OOH CLASSICS! I just finished Needful Things by Stephen King and now I'm reading the Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker [recommended by my ext teacher]. It's super duper heavy.. I'm surprised she recommended it, tbh! How are you liking the secret history?are you reading any currently? i'm currently reading the secret history by donna tartt![]()

yeah sure!! i've wanted to do ext 2 since year 7, I've been so excited for it. i feel like i'm at like complete odds with the rest of the bos community!!Damn extension english 2?? Can you share what you're writing about?

Although I am not the biggest reader (in comparison to what you two seem to be.god on my list of what to not trust tiktok for, books is absolutely one of them![]()
. but i'll recommend my two favourite books ever - the midnight library by matt haig (+if you liked that, how to stop time was also very good, by the same author) and good omens by neil gaiman and terry pratchett. i like historical fiction, if you're into that you should check out fatherland by robert harris (alternate history detective novel on germany post-ww2 had they won), it's a detective thriller and starts off with a murder that branches out into a much bigger conspiracy, it was really good.
have you got any recommendations? i really want to read a ton before school starts, i miss reading a lot![]()
i can deal with books being $20 or so (i used to only buy books from big w or target when i was younger, those were around $12-$16, but all the good books i want are much higher than that (one book i wanted was $35...hot book taste
but why are books so expensive![]()
i read the first book (the trials of morrigan crow i think???) a few years ago and i have it at home, i think i'll reread it again, i never went past the first book so let's see if that'll changeAlthough I am not the biggest reader (in comparison to what you two seem to be.
I do like the 'Nevermoor' series by Jessica Townsend, don't know if you've heard of it
thank you omg!!! if i do okay i might upload it to bos. yeah choosing subjects is stressful, i'm really enjoying it so far. the objective thing is definitely a worry but i do a lot of history and english which can have similar issues so i'm sort of used to itWow.. I would love to read it, it sounds fascinating!
And yes, I'm thinking of ext.2 but I'm not sure what to do because interpretation is subjective; one marker may like and the other mightn't. And there's so many options
AHHHH![]()
I get you! If you post it I'll defo give it a read.. I'm sure you'll do great, don't stress !!thank you omg!!! if i do okay i might upload it to bos. yeah choosing subjects is stressful, i'm really enjoying it so far. the objective thing is definitely a worry but i do a lot of history and english which can have similar issues so i'm sort of used to it
I would be extremely grateful if you could, I really want to do both. Thank you soooooooooo much!!!! <3tysm!!! i'll see how i go - i can keep you updated with the process and the marking and stuff if you're considering it? same with history extension, i can let you know what that's like because it seems like you're thinking about it??

OOhh I don't read many from magical realism.. have you read Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami?oh same i try to read broad as well - any genre is fine actually, but lately i've been getting into actually interesting thriller mysteries and magical realism
i watched the woman in the window on netflix, though it was kinda mid even though it had an interesting premise, never knew it was a book. i'll check it out. i've been planning to read kafka on the shore since i read norwegian wood by the same author which i also liked, but i forgot about it whoops... thanks for the recommendations!OOhh I don't read many from magical realism.. have you read Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami?
Otherwise some good thrillers/psychological thrillers [I like the latter the most, to be honest]
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Dream Town by David Baldacci
Dead Zone by Stephen King
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
Verity by Colleen Hoover
A World of Curiosities by Louise Penny
The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn
Most of these are available online as free PDF's on sites like zlibrary and pdfdrive (books can be so expensive tsk tsk). Let me know if you get around to reading them!! Hope you enjoy them, I know I did!!![]()

i miss zlibraryi know it's still available on tor but i haven't gotten the browser yet... rest in peace to the best book site i could ever ask for
It's just another search engine, like google chrome or safari. If you type in something like 'tor browser' it should come up and give a way to download.what’s tor and how do i access it? zlibrary was where i got all my textbooks from
