The Skeleton Detective

Today I had to take the day off because I was so sleep deprived. For the past 4 weeks, I've either had finals, or a massive homework. I haven't been able to exercise, write (one of my favorite hobbies), play my violin, and I've also had to quit drama club because I didn't attend any meetings due to homework. I get home at 3, and I work until 11. I feel like I'm going insane. I haven't felt any emotion but anger and fear for a couple weeks now, my friends have commented on me becoming anti-social, and I also haven't felt hungry enough for dinner in days. I feel like I'm going mad. Most of my friends don't have this problem, but they also maintain B's and C's rather than A's and a few B's.

What should I do?

So my favorite book series of all time has ended. I don't know what to do with myself anymore, and need another book series to read. Problem is, I don't know what.

I love the books:

Skulduggery Pleasant (my all time favorite series hence the avatar) by Derek Landy

Harry Potter

Tunnels by Roderick Gordon

Bartimaeus series by Jonathan Stroud (and his other series Lockwood and Co. is good so far)

Malice by Chris Wooding (and anything else by him...)

Sherlock Holmes

Frankenstein

Virals series by Kathy Reichs

Anything by Neil Gaiman

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

The Ascendance trilogy by Jennifer Nielsen

I didn't like:

Twlight (who does)

Hunger Games

LOTR (it's boring. sorry)

Divergent

Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children

The Ranger's Apprentice

Alex Rider

Mortal Instruments

Eragon

Books with wit, good writing, action (lots of it), awesome characters (no Mary Sue's please, and if the characters are only good as in likable but maybe static or not as round as they should be there better be some really awesome world building, scares, and action), fantasy and sic-fi would be appreciated. I'll read horror provided it's ACTUALLY SCARY (and I am hard to please in that), and I'm open to anything in the children's and adult's section (as long as it's appropriate for a 15 year-old), but am a bit skeptical about the YA section because all it seems to be is hormones and elementary school level writing. Anything funny works too.

Nutella on bacon, tis the food of the gods.

We are assuming that the glasses are actually good for the face shape.

Why?

BQ: what's the most awesome thing you've ever built using legos/minecraft?

Just curious. I think they're awesome, but I'm getting kind of sick of Best Day of My Life because they play it on the radio so often.

How hard was the trail, and how long was it? Was it fun?

I'm so bored and don't know what to do with my self!

All my friends are on vacation.

It's 90F and way to hot to go outside. Otherwise I'd be riding a skateboard.

I can't think of anything to write as I cannot think of anything creative and my life is too boring to even try writing about (which I have done and stared at a blank page for an hour).

My parents are trying to move into a larger house and our house now has been staged and cleaned. No mess is aloud. Therefor, no art beyond paper and pencil and I don't know what to draw.

No nail polish aloud either.

I don't want to read.

My brother is at a friends house.

The only video games around are Wii sports, Super mario smash bros., and Lego Star Wars which I hate.

There's nothing on TV I checked.

I'm too young to drive.

The Spring Cleaning is done.

I have been forbidden to have any games on my computer.

Have I eliminated all possibilities of entertainment? Or is there actually something fun that I could do?

any sort of fight. War, argument, fistfight…

Why?

FANTASY/SciFi VERSUS

Who would win in a battle? Characters are both allowed to keep their signature weapons.

Gandalf vs Dumbledore (yeah good luck)

Draco Malfoy vs Jace

Harry Potter vs Percy Jackson

Frodo Baggins vs Lucy

Katniss vs Hermione

Aragorn vs Sirius Black

Legolas vs Merida

Voldemort vs Darth Sidious

Samewise Gamgee vs Ron Weasley

Mulan vs Aragorn

Lupin vs Edward Cullen

Jacob Black vs Jack Skellington

meaning it as a complement, but it sounded like, or the person took it as an insult.

ex: My friend and I were preparing to play in an orchestra competition, and wearing our concert attire (food length black dresses). Mine did a really good job of outlining my hourglass shape, but I thought it was a little weird to see the outline hip bone because I have been wearing jeans for the past 6 months. I mentioned that I feel almost too thin wearing it (because I wasn't used to seeing that) and she says, "Oh don't worry about that, you're definitely NOT too thin." Awkward silence ensued.

I'm 14 but have a very high reading level. Lately I've been scouring the YA section for some decent books but am getting really sick of it because it's all written at a 4-6th grade level (vocabulary and story-telling I mean). I'm trying to find some good adult fantasy, action/adventure, mystery books but I don't know which ones are "appropriate" for me to read yet. Any suggestions?

PS: Dresden files looked interesting. What age would you recommend for someone to read it?

I need something exciting to read, but I can't find anything that seems good enough!

I loved Skulduggery Pleasant, Tunnels, Harry Potter, anything by Chris Wooding, The False Prince... Basically, I want to read something with lots of suspense, action, adventure, and hopefully fantasy (or at least a medieval or steampunk flare).

I've already read Gregor the overlander, Percy Jackson, Alex Rider, Treasure Island, The Hunchback assignments, Artemis Fowl, LOTR, Sherlock Holmes (oh yes I like mysteries), and those are the ones I've read recently.

Please do NOT suggest anything like Twilight, the perks of being a wallflower (I have to be in a certain mood to enjoy those), or Hunger Games.

Thanks in advance.

I find the terms bromance, Lol, and hipster annoying.

BQ: what's you favorite kind and what's your favorite doughnut shop?

Do/did you have an emotional attachment to any of your childhood toys? Not like a major one, but I mean as in you keep it around because you have so many memories with it.

What are you favorites

Besides black cats, bats, a raven, ghosts, and a spooky looking oak tree. No wise-guy answers like gravestones.

I need a book to read (I don't care if it's a written chapter book or manga) it must be exciting, suspenseful, have action, and hopefully some dark humor. Age range: 12-16. Thankyou.
