especially since there were a bunch of them.

Sam I am. (not much of a reader I guess). Wind in the willows, as a book I have and partially read, 30+ years ago. Kafka in college was kind of good. Otherwise the only books I tend to read (partially) are technical in nature. Although I don't have any of the for dummies series.
What's that wet looking stuff. I haven't seen anything like that for a very long time.

I always loved the Redwall series. I dunno, I read a lot of books back then... some others that jumped out were Ella Enchanted, The Golden Goblet, Tin Tin (if that counts)... I dunno, I was a weird kid, so I read everything from joke books to encyclopedias. I used to love the Visual Dictionary and a book called How Things Work.
I love the brown hair by the way! ^^

Ooooo... Um... As someone said a little before me, Ella Enchanted. As Jake said Bunnicula was a good one. I was a huge fan of the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. (Though I wasn't much of a reader, so I got the unabridged books on tape with a full cast.)

The first series that got me obsessed with reading was Redwall, when I was probably seven? I read a lot of fantasy stuff, but after Redwall, the most important thing I read when I was younger was Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. I didn't read that until I was eleven or so, but it changed my life.

when i was a really young kid i loved the three little wolves and the big bad pig
its basically like the classic story but the roles are reversed, and instead of a brick house at the end the wolves build a house of flowers. when the big bad pig inhales to blow their house down he smells the flowers and decides not to be bad anymore and then they all go frolicking through a field together.
i haven't been able to find the book anywhere, so if anyone knows what im talkin bout, halla back

There are two others?!

@pineappleboyfilms Yep: Gathering Blue and The Messenger. They're "companion novels" to The Giver and form a somewhat loose trilogy. :)

@Furisu212 I am amazed by this revelation.
My junior high English teacher (first year we had her, she was only a student teacher, the year after that she was our full time teacher) read The Giver to us. I've always remembered that book because she was so hot. I didn't know there were others.

Shiloh, Old Yeller, Call of the Wild, White Fang... I liked dog books, haha.
Non-dog books would be Bridge to Teribithia and Of Sound Mind. I read a lot when I was younger. Of Sound Mind was probably my favorite book out of all of them.

I liked the Redwall series. So many descriptions of food! It was the first and so far only series that has made me cry (when Jess, the squirrel warrior maiden dies, I believe).

I read Bunnicula too :P I liked the stalky celery one.. can't remember the exact name, but it was awesome... I still remember this one line where it said that the puppy "was chewing a carpet that someone left carelessly on the floor".
P.S just remembered, it was called "The Celery Stalks at Midnight"
Answer: Yeah, I didn't read too many books as a kid.. I regret it now, obviously. But who doesn't regret, eh? It's a *stupid* integral part of the human experience. God damn it.
Much Love,
me

Well, the first book I read when I was in year 2 was The Hobbit, and then I read the Harry Potter series upto no. 4, then I read the Hobbit again and stopped reading until I was an adult. So I guess, outside of Comic books, my favourite book EVER when I was a kid was the Hobbit, and then Harry Potter after that... Obviously, I'm a 90s kid

I remember Bunnicula! I wrote a story in elementary school where I totally plagiarised the books and wrote about vampire bunnies.
I really loved the Chrestomanci series by Dianna Wynnes Jones. And I think I might have read close to every single book written by Enid Blyton, though not many people seem to know who she is anymore.

When I was in middle school, I became completely obsessed with the Ender series. I think I've reread that book at least a dozen times.
