I need some help finding a book. sweatdrop

I was talking to my hairdresser once while she was cutting my hair and she started talking about a book that I thought sounded interesting. She didn't say much about the storyline but I remember her talking about a kind of suicide theatre. She said that when you get really old you go there and I guess you sit down and start watching a movie then you die. She mentioned something about Soylent Green so I looked that up on wikipedia and it took me too a movie which it said was based on the book Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison.

I don't know if that's the book I'm looking for though, can someone help please?

The theater sounds like the movie Logan's Run (which Wikipedia says was based on a novel of the same name). Soylent Green I only know as a movie. ("Soylent Green is people!")

Alright, thanks. Next time I get my hair cut I'll ask her about it since I'm obviously confised. (I already knew that but thanks for the heads up anyway. x3)

I'm looking for another book I read in eigth grade. It was written in first person perspective and the narrator and main character of the book was a girl who's mother was running for president and won. There was also a sequel to it when the girl was kidnapped, don't know much about the sequel, I was only able to get through the first couple of chapters.

I read this book a looooong time ago, so the details are rough and may not be right.

I believe it's about a girl and her family (set back when people used horses and buggies to get around) who own a horse or horses. They move to a cabin far from their home because of something. ( I'm so sorry, I can't remember!)

Her brother, or somebody related to her gets bitten by a rattlesnake and I think they have to have a doctor come to help him.

I remember reading about a horse.. her horse, getting out during a storm or something and then getting stuck in... gah, what was it?! Any who, the horse is suffering so it had to be put down by her father. She's terribly sad.

Sorry for the horrible description! It's all I could remember... but I'd love to find the book again. I think I read it when I was in elementary school.

I have another book, I know more about this one because it was really good!

It's about this girl who died on the fourth of July because her younger brother(or sister.. can't remember) had lit a firecracker and she tried to get it away from him before it exploded.

She became a ghost in the house, her family moved because they couldn't handle the tragedy of losing their daughter. Another family moves in and they have a daughter who took the girls old room. The ghost gets very mad and messes up the living girls stuff whenever she can.

One day the girl and her friend try to talk to the ghost through something like a board I think, and she finally can talk.

After a while, they locate the dead girls sister (or brother, again, can't remember) who is now fifty or older.

And that's all I can remember.

I heard about these books when my dad's friend came for dinner. XD I remember very little of what he said.

I'm pretty sure it's a series of books. They're about these 'book spies'- spies who go into the books. They're supposed to be funny. The author's last name begins with "Ff" and ends in 'e'.

I could be wrong about the specific author info, though. And I could be wrong about it being a series of books. I know this isn't much information to go off of, sorry. XD

There was a book I had when I was younger that I never gave a chance. This is extraordinarily vague, because I'm not even sure just what it was about, but it's been bugging me for the longest time.

The book was aimed at younger readers, and was (I think) about a girl who enjoys art, and loves drawing animals. Now, either the pictures she drew or some kind of statues came to life at night. I also think she just moved into an old, creepy house.
I want to say the animals that were mentioned were a lioness and a bear.

Sorry for the terrible description, but it's all I can remember.

I spent so much time trying to get back to this account hoping someone had added to this thread. The book that is currently driving me crazy isn't even the one I put here originally. XD Now that other one is gonna be stuck in my head as well.

I know this will sort of "revive" a dead thread but feel free to let it die again. xd
