The Best Series to Read
Hi here's some really good series to read.
First of all, there's Harry Potter.
Secondly, there's A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.
and thirdly there's Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights series.
Try them; they're all great books!

I'm also a huge fan of Harry Potter. I'm VERY obsessed. I've read all the books and cannot wait until the next one! I have considered reading the Series of Unfortunate Events, but I haven't gotten around to it...

Ok, maybe I'll read it sometime. But as for now, I have enough books to read. All of the series you mentioned above are fantasy. I LOVE fantasy books such as Artemis Fowl & Inkheart. I tried to read the Hobbit, but I could not get through all of the description. It simply bored me. I should probably try to read it again...

Yes, I know what you mean. I tried reading it too, but I got bored. Descriptions take up too much time sometimes and the story doesnt go on until after a long time.

Some of my favorites:
Robin Hobb - The Farseer Trilogy, The Liveship Traders Trilogy, The Tawny Man Trilogy (READ THEM IN THIS ORDER)
Lynn Flewelling - The Nightrunner Series (Start with Luck in the Shadows)

BLEH I don't like series of unfortunate events the first book was alright and then it got old really fast. I don't recomened it. I do though love harry potter. I don't like artemis fowl either for same reasons first book was alright.
The starwars is a good movie with the ones they made and those books are good to but there are too many and I don't like all of them but they are good nonetheless but not for me.
