Anyone know of any awesome books!?!?
Here are some of my favorite teen and some adult-ish novels:





Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It's about a girl named Bella who moves to Forks, Washington and runs into a group of vampires. VERY VERY good! I REALLY think you should give it a chance because I'm not into vampire stuff, but it was AMAZING!

Pants On Fire by Meg Cabot. It's about a girl who basically has everything (popular best friend, good grades... and TWO boyfriends.) It's really funny because then her friend from eighth grade come back to town (everyone hates him) and she falls head over heals for him too.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares. It's about four girls who where born as friends. They go through ups and downs together.





The Last Summer (Of You and Me) by Ann Brashares was amazing. It may be more of an adult book, but it was fairly good.





All-American Girl and All-American Girl Ready Or Not by Meg Cabot. It's about an outcast girl who happens to save the presidents life. Suddenly everyone at school wants to be her friend, but she doesn't really care... What she does care about is the presidents son...





Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot. It's about a girl who goes over seas with her boyfriend after (almost!) finishing college. After a bad break up with him, she goes with her friend and runs into someone.... It's a very good adult book!





How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot. It's about a girl who comes across an old book in her grandma'a attic called how to be popular. So, she follows the rules of the book hoping to become popular.





Jinx by Meg Cabot. If you liked Twilight, then you'll like this book. It's about a girl who has bad luck all the time so she moves in with her aunt and uncle. He sister is into witchcraft and I don't want to spoil the rest, but it fairly good.





Teen Idol by Meg Cabot. This is about a girl who has an advice column in her school newspaper. So, when a famous actor comes to her school and she's the only one who knows about it, chaos occurs!





Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen is also pretty good. It's about two girls that are best friends who are having a few issues in the love department.

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen is one of my favorites! It's about a girl who had something terrible happen to her and she's learning how to cope with it and befriends an outcast boy.





The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. I've only read the first two, but they are VERY good. It's about a girl named Suze who moves to California from New York because her mother just remarried. Oh, and Suze can see ghosts...





13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. It's about a guy named Clay who gets these tapes in the mail about why a girl named Hannah killed herself. It's very good and a great page-turner!

She Went All The Way by Meg Cabot. This is a book for more mature people, but it's very good. It's about two people who get stranded in the wilderness.





Forever... by Judy Bloom is also pretty good. It's about a girl getting a boyfriend and going through sensual things. It's a little mature.





Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is okay. My friends LOVED it! I don't wanna tell you what it's about because it'll just give it all away.





The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It's about how these things called souls invade Earth, as well as humans. It's based on a soul named Wanda who is placed into Melanie, who refuses to fade away like she's suppose too. It's very interesting and I totally recommend it!

Good luck with finding a book! I hope these help!

Reply:Read "The Kite Runner" you won't be able to put it down, I loved it.
Reply:Boy Meets Boy, it's about this boy who falls in love with a boy. :-) It's by David Levithan and it's really good, and it's not like criticising or saying that homosexuality is OK. :-)
Reply:Depending on what you like....





I like Christopher Paolini and Dean Koontz. They are incredible authors that are creative and that have an uncanny talent for writing fiction.





Paolini's third book of his Eragon series should be comming out this fall... I'm waiting so impatiently.
Reply:Well, I have 2 words for you.


HARRY POTTER=]
Reply:I'm a huge Stephen King fan. At the moment I'm reading The Talisman by Stephen King %26amp; Peter Straub. So far it's awesome. It's probably more fantasy but it is still horror.
Reply:Hmm, how old are you? I had some favorites when I was in high school--actually, they're still favorites even though I'm almost 23. :)





Young Adult:





"Name Me Nobody"





NMN, is set in Hawai'i and follows a chubby girl who loses weight and starts dating; but it deals with fidelity; abandonment (by parents); homosexuality; rape; etc.--one of my all-time favorite books.





Definitely not a sugary, feel-good teen read, but I think it's more worthwhile because it's realistic.





_________________________





"Curtis Piperfield's Biggest Fan" and the sequel, "Lucky Me."





I liked the second one more than the first, but both are good. They're about a teen girl, C.C., who starts dating and has to deal with all of the complications that come along with being a teenager. There's some great poetry in there that really inspired me as a teen.

"Adult" novels:





"The Red Tent"





Not sure if you're into Biblical-based books (I'm usually not), but this one is amazing. It's about the story of Dinah. In the Bible, she gets raped by a prince and her brothers destroy the city/kingdom. The book stretches out the story to about 300 pages. I cried when I read this book--and I NEVER cry.





____________________





"Love"





Toni Morrison. Need I say more?





____________________





"The Dew-Breaker"





I'm an English major and I found this kinda tough, but it's still completely worthwhile. Go read a wikipedia history of Haiti and you'll appreciate it even more.
Reply:I agree with pinktea that you should read The Kite Runner. I haven't read the book yet but I've already watched the movie and I loved it! The book should be good too and there are many positive reviews on it.





Hmm, if you're looking for fantastic books that'll keep you glued to it, try reading the many book blogs on the Internet. I have one too, if you'd like to visit it. That's where I write my book reviews. Here's the link: http://www.booksloveme.com/

1. The True Story of Lilli Stubeck by James Aldridge


2. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon


3. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer


4. A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

Reply:"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck; warm, witty, even profound.

Reply:Well, it really depends on your interests and patience. That is a major factor in finding a book that's awesome for you. If you like adventurous and fast paced try Harry Potter, but if that's getting old, try the Lightning Thief, Artemis Fowl, or The Sisters Grimm. If you like a book with an interesting plot try Maneater. These next books are very good, but only if your patient; Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, The Other Boleyn Girl, Pride and Prejudice, and Thanks to my Mother. Just plain out good books are: The Cinderella Pact, Wish Upon a Star, and Montmorency.
