Any recommendations on good teen books to read!!! {NOT TWILIGHT}?

Question

I LOVE to read and I'm having trouble finding books that i want to read :) I tend to read books that haven't made the best sellers list...yes, i read Twilight way back when people thought you were crazy when you said you wanted to marry a vampire x] I liked Impulse and Crank... I have pretty much read every vampire book ever written, and i don't have much of a preference, so any good books you read lately that you'd like to suggest??

Thanx in advance! x] Have a nice night...

Answer 8

I loved twilight and vampire books, here are some others that I liked, they are of all differern genres and stuff.

The amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud(The first book of the Bartimaeus trilogy)  is confusing at first but if a great book about a different kind of magic than whats normally in books. I loved it soo much it has hilarious sarcastic humor if you like that kind of thing! Official description:

Nathaniel is a young magician’s apprentice, taking his first lessons in the arts of magic. But when a devious hotshot wizard named Simon Lovelace ruthlessly humiliates Nathaniel in front of everyone he knows, Nathaniel decides to kick up his education a few notches and show Lovelace who’s boss. With revenge on his mind, he masters one of the toughest spells of all: summoning the all-powerful djinni, Bartimaeus. But summoning Bartimaeus and controlling him are two different things entirely, and when Nathaniel sends the djinni out to steal the powerful Amulet of Samarkand, Nathaniel finds himself caught up in a whirlwind of magical espionage, murder, blackmail, and revolt. Set in a modern-day London spiced with magicians and mayhem, this extraordinary, funny, pitch-perfect thriller will dazzle the myriad fans of Artemis Fowl and the His Dark Materials trilogy.

Secrets of my Hollywood life by Jen Calonita, its about a movie star who gets tired of her busy life and needs a break, its funny. Official description: What if... Your picture was taped inside lockers across America, your closets were bursting with designer clothing, and the tabloids constantly asked whether you were losing your "good girl" status? It's a glamorous life, but Kaitlin Burke, co-star of one of the hottest shows on TV, is exhausted from the pressures of her fame. So she decides to spend a few months undercover as an ordinary high school student. But could it be that real-life high school is just as harsh as cutthroat Hollywood...?

The clique by Lisi Harrison official description thingey:

Meet the seventh grade A-listers: Dylan Marvil, Kristen Gregory, Alicia Rivera, and the one and only Massie Block, the uncontested ruler of The Clique. On the surface, these girls are filthy rich, utterly gorgeous, snotty to the max, and unbelievably spoiled. They're also down-and-dirty cruel to anyone who bothers them. Enter Claire Lyons, a total outsider who is temporarily living in Massie's guesthouse. She yearns to be part of the group even though she's not wealthy, gorgeous, snotty, or spoiled.

Kiss and blog is about two girls who have been friends forever, but then one gets really popular and the other is out for revenge and posts all of her friends secrets on a blog which becomes popular. Its by Alyson Noel. The official description is:

as freshmen at Ocean High last year, Winter and her best friend Sloane thought they could ditch their nerdy past, launching from invisible to cool. So after another miserable year of standing on the social sidelines they make a pact to do whatever it takes not to go unnoticed in their sophomore year, promising each other that whoever makes it into the cool group first will bring the other along.

But once Sloane gets a taste of life on the A-list, she ditches Winter without so much as a second thought. Suddenly cast out of her former best friend's life, Winter takes revenge the modern way: by announcing all of Sloane's dirty little secrets on an anonymous blog. When the blog becomes more popular than she ever dreamed, Winter is left to decide if her retaliation is really worth the consequences—and if the price for popularity is one she's willing to pay.

Perfect by Natasha friend, and its a more sad down to earth quick book about a bulimic girl, its very good. Same with lush, also by Natasha friend, its about a girl who’s dad drinks, and she has to go through all that. All of Natasha Friends books are good and down to earth and relatively quick.

I’d tell you I love you but then I’d have to kill you by ally carter is really good, heres the official description:

The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women is a fairly typical all-girls’ school -- that is, if every school taught advanced martial arts in PE, the latest in chemical warfare in science; and students received extra credit for breaking CIA codes computer class. So in truth, Gallagher Academy might claim to be a school for geniuses -- but it’s really a school for spies.

Cammie Morgan is a second generation Gallagher Girl, and by her sophomore year she’s already fluent in fourteen languages and capable of killing a man in seven different ways (three of which involve a piece of uncooked spaghetti). But the one thing the Gallagher Academy hasn’t prepared her for is what to do when she falls for an ordinary boy who thinks she’s an ordinary girl.

Sure, she can tap his phone, hack into his computer, and track him through a mall without his ever being the wiser, but can she have a regular relationship with a regular boy who can
