I'm 15 years old and I need a new book. I don't like anything like Harry Potter or science fiction. Any suggestions? :)

You should start off reading twilight by Stephenie Meyer and the second book New Moon. The third one comes out in August. It's a really great book about a girl, Bella who meets this boy who is a vampire. You will totally fall in love with the vampire Edward! He is so magnificent that you couldn't even dream of what he looks like. His name is Edward Cullen and his family are all vampires too. Enjoy!

Well, books like Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul are great books with stories that can really teach you something about living as a teen. It really depends on your tastes, though. If you like those books that have all of those dramatic teen face-offs with break-ups and stuff like that, then I don't know. If you like informational books, read anything about someone or something that you're interested in and want to learn about. If you like mystery, I have no idea. You can pretty much read anything...just know what genre you like, and go to your library for a while and just look through books of that genre until you find one that you like. Then if you like that book, you can read more by that author.

Well, I read a lot of classics in high school, so here you go:
Catcher in the Rye
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
The Odyssey
Emma
To Kill a Mockingbird
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
Tom Sawyer
Huck Finn
1984
Some of these are a little more adult than others, but they're all good; I think I'd start with A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I know you said you don't like HP, but you might like Lord of the Rings better, so you could give it a try.

Born Confused by Tanuja Desai Hidier is great I just read it and it is great. Also, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a great classic. When I was fifteen I loved Mario Puzo books, like the Godfather and the Sicilian. I think it's great that you care about reading. It is so important. Have fun and enjoy.

Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series. It's not sci-fi, more like alterative history. At least that's what I read when I was your age.
F.Y.I: The first book is called guilty pleasures, and the author's name is Laurell K Hamliton. Or and there's like fifteen books in the series and counting.

Every Young Womans Battle. It is by Shannon Ethride and Stephen Arterburn. Find it in any book or entertainment store. I bought it for my 14 year old siter and she loved it.

I think one of my favorite books when I was 13-15 was "Forever" by Judy Blume. It is such a great love story and I loved that it was a more adult read from Judy Blume.

well if you like romance novels and a bit of sci-fi try reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It's soo good. It's about a girl who falls in love with a vampire. I couldn't stop reading once I started.
