I love books like "My Sister's Keeper" "Harry Potter" "Twilight" and "New Moon" does anybody know of any other good books that I can read? Something interesting for a young adult. Books with action, adventure, romance, drama...the usual.

I love Twilight and New Moon. Have you read A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray??? It is wonderful. I think you'd like it too. The second book, Rebel Angels, is wonderful too...I think it could even be better than the first...and the third is due out the same time as Eclipse...late summer/early fall. They definitely have action, adventure, romance, and drama. If you want more vampire fiction, try Peeps and Last Days by Scott Westerfeld (two books in the series). And the Midnighters series by Scott Westerfeld seem good as well. I've only read the first one, the others seem to be perpetually checked out of my library. Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz is another great book. Set in New York City, full of action and adventure...and it's vampire fun as well. The sequel Masquerade should be out this spring. I'm really looking forward to it. As far as fantasy goes, I am loving the Bartimaeus trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. I just finished the first book, The Amulet of Samarkand, but I've heard such wonderful things about the other books in the series.

hmmm. well that depends. I'm a young adult and i love series books but most of them are classified as children/teen books. The "Charlie Bone" series is really good. It's like harry potter. it's about a boy who finds out he has "magical" powers and he goes to this school where both normal kids and what they call the "endowed" children like him. I like it because it's like harry potter but with a twist. If you're not afraid of horror then "Cirque de/du Freak" is good too. it's about vampires, but it shows them in a completely different way than you're use to seeing them in the movies. I also love the "Pendragon" series about a boy who is a time traveler and "Artemis Fowl" is good too. If you want more of a romance/love like book then I'd go with some classics. my favorites are "pride and prejudice", "the counte of monte cristo" and "the cider house rules". The book for "the cider house rules" is a lot better than the movie. It doesn't have as much romance as it does complicating love matches but it's pretty good.

Try "Ghosts I Have Been" by Richard Peck. It's about a girl living in the early 20th century in an American small town. She's poor and doesn't get along with the snooty town girls, but she also has supernatural abilities that are both exciting and frightening to her. She ends up experiencing the wreck of the Titanic--without actually dying, because she's just a supernatural presence there. I absolutely loved this book. It's well-written, VERY exciting, and at times really funny. I hope you give it a try.

Neil Gaiman's Stardust. Its a great fantacy story about a guy that would do anything for a girl even catch a falling star. I cant give the book any justice by explaining it to you I would go to the barnes and noble web page and put it in it will give you info on the book. If you like that one, I would say to try any of his other books they are all good. (Keep in mind that he does graphic novels as well, so if you are interested in novels only make sure that the book you buy is not a graphic novel).

A Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels by Bray would be perfect for you!
So would any Jane Austin novel; Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Persuasion, etc.
Enjoy!

You should read "The Blue Castle" by L.M. Montgomery.
"Wuthering Heights" was above, SO good. Read that too.
Jane Austen is good, I saw her above too.
Thomas Hardy is excellent. Try "The Return of the Native" or "Tess of the D'ubervilles."

Wuthering Heights. The best book ever written. I'm a guy and that's saying something.
