How much would you pay for these V.C. Andrew Books? I am trying to get rid of the remainder of my V.C. Andrews Collection. I sold the main bunch - which was pretty much all of them ever written to my one friend. and i have had some doubles that I wish to dispose of too. They were great books but I need to make room for my latest fetish which is the Stephenie Meyer series, Twilight. =] Here are the books I currently have left... Misty - Part of Wildflower Series Cat - Part of Wildflower Series Ruby - Part of Landry Series Seeds of Yesterday - Dollanger Series Secrets of the Morning - Cutler Series Tarnished Gold - Landry Series Darkest Hour - Cutler Series Into The Garden - Wildflower Series I am interested in selling them but I'm not sure how much to list them for on ebay or wherever. 3 of the books - the Wildflower Series ones - are in new condition. not a crease in the binding.. How much would you pay for all 8? 10 points to the best answer. ♥ Thank you
Is this a good book list? Trying to please the unpleasable here, so lit. fans, help is appreciated!? I am in American Literature II, basically anything after 1865. Our big project is a literary anthology, 10 books that are simliar, catagory wise, plot wise, time period, something that connects them. It is pretty much a list of these 10 connected books that we would suggest for people to read. My teacher is horrible, he hasn't read half the books that he has assigned us, and give is very little time to read the books in. We are 7 weeks into class and he has already had us read 6 novels, including The Jungle which I really felt needed more time to appreciate and understand. He has given us very little direction on how to do this assignment, outside of telling us it is half our grade, and says, " well pick literature by american writers after 1865 that you would advice people to read." Then he gets upset and says writers like Stephen King and Stephenie Meyer are not literature. Well, maybe not good literature to him, but the assignment isn't to make him a reading list. At any rate, I have decided to do Family Drama/relationships, etc. My books are: My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult Singing Songs by Meg Tilly The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold The Memory Keepers Daughter by Kim Edwards White Oleander by Janet Fitch Ellen Foster by Kay Gibbons Bastard Out Of Carolina by Dorothy Allison Handle With Care by Jodi Picoult Flowers In The Attic by V.C. Andrews The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult. Does this sound like a good list for the topic I have chosen? Can anyone recommend anything better? How well does this fit the description of the assignment he gave to us?

I Need Book Suggestions for the Summer? I'm a fast reader and I love reading, reading is my hobby, my passion, basically my life! So I was wondering if people could suggest some series' or longer books that I could read over the summer. I read almost every style of book so list anything that comes to mind! :) Series that I've Read: The Bartimeaus Trilogy Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit Harry Potter Series Twilight Series/The Host Abhorsen Trilogy Enderverse Books Inheritance Cycle (All Books Published) Bloody Jack series (All Published Books) Vampire Academy series (All Published Books) House of Night Series (All Published Books) Daughters of the Moon Series Nancy Drew The Mortal Instruments Song of the Lioness Quartet His Dark Materials Flowers in the Attic Series (Most of V.C.

If possible no repeats of listed books please, I'd prefer to not have fifty million TWILIGHT!!!<3<3 please and thank you! I have read The Max Ride Series and the Ink Heart books as well. As for Jody Picoult I read My Sister's Keeper and didn't like it very much it was far too depressing. Also as an FYI I am 18 years old so a little harder books are acceptable as well (The library in my town is horrible which is why a lot of these books are for a younger audience) Oh yeah I've also read Howl's Moving Castle and the last book that came out in that series but obviously you guys are getting what kind of books I like hehe I've also read the Dan Brown books already as well and the Diary of Anne Frank, Wicked, A Brave New World, Memoris of a Geisha, and The Blue Sword. You guys have given me so many great books to look into already thank you so much! I can't wait to see more!

Young Adult Fantasy Novel Suggestions? Alright, I'm a major bookworm and a wanna be writer [what that has to do with anything, don't ask me. Just had to throw it out there]. Anyways, I'm always, always looking for new books to read. I mainly enjoy reading books that are set in their own world, apart from ours. Romance is all right, I really love a little romance as a sub-plot. Action, amazing characters, good plot, etc. Not a fan of those set in our world, but I have read my share of those. Books I've Read & greatly enjoyed [these will give you an idea on what I like]: Graceling & Fire by Kristin Cashore. The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patrica C. Wrede Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken Inkheart Trilogy by Cornelia Funke Septimus Heap by Angie Sage Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray The Hollow by Jessica Verday The Study Series by Maria V. Snyder The Glass Series by Maria V. Snyder Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien The Children of Hurin by J.R.R Tolkien Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis The Swan Kingdom by Zoe Marriott The Goblin Wood by Hilari Bell The Knight and Rogue Books by Hilari Bell Wings by Aprilynne Pike The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Micheal Scott The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica by James A. Owen The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold The Dark Queen & The Courtesan by Susan Carroll The Immortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare Kate Daniel Novels by Ilona Andrews Mercy Thompson Novels by Patricia Briggs The Forgotten Creatures of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip The Book of Atrix Wolfe by Patricia A. McKillip Ombria in Shadow by Patricia A. McKillip The Dragonkeeper Chronicles by Donita K. Paul The Thief Lord & Dragonrider by Cornelia Funke Dragonlance: The New Adventures The Spook's [Or Last] Apprentice by Joseph Delaney Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson Street Magic & Demon Bound by Caitlin Kittredge Riane Bernes Novels by Lisa Shearin Please, please do not recommend the Twilight Saga to me. Or basically, anything that has to do with vampires, werewolves or fearies in our world. I know some novels I've listed are those things, but they were an exception [Mercy Thompson & Kate Daniels I'm meaning]. However, any more books like Kate Daniels, I'll gladly look 'em up. Thanks in advance! I also forgot, please don't suggest: Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, Dark is Rising. Love Lord of the Rings, so no need for those. Same with anything to do with Middle-Earth. However, I can read some epic fantasy so list away!
answer these contradicting biblical questions? Does every man sin? (a) Yes. “There is no man who does not sin” (I Kings 8:46; see also 2 Chronicles 6:36; Proverbs 20:9; Ecclesiastes 7:20; and I John 1:810) (b) No. True Christians cannot possibly sin, because they are the children of God. “Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, (I John 5:1). “We should be called children of God; and so we are” (I John 3: 1). “He who loves is born of God” (I John 4:7). “No one born of God commits sin; for God’s nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God” (I John 3:9). But, then again, Yes! “If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (I John 1:Cool Does God change his mind? (a) Yes. “The word of the Lord came to Samuel: “I repent that I have made Saul King, ” (I Samuel 15:10 to 11) (b) No. God “will not lie or repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent” (I Samuel 15:29) (c) Yes again. “And the Lord repented that he had made Saul King over Israel” (I Samuel 15:35). Notice that the above three quotes are all from the same chapter of the same book! In addition, the Bible shows that God repented on several other occasions: “The Lord was sorry that he made man” (Genesis 6:6) “I am sorry that I have made them” (Genesis 6:7) “And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do to his people” (Exodus 32:14). Did Judas kiss Jesus? (a) Yes (Matthew 26:48-50) (b) No. Judas could not get close enough to Jesus to kiss him (John 18:3-12) Did Jesus bear his own cross? (a) Yes (John 19:17) (b) No (Matthew 27:31-32) Where was Jesus at the sixth hour on the day of the crucifixion? (a) On the cross (Mark 15:23) (b) In Pilate’s court (John 19:14) Did Jesus ascend to Paradise the same day of the crucifixion? (a) Yes. He said to the thief who defended him, “Today you will be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43) (b) No. He said to Mary Magdelene two days later, “I have not yet ascended to the Father” (John 20:17) How did Judas die? (a) After he threw the money into the temple he went away and hanged himself (Matthew 27:5) (b) After he bought the field with the price of his evil deed he fell headlong and burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out (Acts 1:18) Who was the father of Joseph, husband of Mary? (a) Jacob (Matthew 1:16) (b) Heli (Luke 3:23) Jesus descended from which son of David? (a) Solomon (Matthew 1:6) (b) Nathan(Luke3:31) Which son of Zerubbabel was an ancestor of Jesus Christ? (a) Abiud (Matthew 1: 13) (b) Rhesa (Luke 3:27) But the seven sons of Zerubbabel are as follows: i.Meshullam, ii. Hananiah, iii. Hashubah, iv. Ohel, v.Berechiah, vi. Hasadiah, viii. Jushabhesed (I Chronicles 3:19, 20). The names Abiud and Rhesa do not fit in anyway. What was the exact wording on the cross? (a) “This is Jesus the King of the Jews” (Matthew 27:37) (b) “The King of the Jews” (Mark 15:26) (c) “This is the King of the Jews” (Luke 23:38) (d) “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews” (John 19:19) Who was the tenth disciple of Jesus in the list of twelve? (a) Thaddaeus (Matthew 10: 1-4; Mark 3:13 -19) (b) Judas son of James is the corresponding name in Luke’s gospel (Luke 6:12-16) How did Simon Peter find out that Jesus was the Christ? (a) By a revelation from heaven (Matthew 16:17) (b) His brother Andrew told him (John 1:41) Where did Jesus first meet Simon Peter and Andrew? (a) By the sea of Galilee (Matthew 4:18-22) (b) On the banks of river Jordan (John 1:42). After that, Jesus decided to go to Galilee (John 1:43) Did Jesus pray to The Father to prevent the crucifixion? (a) Yes. (Matthew 26:39; Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42) (b) No. (John 12:27) According to the gospels, what were the last words of Jesus before he died? (a) “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!” (Luke 23:46) (b) "It is finished" (John 19:30). Apart from Jesus did anyone else ascend to heaven? (a) No (John 3:13) (b) Yes. “And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven” (2 Kings 2:11) According to the Gospel of John, what did Jesus say about bearing his own witness? (a) “If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true” (John 5:3 1) (b) “Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true” (John 8:14) When Jesus entered Jerusalem did he cleanse the temple that same day? (a) Yes (Matthew 21:12) (b) No. He went into the temple and looked around, but since it was very late he did nothing. Instead, he went to Bethany to spend the night and returned the next morning to cleanse the temple (Mark I 1:1- 17). Was John the Baptist Elijah who was to come? (a) Yes (Matthew II: 14, 17:10-13) (b) No(John 1:19-21) What was the name of King Abijah’s mother? (a) Michaiah, daughter of Uriel of Gibeah (2 Chronicles 13:2) (b) Maachah, daughter of Absalom (2 Chronicles 11:20) But Absalom had only one daughter whose name was Tamar (2 Samuel 14:27)
