Any good reads out there?

Question

I love to read, but recently it seems I'm running out of books to read. I like books with romance, but recently I've been wanting something more friendship based. I like fantasy allot. Any amount of pages is fine. Series are great too. I like first person narration, but any narration style is fine.

I've read:

Twilight Saga

The Host

Wicked

Gemma Doyle trilogy

To Kill a Mockingbird

The Outsiders

Harry Potter

When I was younger I liked the Magic Tree House series.

Some books I'm planning on reading (due too suggestions from friends) are:

Pride and Prejudice

Wuthering Heights

Lovely Bones

Answer 1

There is a series called "The Guardians of Time" Trilogy".  It's a narrative series as well - it's by Marianne Curly(sp? on author's name)

The 1st - The Named, 2nd - The Dark, 3rd - The Key

It's a high school drama/scifi story and it's really good.

Hope you find some good books though.

Answer 2

Try these:

* "The Undomestic Goddess" by Sophie Kinsella

* Anything by Ray Bradbury or Madeleine L'Engle

* The short-story anthology series "Isaac Asimov's Magical Worlds of Fantasy," edited by Isaac Asimov, Martin H. Greenberg and Charles G. Waugh

Answer 4

Sounds like you just love fantasy/romance type of stories, like me! I am not sure if you tried it or not, but reading japanese comic books, or manga as they are widely known as, are actually very good things to read.

If you want to give it a try, I reccamend reading Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya and Vampire Knight by Matsuri Hino.

You read these a little bit differently, starting from the very top right hand corner and then across. If you purchase these manga at a bookstore, it'll probably explain how to read it in the back of the book.

Now, if you want to stick to books, (which are awesome), here are some really good books that I love:

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

The True Confessions of Charolette Doyle by Avi

Blue Bloods by Melissa De la Cruz (there is another is the series)

Daughters of the Moon series by Lynne Ewing

Dragon's Keep by Janet Lee Carey

The Sight by David Clement-Davies

The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale (there are some follow up to the series)

Princess Academy by Shannon Hale

The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke
