How to Add Books — 2 years ago

Search the title of the book you want in the green book on the right.


How Can I Add? — 2 years ago

I deleted one of the “Life of Pi” entries. Having two of the same book is rather redundant.

Also I could not figure out how to add books
so here is my list of additions to the list:

Eva Luna, The Great Gatsby, White Oleander, Oryx and Crake, The Kin of Atta are Waiting for you, Stranger in A Strange Land, The Stranger, 1984, Animal Farm, Like Water for Chocolate, The Bean Trees, Stuff: The secret lives of everyday things, The Temple of My Familiar, Hatchet, The Golden Compass, Alice in Wonderland, Through the Lookingglass, Dune, Dragon Rider’s of Pern, School’s Out Forever, Shannara, Ship of Magic, The Tombs of Atuan, The MIsts of Avalon, Redwall

The Series of Unfortunate Events was recommended twice, so I deleted one of them (reading the reccomendation for the whole series rather than just book #1). I hope you guys don’t mind.

Also, added the Zelazny, Gaiman and Pratchett novels.

:)


Good List... — 3 years ago

I added The Silmarillion by Tolkien, if you’re a fan of LotR and the Hobbit, it’s a good recommendation (in my opinion!). Also, Wuthering Heights for a taste of the classics.
