Forgot to mention and I love film.. and Nancy Drew is a bit elementary for me. I'm at a pre-college reading level so I'd appreciate a challenge. Thank you.

Definitely read them, first chance you get, they are difficult to find in stores so try buying them from www.amazon.com, or www.bn.com. Also when you finish those look for the new series "Fearless FBI" I just started it and it's great. (Theres a lot of books in the series but they are kind of short..dont worry) I cant stop reading them! (sorry if you dont like the fearless series...most of them are a little girly except for Alex rider series)

Wicked and Son of a Witch by Maguire. They're marvelous.
Also Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and Mirror Mirror by Maguire.
The Inheritance Trilogy, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and the Chronicles of Narnia are all really good too. Enjoy!

Into motorbikes ?? Ewan Macgregor and Charley Boorman writing 'The Long Way Around'. Good factual clever writings about the tour that Ewan and Charley took by attempting to ride their motorcycles around the world via russia, north china, america and then back to London. I give it a 8 out of 10 - Plently of good pictures as well (even if the are always of the events about to come - so you find yourself flicking back and forth alot).

Summer Sisters by Judy Blume - it's not one of her pre-teen books, it's a wonderful story about lifelong friendship and what we learn from our closest and often most difficult relationships.
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers - an American Literary Classic, one of the best books I've ever read.
Cane River by Lalita Tademy - spans several generations and is a wonderful read.

Give "Angelhair" by Joseph Noga a read. It's a good thriller that I really liked. You can read a preview of the story on the authors website www.joenoga.com Give it a look and if you like the read pass to word along to some friends.
