– The Twilight Series by: Stephenie Meyers IT’S A YOUNG ADULT SERIES FOR TEENS. I LOVED THAT SERIES!!!!!!!!! IT’S A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERS!!

– The Bartimaeus Triology by: Jonathan Stroud IT’S FOR EVERY AGE AND A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!!! THESE BOOKS ARE REALLY GREAT!!!!!!!!! IT TOOK ME SEVERAL DAYS TO START READING OTHER BOOKS AND THINK THEY’RE NOT LAME.

–The Harry Potter Series by: J.K. Rowling IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THIS SERIES, YOU’RE REALLY MISSING OUT. IT’S THE BEST SERIES I’VE EVER READ. BUT IT’S ALREADY CONSIDERED 2nd COMPARED TO THE TWILIGHT SERIES(1st choice, above). THAT’S WHY YOU SHOULD READ BOTH TWILIGHT SERIES AND HARRY POTTER SERIES.

–The Inkheart Series by: Cornelia Funke YOU HAVE TO READ THIS SERIES. THIS SERIES IS ABOUT A GIRL WHO CAN ACTUALLY READ SOMEONE OR SOMETHING out OF A BOOK OR READ SOMEONE OR SOMETHING into A BOOK. Imagine that “Tinker Bell from Peter Pan series” actually came to real life OR you jumping into the story “Cinderella”!!!!!!!!!! Aint that great?

THESE 3 BOOK SERIES ARE ALL VERY GOOD, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLINGS, FANTASY BOOKS, AND ALL VERY BOOKS !!! THE’RE ALL VERY POPULAR SERIES. MAKE SURE YOU READ IT BEFORE GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ender’s Shadow and Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
these two books are probably two of the best books i have ever read and i have read each book multiple times… the synopsis for each of the books does not do them justice and i HIGHLY recomend that you read them… i have supplied links to the barnes and noble site for each book so you can see the reviews from other readers as well as the summaries

Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray
these books have a bit of romance in them but i promise you that they are fantastic and not shallow whatsoever! they are fantasy books about a girl who has the gift and burden of magical abilities and keep the reader interested from start to finish

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
this book is by the same author as the davinci code, however i find it even better… the plot is exciting and different and you wont want to put the book down until it is over! i stayed up until 3 one night to finish the 600 page story (give or take a few pages) which i had started earlier that day on the way to a basketball game… a must read!

Eragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini
if you liked harry potter you will LOVE the inheritance set by paolini! i personally find these books to be much better than harry potter and i have read both books twice and will probably read them again before the 3rd book comes out in september. i was thoroughly disappointed by the movie becasue the books were so much better

and last of all…..
ANYTHING BY TAMORA PIERCE
especially the quartets which take place in Tortal….these books are absolutely fantastic and i have read every one of her books and am eagerly waiting for more… i have suggested these books to my friends, including those who hate to read, and all of them are now just as addicted to her books as i am… my favorite books by Pierce include:
the alanna quarter (song of the lioness)
the kell quartet (protector of the small)
the alainne books (daughter of the lioness)
the first book in the terrier series

HAPPY READING!!!!

Enjoy!

The Vampire Diaires by L.J. Smith

For a young adult/teen I recommend Meg Cabot’s young adult books. She is the best author. Also best selling. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), Jinx, Airhead and more. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her.

If you want more info or the authors website’s email me.
