The Bookshelf is a new content section on Veritaserum which will highlight and promote other, non-Harry Potter books that we think Harry Potter fans might like. Here's how it works: Veritaserum will publish a number of reviews in The Bookshelf section. After reading the review or after reading the reviewed book, you can come to that book's thread here in the forums to discuss it. Or, if you're just considering reading it, you can use the thread to find out whether or not you would enjoy it.
If you'd like, you can also submit your own book reviews. Just e-mail Matthew Heck through the feedback form for more information.
Use this thread to let us know which books you'd like us to review next. They can be absolutely anything. They don't have to be at all related to Harry Potter. Feel free to suggest books ranging from His Dark Materials to The Audacity of Hope -- there's something in a book for everyone!

You should review the Maximum Ride by James Patterson. So far there are three: The Angel Experiment, Schools Out-Forever, and Saving the World and other Extreame Sports. They're really good.

Yeah me first post lol!
I love those books! Anyways, another series is Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The second is called New Moon, third, Eclipse. These are more for girls, honestly. And they're good, too, especially because she's going to write a lot of them. They have vampires in them too. So that makes them even more appealing.

Oooh, that sounds good!
I know none of you really asocciate with the deaf, but the book "Deaf Child Crossing" is a super book. It is written by Marlee Matlin, and she's completly deaf. If anyone here want's to understand the pain of being deaf, here's the book. I am deaf myself.

That really sounds interesting. I think I might read it. I like seeing things from other's perspectives. And I swear I don't mean to be insensitive, but I honestly think you're lucky. And I just thought of something, you should write a book!!
___________________ Books by Sarah Dessen are really good too. There isn't a series. A few are This Lullabye, The truth about forever, Dreamland, and Just Listen and there's more. They're also for girls, in my opinion. But they're really good! Every character is so different, it's unbelievable that the same author wrote them. It's great. The characters have so many deminsions, it's as if it's your best friend thats telling the story. And the story's so different. It never feels like you're reading another book of hers.

Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. Gotta love this book. Many of you may have seen the film with Keira Knightley, but it's not very true to the book. The BBC-series, though, are much better. But still it's nothing like reading the book at all. This book is... magic.

I'm in the middle of the first one. So far its excellent!
Has anyone ever read The Clique series by Lisi Harrison? These are for girls but they are SO GOOD! Same with Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares. Really good and deep, if you like books about friendship. I just finished a really great book called Waves by Sharon Dogar. It's really deep and mysterious, plus romantic (I love romance books!). You guys should try it. Well, girls.
For guys, well, Eragon. I know, everyone's read it probably, but thats basically the only book I've read for guys.
OOH, I tried reading The Da Vinci Code, but I got confused. So I watched the movie, and it was one of the best I've ever watched!

Oh yess amazing book, absolutely loved it. I watched the film when it came out, but it was nowhere near as good as the book. I love classics... Jane Austen is just an amazing author.

Ahh!! I need the second book! I absolutely LOVED Twilight. Stephanie Meyer is a COMPLETE genius. It probably comes second after Harry Potter, it was so good. And I would totally date Edward Cullen!

Some of these books sound really interesting. I might try and read them someday.
One book I love is called Melissa, Queen of Evil written by Mardi Mcconnochie and a sequel is due to be released. I also like the Faraway Tree series by Enid Blyton
