I haven't read a book lately and i love reading, but i can't find any books that i would like in the school library, or online. Do you know any good books that i might like?
I don't like fantasy books, vampire books, or mystery books, and i also don't like diary books
I like books that are for teens and young adults

Then you will love SAVE KARYN-One Shopoholics Jorney to Debt and Back- by Karen Bosnak. It is based on a true story and it is so funny!! I am a girly girl and I just love it!!! Cost about $13. Worth checking out.....hard to put down.

I read somewhere that every woman has at some point read Rebecca (Daphne du Maurier): Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte); and Gone With The Wind (Margaret Mitchell).
'Twas probably publisher's hype for one of them, but they're all very, very good.
Also: see if the school library can rustle up a copy of A Town Like Alice, by Neville Shute. It's a book like they don't make any more: that is, it has a beginning a middle and an end, no gratituous sex, and a rattling good story. I buy copies every time I find them second-hand and people (male and female) always thank me, but why he's out of print I don't know.
Hope that helps.

Always good is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Also enjoyed Valley of the Dolls; Peyton Place. Oh and any book by Geoffery Macguire - he has created a series of books whose stories either come before or after other famous stories...for instance Wicked is about the Wicked Witch of the West (wizard of oz) before she becomes the Wicked Witch; there is also one about Cinderella.
Good Luck!!

Have you heard of "Cathy's Book"? It's a diary, but it also comes with clues to solving a mystery. It's pretty awesome. I also love Meg Cabot books... not so much the Princess Diary series, but her other ones are great.

Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs is hilarious, but I bet they won't have it in your school library because there are a couple of inappropriate chapters. It is about a boy growing up with a mother who is completely self-absorbed and slightly crazy, and she sends him to live with her psychiatrist. The shrink's family turns out to be crazier than his mother. Very good book.
