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:Have you read Bret Easton Ellis's The Informers? A superior version of a vampire story to Twilight.





Try it.
Reply:OMG I LOVe THE TWILIGHT SERIES TOO!!! THE BEST BOOKS EVER, DON'T U THINK???????
Reply:Oh, okay. For fantasy books try the Blue Bloods series by Melissa de la Cruz. It's a vampire novel that is completly different from Twilight, but still very captivating. Also, anything by Scott Westerfeld (Midnighters, Uglies, Peeps, etc). His books are absolutely addicting!





For non-fantasy, but still really good, try 'Getting the Girl' by Markus Zusak. It is super romantic, without being too gushy-gusy, but still very interesting. I fell in love with it!
Reply:Brian Jacques's series called "Redwall". I also recommend anything by Vladimir Nabokov...particularly "Lolita".
Reply:Ender's Game? seems up your alley 'cause it is science fiction and that is the longest series of books i know of





g'luck
Reply:It depends on what kind of book genre you want. If your looking for tragedy/romance novels:





Nicolas Sparks. Awesome and mature books like: The Notebook (tis a movie), A Walk to Remember (yet another movie), Dear John, True Believe, At First Sight (sequal)





Mystery or Horror:





R.L. Stein. Sort of an easier read, but they're defiantely still creepy. Books like: Truth or Dare, or The Nightmare Room.





There's this one book, that's a bit like Harry Potter. It's called Star Sun: Dawn of the Two. The plot is a little like HP, but also pretty different. Suggested to people who really like Harry Potter.





I'm pretty sure they're coming out with a sequal. I hope I helped you out... I'm sure you'll find some good books!
