-Perfect (Natasha Friend)

Books by Ann Cassidy such as Looking for JJ and Birthday Blues...

try THORN (Vena Cork); great read. Good thriller.

-I Am The Wallpaper (Hughes)

-She's Come Undone (Wally Lamb).... ridiculously good.

-Northern Light (Jennifer Donnelly) It's in a back of the day time period.

Bridge to Terabitha is an AWSOME BOOK

Answer 18

Wow. I love your list, I've read most of the books on it.

You should read City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. It's amazing! City of Ashes is the second book in the series and City of Glass comes out this March.

The series is thrilling, action-packed, suspenseful, and very unpredictable. The characters are awesome and the dialouge is hilarious. The plot is amazing- you won't be able to put the book down.

Seriously - you'll love this book.

If you're looking for a nice, poetic, serene and flowy read, try Song of the Sparrow by Lisa Ann Sandell. I enjoyed this book a lot.

The Scarlett Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy is one of the best books I've ever read. It's set during the French Revolution, and the story revolves around the Scarlett Pimpernel- the anonymous hero who saves innocent prisoners from the guillotine. This novel is funny, suspensful, action-packed, and really good.

Eragon is another good book, although I don't reccomend that you watch the movie. It was awful.

If you read and like the Gossip Girl series, you'll enjoy the Luxe series by Anna Godberson even more. It's basically Gossip Girl meets the late 1890s- early 1900s.

Some more books:

Wicked Lovely - Melissa Marr

Megan Meade's guide to the McGowan boys - Kate Brian

Stardust - Neil Gaiman

Sweethearts - Sara Zarr

Bridesmaid - Hailey Abbott

Looking for Alaska - John Green

Victoria and the Rouge - Meg Cabot

Tourist Trap - Emma Harrison

Picture Perfect - Catherine Clark

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - Rachel Cohn

(It's actually been made into a movie. It's coming out in October)

To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee

All books by Rachel Hawthorne are really cute, and fun to read:

Thrill Ride

Labor of Love

Snowed In

Love on the Lifts

The Boyfriend League

Searching for books on www.bn.com is good too, there are comments by people who read the books, ratings, and recommended books too.

I hope you enjoy this list.

Good Luck finding what you're looking for = )

Answer 19

Harry Potter, Twilight Series, and the Ellen Hopkins books.

Answer 20
