Bookstore Suggestions

[Andy]

Here you can suggest books that we should add to the bookstore (http://www.youngwritersonline.net/ishop.php). Please tell us the name of the book(s) and the author(s), and also if those books are part of a series.

Please don't suggest anything ridiculous, like adding all 100+ Boxcar Children books. For a series longer than 15 books, we'll probably only accept the first book.:reading:

Even more helpful: if you can give us a link to the book's cover or its wikipedia page, it would make it much easier for your suggestions to be added.

Edit: (by Shaun)
Some guidelines to make things easier:
Alright guys, I'm in charge of adding books to the story. I'd like to ask you all to do a favor from this point on (everything before this post is fine the way it is). If you could provide the following information:

Full author name.
Name of book.
Link to a high resolution image of the cover of the book (doesn't matter how large, just so long as it looks good. The higher the resolution the better it looks when I shrink it)
Genre or if it is part of a series the name of that series.

So, yeah, it'll make things go really fast for adding books if all that info is given straight out.

Thanks guys!

[Shaun]

At least for the time being we'll only take one for a long series. We want to get a lot of variety first. Once we start winding down we can fill up series though right?

My suggestion, even though you'll hate it: Eragon and Eldest

And something less lame: The Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov (Foundation, Second Foundation, and one other which I forget...)
And Leven Thumps (both books thus far released--the Gateway to Foo and the Whispered Secret)

Some classics:
Dickens, Orwell, Homer, Faulkner, Steinback, Hemmingway, Lewis Carol (or Carroll), the guy who wrote Wizard of Oz, and more when I think of them...

What about books of poems?
T. S. Eliot, Byron?

[Andy]

Okay, those all sound like good things to add! I've already got a list of about 40 classic books, but since we'll be sorting them by author in the store, it'll be easy to see what we don't have yet.

Books of poems, yes.

[Shaun]

Keats! Whatever we do, we have to have KEATS!

[Andy]

Artemis Fowl (Colfer), Pellinor (Croggon), and Inheritance (Paolini) series books added to the bookstore (10 total)

[Tncowgirl]

Hmmm, Shaun already said Eragon. So lets see, Wolf by the Ears (Ann Rinaldi), pretty much anything by her. But Girl in Blue, is a really good one. hmmmmmmm, This Present Darkness (Frank Peritee *Sp*) and then Peircing this Darkness by him too.

[Andy]

Eragon and Eldest were added earlier today. I'll try to add your suggestions soon, TNC.

Just added: The Foundation Trilogy (Asimov) and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (T. S. Eliot)

[Shadow]

The Word and the Void Series by Terry Brooks, The Old Kingdom Series and The Keys to the Kingdom Series. I'll think of more later.

[Andy]

Added the 7 UK versions of Harry Potter, Huck Finn, and the smallest and largest books in the world. :D

Next time I'll add the ones you guys suggested.

[Andy]

Added TNC's 4 suggestions.

Note: at the moment, the books may seem expensive, but that's because we're not to the point of doing a lot of critiquing yet.

[Carraka]

George R. R. Martin!

A Game of Thrones
http://www.georgerrmartin.com/gallery/art/thrones22.jpg

A Clash of Kings
http://www.georgerrmartin.com/gallery/art/kings03.jpg

A Storm of Swords
http://www.georgerrmartin.com/gallery/art/swords13.jpg

A Feast for Crows
http://www.georgerrmartin.com/gallery/art/crows03.jpg

You could use those four versions for his book, because they actually have pictures, or you could use the other ones ....

-shrug-

How much do you think I'd get if I reposted EC on here? xD

[Shaun]

Carraka! You're here! Yay! I'm happy :D.
And Andrew, stop adding books so I can actually do some of the work Mr.! Sheesh, you're doing far too much work as it is.

We need some non-fantasy suggestions guys. Maybe some little known works or stuff that just doesn't fit into genre.

[Carraka]

Sci-Fi stuff? I can do that. I can just stare at my bookshelf, really.

[Andy]

Thanks for the suggestions (and especially the images!), Carraka. *Lets Shaun do work* :devious:

[Shadow]

If you want non-Fantasy ones, I suggest Malorie Blackman's Noughts and Crosses trilogy. It's a romance/thriller sort of thing, but it's not like that teen crap romance, it's realistic.

I'm not posting anything new until aSoIaF is added. However, two comments. In the profile section, it says that we've earned Icons. Can you change this to "Books Bought"?

Secondly, you may want to edit that you want that information into the first post of this thread. Most people won't be scrolling through all the other recommendations before adding their own, especially as this thread grows.

We can change it to books bought, but the reason it says icons is so guests don't mistakenly think members can earn real books from this site, or that they can simply list books they've bought in real-life. Plus, not everything in the store is a book.

Shaun, Car's other two points fall into your sphere. :)

[Shaun]

Yeah yeah, I know. Sorry, I've been incredibly busy and stressed :S. I'll do it! Just, be patient!

[Nyx]

I have a bunch of books I want to suggest but I'll wait until you're less busy and then I'll shower you with list after list of wonderfully brilliant books!:D

[Carraka]

No! Post all of them now! Then, Shaun will become depressed and commit suicide, and I'll be elevated to adminship! be able to do them all at once!

Wait, I take that back.

DON'T POST ANY MORE UNTIL MARTIN'S BOOKS ARE ADDED!!! Yeah.

[Shaun]

:( You guys are mean :(

[Carraka]

I really don't care. Torture me.

Heehee. But notice we haven't actually posted any long lists of books.

Yet.

[Shaun]

Okay, all of the books mentioned should be up. If I missed some let me know, and feel free to make more suggestions. I updated the opening post to this too so there is the thing asking you guys to give me images. Large, high resolution images are best, and any relevant information to the book to help me categorize it!

So, start suggesting!

[Carraka]

I can't even buy the first book! -teardrop- Curse you, Shaun! I'm going to have to crit WitSB now. Line-by-line crits too.

Anyway, I'm going to try not to flood you with more fantasy stuff. -stares at bookshelf- Um, what's left?

Alexandre Dumas
The Count of Monte Cristo (Le Comte de Monte Cristo)
Adventure, Action, Classic
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0140449264.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
Yeah, I think the English covers are prettier.

Gaston Leroux
The Phantom of the Opera (Le Fantôme de l’Opéra)
Romance Horror Classic?
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n2/n10922.jpg
Once again, I just prefer the English version.

My friend refuses to read this one because it has a curse word in the title. Um, what?

[Andy]

Looks excellent, Shaun!

[Shaun]

One problem, there is a L'amour book that for whatever reason the images I tried using never worked. So it's in there, but no image. Sorry about that guys...

[Nyx]

Oh yay! the books are up! Thanks Shaun. Get ready I'll soon flood you with a never ending list...

[Shaun]

Go on and make any suggestions you want guys! I'll do a flood of additions over the following weekend.

[Shadow]

Oh, if no one's mentioned them, Anthony Horowitz's The Power of Five series and The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver.

[Shaun]

Links to images mister! Look at the first post for the thread and edit yours. It makes it easier for me to get the right sized image, get all the information, etc. So, go back and do that real quick :). If we start getting a LOT of submissions all at once it could take me hours to do it if I don't have the images :S. This way it takes me only an hour or so for 20 or 30 books.

[Rafael Domination]

Oooh! Oooh! The Alex Rider series would make a swell addition! :D

[Shaun]

Rafael :P. Read the first post for this. It has instructions!

[Rafael Domination]

Er...Sorry. I guess All three of my brains skipped that...

All these books were made by Anthony Horowitz:

Stormbreaker....http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/9/95/Stormbreaker.JPG

Point Blanc...http://products.priceclash.co.uk/images/nodrop/220/0744559715/books/point-blanc.jpg

Skeleton Key...http://www.alexrider.com/assets_alexrider/dynamic/1111425677036.jpeg

Eagle Strike...http://www.alexrider.com/statics/dyn/1147259947149.jpeg

Scorpia...http://www.walkerbooks.co.uk/assets_walker/dynamic/1110292927426.jpeg

Ark Angel...http://www.just-for-kids.com/gif/apr06/ararkangel.jpg

Snakehead...http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8c/Snakehead_cover.JPG

[Carraka]

This is not a suggestion. This is a comment.

Eagle Strike put me in depression for three days, because my favorite character died. Died, died, died--and after s/he died, the series was never the same. Nevertheless, I read on obsessively--I mean, I tried to--except I couldn't find Scorpia. Anywhere. In any bookstore, library, thing blah.

For ten weeks. Then I picked up George R. R. Martin. Thank you, Horowitz, for changing my life.

You've heard this story from me before, right?

[Rafael Domination]

Yeah! I think so! :D

Actually, Scorpia put me in depression even more than Eagle Strike. That character who died in the Fourth book was also one of my faves, plus the ending too, but the ending in Scorpia was the worst...

:D

[Carraka]

I didn't like how all that parent stuff worked out in Scorpia.

And by the time I finally read Scorpia, the next book had already come out, so the ending to that book was just annoying. Definitely not an example of cliffhanging at its finest. Then again, there's Brienne. What can I say?

[Nyx]

Well here's some more to add:

Lord Loss by Darren Shan

[Rafael Domination]

SNAKEHEAD IS OUT!!!!

WOOOOOO!!!!!

I don't care how much points it costs: it's definitely worth it! :D

[Shaun]

Hopefully I'll get all the suggestions that aren't up already up tomorrow evening. So make more suggestions by then :P

[Imelda]

*Cries*

Stardust! UK cover because it's prettier and that's what's on my shelf. :p http://www.tomhancocks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/9780755322824.jpg Actually mine has a different quote on the front. Weird ...

Neverwhere, because it's better than Stardust, if not as cute. http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/0755322800.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

I was going to suggest Sabriel, etc, but they're already there. :p However, the first two keys books don't match, so I took the liberty of finding matching pictures or it'll drive me nuts ...

http://www.garthnix.co.uk/images/minter_monday_cover.jpg

http://www.garthnix.co.uk/images/grim_tuesday_cover.jpg

Aaaaaand The Dark Lord Of Derkholm, because it's the best parody ever. :D http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/0575075368.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

So now you have some more work, Shauny. :p

[Nyx]

Aww...I thought the books were soposued to be up tonight??:(

[Andy]

Shaun will get to it, just wait. He's probably just busy at the moment.

[Shaun]

Just be patient guys. I'm sorry. Being a University Student, Blogger, and Serious Writer all suck up a lot of time :). I'll get it done eventually :P.

[Shaun]

Books all added. Or at least they should be.

[Nyx]

yay thanks so much Shaun! -hug-

Now I have some virtual shopping to do:D

[GeorgeMichael]

Lois Lowry
The Giver
http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/deanedu/litstudies/techprojects/panyc02/htdocs/panyc13/gustavo/books/the%20giver.jpg
Fiction I guess

[Shaun]

Isn't that like magical realism/fantasy? I'll add it, I'm just curious.

[GeorgeMichael]

Yes it is something like that, it's basically a play on a communistic community (doesn't everyone love alliteration?) It's also one of my favorite books of all time. It's really good if you haven't you should read it.

[Andy]

Oh, The Giver! That book's famous. We really should have it.

[Shaun]

Goshdarnit, I forgot to add this. Everyone make a bunch of suggestions so I can get them done at some point this week!

[Imelda]

I won't be making any suggestions, because I can't even afford the ones I already asked you to put up. :(

Having said that, how about Strunk and White? :D

[Zuzy]

XD Yes, geeky writer books are great.

[Nyx]

I don't know if his dark materials has been recommended yet or not but I'll post it anyways:

[Andy]

The Redwall Series All by Brian Jacques, in order of publication. 18 is a lot, and he's still writing more, so maybe 10 is enough? The first three are the original trilogy.

I won't be posting new books after this until the quarter is fully over. Please make suggestions. Quarter ends on the 13th I think. After that I'm going to start going through big lists and adding books. Make all the suggestions you want though.

Edit:
Everything has been added in. So suggestions welcome again.

To everyone else! I am pretty much done with this quarter, so please make lots of suggestions :). I am practically finished with my last essay so all is well :D.

[Shaun]

[Nyx]

Yay! Thanks Shaun! By the way the reason I didn't put those ones because they aren't out yet,...I don't think:huh:

I can't believe no one's suggested "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury (what's wrong with you people?!)

You should also add in some Poe, King, and Matheson.

I don't see horror being very represented here!!

:mad:

[Shaun]

Give me some images and names :P.

The Brian Keene and Richard Laymon books are the ones I want to see in the store.

I'm playing catchup this weekend, so anything you want in the store give me images for! Those will be going in...

[Zombified]

Ahem....

Weekend came and gone.
I see no books!

[GeorgeMichael]

People are busy Zomb :P Things do come up :)

[Zombified]

I've waited two weeks already...

Plus, aren't administrators supposed to stick to what they say?

[GeorgeMichael]

Honey attracts more bees than vinegar.

A spoonful of sugar helps.

A kind word receives a kind reply.

To err is human, to forgive...

and finally

patience is a virtue :)

Ok, I'm done with the quotes for today.

[Nyx]

Honey attracts more bees than vinegar.



The ironicy of this quote is that don't most people try to get RID of bees?:P

[GeorgeMichael]

Sigh, I know. But that's not really the point of the quote :P

[Shaun]

OMG! I'm so sorry Zomb. I was sitting around Sunday thinking I had something to do...I'm really very sorry. That was my fault. I should have written it down as something that had to be done.
I will do this Friday evening for you. Please forgive me!

[Alex]

I love the hint of sarcasm in Shaun's words, I know he isn't being sarcastic. I just thought I'd point that out >,<

[Shaun]

I lied about when I'm doing this. I'll do it tonight.

[Zombified]

Don't worry about it, Shaun.

I was just grumpy (still am).
Take your time with it!

[Shaun]

Nope, going up tonight and I am very very very sorry for not doing it. I really am. I feel like crap because I told you I'd do it and I didn't. So hit me with something hard and cumbersome please as punishment...

[Shaun]

Books Are Up!

[Zombified]

Thank you, Shaun!

I'd hit you with a dead cat, but you did your job, so I'll save the cat for later.
:D

Read the first post Scotty. I need images. Otherwise it takes me three hours just to hunt them all down myself and it takes forever to get things done :S. Links to images works of course :P.

I'm going to make adding books a weekly ritual, so please make suggestions every week guys.

[Andy]

I'm going to make adding books a weekly ritual, so please make suggestions every week guys.Otherwise the gods will be displeased, for Shaun will have nothing to offer at his ritual.

Yes, I'm bored and about to go to bed. :)

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi- read the book before you watch the movie.

About: A memoir telling about Satrapi's growing up during the Islamic revolution in Iran. It's simply written and in graphic form. It gives readers a first-hand look at what life is like during a war and the effect politics have in the life of people.

(not sure if it was already suggested)

[Shaun]

Actually, we don't have the bookstore anymore. Sorry about that :S.
