Yeah, I can't really place a lot of details, but it all amalgamates with so many other post apocalyptic stories of a similar theme.

I read them about 9 years ago, interesting premise, rather enjoyed book one (Wool), but couldn't get into the other books. I'm not surprised it's becoming a series, a movie wouldn't do it justice.

They are completely different. I would say the Miyazaki film was loosely inspired by the book, whereas the book is heavily influenced by myths and fairy tales. I saw the movie before I read the book and love them for completely different reasons and was shocked by how the movie is nothing like the book. I'm going to reread them once I figure out which kindle account I have them on.

If you haven't read the book, how can you say the movie is as good? Or do you mean you haven't read the rest of the trilogy?

They aren't all about the same main character but all in the Abhorsen family. They're quite good if you're interested in the Old Kingdom and not just Sabriel.

Naomi Novik's Scholomance trilogy has been great. You might like the Chrestomanci novels by Dianna Wynn Jones, Garth Nix Abhorsen series is great.

It would really be useful to know what you liked about Harry Potter.

But which Amazon? Various countries have different offerings, US and UK are quite different.

What everyone else said. I track the books I've read, use the Book Challenge, see what other people are reading (I've gotten some interesting books that way). But I didn't even realise it could give you suggestions. Haha. Good Reads is owned by Amazon, so it's not surprising you may be getting certain suggestions.

I read so much in middle and High School I couldn't tell you what we covered... But I can say the books I read for fun had a greater impact on me than those I read for school.

At Uni I took Non-Western World Lit and I really enjoyed the books and learned SO much about colonialism and it's affects. I am definitely a better person for that course.

I liked the first three, but everything after that...

It's really great!

The Moon is Harsh Mistress is the famous book that uses 'Tanstaafl': there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. And it's about the first sentient computer. Has Sherlock Holmes references, and war. It's pretty damn awesome.

I really loved The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein. Still one of my favourite books and it's actually aged quite well considering when it was written.

I also love Becky Chambers writing, The Long Way to a Small Angry planet and the rest of the series are favourites.

I read them as a child, my grandparents new I loved to read so I got gifted both sets of novels. Laura is from the Big Woods if MN, and I was from MN, which was cool. I also moved out West with my family. The Anne of Green Gables books lost me as soon as Anne grew up, I didn't feel anything in common once she graduated from school so never read the other books until I was older. I didn't read all of LM Montgomery's books as she changed lead characters throughout the series.

Basically, they were very different. Anne was Canadian, she lived in a settled town within driving and short train rides to other towns/cities.

Laura was American and her family were settlers/homesteaders looking for a better life. I still don't get why they left their family and friends in the Big Woods... And Alonzo's story was fascinating! I loved his novel.
