Answer 1

K ever heard of Jodi Picoult? Hers are good

Answer 2

Depends what kind of book you're looking for.

Animal books I like are:

Promise of the Wolves by Dorothy Hearst. It's got a great storyline and I got into it straight away.

There are two (I think) good series about cats (first series is called Warriors, by Erin Hunter.)

I read a book a couple of months ago called The Cats. It wasn't very long but it was interesting.

A trilogy I like (although the third book is still being written I think) is Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke. They are about people who come out of a book, into the real world. Yay.

A sad book about the Viet Nam war is Message From Nam by Danielle Steel. It's fictional and I guess you could say it's a romance novel.

I am writing stories also. Maybe someday I can say read mine =]

Hope this helps on your quest for good books

Answer 3

Finding Alice by Melody Carlson is a great book.

I don't usually like 'real' fiction. I'm more of a fantasy person. However, this book I find is just amazing. It's about a schizophrenic named Alice, and her dealing with it. It goes through her becoming schizophrenic, to being placed in mental institution, to living on the streets, to eventually finding hope and all. And throughout the whole book she compares her schizophrenia to Alice in Wonderland. It is a really good, eye opening book. I liked it.

Answer 4

The Adoration of Jenna Fox - Mary E. Pearson

It's amazing!! =]

description: Seventeen-year-old Jenna has been told that is her name. She has just awoken from a year-long coma, and she’s still recovering from the terrible accident that caused it. Her parents show her home movies of her life, her memories, but she has no recollection. Is she really the same girl she sees on the screen?

Little by little, Jenna begins to remember. But along with the memories come questions --- questions no one wants to answer for her. What really happened after the accident?

except: I look at my fingers again, the ones that trembled and shook just a few days ago at Mr. Bender’s kitchen table. I bring them together, fingertip to fingertip, like a steeple. Each one perfect by appearance. But something is not…right. Something that I still have no word for. It is a dull twisting that snakes through me. Is this a tangled feeling that everyone my age feels? Or is it different?  Am I different?  I slide my steepled fingers, slowly, watching them interlace. Trying to interlace, like a clutched desperate prayer, but again, I feel like the hands I am lacing are not my own, like I have borrowed them from a twelve-fingered monster. And yet, when I count them, yes, there are ten. Ten exquisitely perfect, beautiful fingers.

It's soo soo good!! read it!!

Answer 5

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It's about a girl who falls in love with a vampire. It's really good, because even though he's dead, he still cares about her and they are passionately in love no matter how different they are, and nothing/nobody can change that. They love eachother no matter what. If you want to know more about the book, here's the blurb on the back of the book:

About three things I was absolutely positive.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him - and I didn't know how dominant that part might be - that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks, and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret.

What Bella doesn't realize is that the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And it might be too late to turn back...

Deeply seductive, and irresistibly compelling, the book 'Twilight' is an extraordinary love story that will stay with you long after you have turned the final page

Answer 6

"Silk" by Alessandro Barrico - the language and the story are simple but hauntingly beautiful.

"Beginner's Greek" by James Collins - a sweet story about love at first sight but the hard work it takes to reach a happy ending.

"Gods Behaving Badly" by Marie Phillips - what if the Greek gods were still alive in contemporary England? They would cause trouble, of course.

Answer 7

Where to begin?!?!

Okay, my favorite book is called The Water Stone by Rebecca Rupp. Its not heavy reading, but its fun.

Twilight series, Harry Potter series, Inkheart Series, his Dark Materials Series, Pendragon Series, Inheritance Series (Eragon), Chronicles of Narnia-all series, all good.

single books-East, The Sight, The Waterstone, Golden Compass(his dark materials), Green Rider, First Rider's Call, Where The Heart Is, any Shakespear play (Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, etc), Phantom of the Opera, The Girl in Blue, The Naming.

Have fun.
