Can you recommend me some amazing, engrossing books?

Question

I LOVE historical fiction with a little bit of romance, mystery, and fantasy.

Examples of books I have loved:

100 Years of Solitude

Twilight (the series)

Rebecca

The books don't necessarily have to be life altering (as you can see by the fact that I loved Twilight), but I really want them to keep my attention and not make me want to put them down.

Thanks!!
