Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is a great book to read. I highly recommend it. And the sequel New Moon is coming out this fall.
You can read my review of Twilight here:

Uglies is another good book and it is by Scott Westerfeld. It is actually the first book in a trilogy. Its sequels are Pretties and Specials. All the books are really good.
Sarah Dessen is a wonderful YA author as well. Her latest book is Just Listen. The Truth About Forever, her 2004 release, is also quite good. She's written many books...and she's definitely an author I'd recommend.
Sonya Sones is a great writer as well. What My Mother Doesn't Know is a book that reads really quickly. It captures the roller-coaster emotions of being a teenage girl.
Louise Rennison is also good. Angus, Thongs, & Full Frontal Snogging is the start of a very funny series starring Georgia Nicolson.
If you haven't already read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, I'd recommend that as well. It's an incredible book.

How nice it is to see that you want to start reading. I love it and would rather read than watch anything that's on TV these days.
I read a variety of books but I know of one that you might like, it was a movie but I can just about guarantee the book is better, "Where the Heart Is" by Billie Letts. Starting to read at this young age will open the doors too so many adventures. Enjoy!

There was another request for reading suggestions; if you track it, you'll probably get more and more varied answers.
Jane Austin, especially Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, and Sense and Sensibility.
You don't specify what kind of books, or what you like or are interested in, but here's a bunch of authors of nonfiction I like:
Oliver Sacks
John Allen Paulos
Morton Hunt
Miss Manners (Judith Martin)
Stephen Jay Gould
Carol Tavris

I would suggest a variety of books rather than confining yourself to a certain author or theme.
Some suggestions:
The Descent by Jeff Long
The Hitchhiker's Trilogy by Douglas Adams
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Irrational Man by William Barrett.

Do not overlook the value of reading the classics, even the 'modern-day' ones. There is a reason they're classics and that is because they influence the thinking of the reader in some key regard. Too much of the fiction produced today is drivel, but some of it is good. You can't go wrong with the classics.

I just finished a great book called "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" by Gregory McGuire. It is a grown-up version of the fairytale Cinderella, only the entire book is written as one of the stepsisters as the protagonist. It really is an amazing story, and you learn all of the background information that we never really knew in Cinderella, such as how her mother died, how the step-mother came to marry him, and how Cinderella was taken from her high seat as a wealthy man's daughter to becoming basically a slave girl for her step-mother. Read it! It's wonderful.

Read "The Memory of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd. It is a great book...heart-warming, tender, and thought-provoking. Purely a great book for your age. Nicholas Sparks' books are light and romantic, too and an easy read. It is wonderful you like to read.....you get to relax and get smarter by ....improving your vocabulary and increasing your reading speed. Good for you! Enjoy!
