I need a really good read!?

Question

I'm looking for new books again....as usual and i was hoping that anyone could please answer! I'm 14 and i like pretty much anything as long as it's a good book, but i will narrow it down for you if it makes that easier, book genre's i like are:

-Fantasy/Fiction

-Mystery

-Horror/Scary/etc.

-'young adults'

-Romance (for teens)

-Mystical

etc.

(if it helps i like books like, Blue is for nightmares series, Twilight, Lucky T, Vampire Kisses, Blue Bloods, A Great and Terrible Beauty, NightWorld, House of Night Series, Breathe,Forever....,etc.)

Also, if you could please add a little detail on the book, that would be very much appreciated but it's not mandatory, Thankyou so much!

* One more thing, if you could please NOT tell me about:

-Harry Potter Series.

-Twilight Saga.

-Any Meg Cabot Books.

-None of the 'City of Ashes' books.

etc.

Because I have read the harry potter, twilight, city of ashes books and i'm not really into meg cabot's books, i can't get into them right away and i like books that i can get right into as soon as i start reading.

Thanks again! :)

Answer 2

um...

you tried The host by Stephenie Meyer?

Answer 3

Tantalize is a good book, related to vampire werewolf stuff with a good heroine. It is entertaining.

Answer 4

I enjoy reading all sorts of genres and have for as long as I can remember. I always suggest two classics for anyone asking - "Pride and Prejudice"  by Jane Austen. It is a romance and a comedy, one of the best novels ever written. In all the times I have suggested it, no one has ever been disappointed. Another great classic is "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, another romance, that is a bit gothic. These are more "grown up" novels than teenage, but I read them when I was 18 and enjoyed them immensely. I also loved "The Green Mile" by Stephen King, long but beautiful, one of his best.

Answer 5

Why don't go back in time a bit and read Gone with the Wind.  It has everything.  Love, sorrow, strength, victory and loss.  Another oldie is To Kill a Mocking Bird.  It's too bad that that book is on every teachers list because it makes kids not what to read it and it's great.  It has mystery, love, longing , friendship and courage.  

Answer 6

I read "The Summoning" by Kelley Armstrong. It was pretty good- It's the first book in a trilogy. It's about a girl who sees dead people and she get put in a mental institution for teens, but it turns out there more going on then meets the eye.

Don't want to give to much away. :p

But I love the books you love. xD

I might go and read the blue bloods one now. I thought it sounded a little dumb, but I'll give it a shot.

Answer 7

The Arbarat by Clive Barker.

Sunday at Tiffany's by James Patterson

The Arbarat:

Well I really can't describe it well because I only just started it, but it's about this girl named Candy who lives in ChickenTown, Minnesota.  Trying to get away from her rude teacher and classmates and her drunk dad, she ventures off to a unknown land with many different kinds of creatures. :)

Sunday at Tiffany's

Jane's mom worked a lot, but every Sunday her mom takes her to the St. Regis Hotel in NYC for desserts and to go shopping at Tiffany's.  Jane has an imgainary friend named Micheal.  On her ninth birthday, Micheal tells her he has to leave her, but Micheal promises her that she won't remember him.  23 years later, Jane stills remembers him. Then one day Micheal sees her in Central park.  :]

Have fun choosing a book.

Answer 8

Eragon, eldest, and Brisingr (coming on September 20th @ 12:01!)

I am sure that you know what it is about but just in case ya don't its about a boy who becomes a dragon rider.  I dont want to give away anything so thats all i can tell you.

Answer 9

When I was your age I was really into Tamora Pierce books. You'd like them if you're really into the fantasy type genre.

Answer 10

A thousand splendid suns

Pride and Prejudice

The Kite Runner

Please Kill Me

The Glass Castle

Sense and Sensibility

The Bone collector

Answer 11

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini is a good book. It is an intellectual and adult book but it is not that hard to read.

Also Brick Lane by Monica Ali is a interesting book about a woman who immigrates to England to London from India or Bangladesh.

I hope that's answered your question!

Answer 12

Robert Heinlein writes good science fiction.

Answer 13

Fantasy/Fiction - The Bartimaeus Trilogy (The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem's Eye, Ptolemy's Gate by Jonathan Stroud), The Temeraire Series by Naomi Novik (Temeraire is a dragon), Wish You Well - David Baldacchi (it's like To Kill a Mocking Bird).

-Mystery - The Three Investigators by Alfred Hitchcock, Agatha Christie.

-Horror/Scary/etc. - Rear Window & Blue Murder stories by Cornell Woolrich, The Day of the Triffids, Web, Kraken Wakes, The Midwich Cuckoos all by John Wyndham.

-'young adults' - Miss Shumway Waves a Wand by James Hadley Chase.

-Romance (for teens) - The Frenchman's Creek, Mary Anne Clark, The Scapegoat, The House on the Strand all by Daphne du Maurier. These could come under the 'young adults'.

-Mystical - nothing comes to mind.

Answer 14

Fantasy/Mystical : The Sweep series by Cate Tiernan. This was recommended to me because I loved Twilight. It's about witches and the writing makes you read it very quickly, so it's lots of fun.

As for Young Adults, I would recommend "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls. It's so real and raw that it hurts to read it sometimes. It's a true story about a girl who was basically homeless and her parents covered it up by picking up and moving a thousand times. This is one of those books that will honestly sweep you away. I truly believed I was Jeannette at so many points in the story.

Another one to recommend is "The Book Thief" by Marcuz Zusak. It's about a Jewish girl who is adopted by a German family. It's told from her point of view as well as the point of view belonging to Death. Very interesting.  

Answer 15

try Things fall apart by chinua Achebe

its african culture n really captivating and touching

Answer 16

Here are some must read classics you should look at. To name just a few...

-The Three Musketeers

-Queen Margot

-Pride and Prejudice

-To Kill A Mockingbird

-The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood

And some more modern books...

-Rebel

-Just a Little Bit Lost

-The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle

-The Palace of Laughter

Enjoy!

Edit: Ally was right, Tamora Pierce's Books are worth the read!

Answer 17

Hi!

The House on the Borderland , The Ghost Pirates or The Night Land written by William Hope Hodgson .

The Night Land

by William Hope Hodgson  

[O]ne of the strangest visions ever published in science fiction or fantasy is presented. The Sun has gone out: the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in a gigantic metal pyramid, the Last Redoubt, probably the first arcology in literature, under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a Circle of energy, known as the "air clog," powered from the Earth's internal energy. For millennia, vast living shapes - the Watchers - have waited in the darkness near the pyramid: it is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle's power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness beyond, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human.¡ª Excerpted from The Night Land on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
