I love books that have a realistic 'voice', especially in the teen genre which is pretty hard to find.
Some of my all-time favorite books would have to be Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld, Crank by Ellen Hopkins, and The Coldest Winter Ever by Sister Souljah.
My number-one is Imani All Mine by Connie Rose Porter, I have read it at least 10 times and every single time I wind up crying my eyes out!!

Mostly my favorite teen author is Ellen Hopkins. She gives us a peice of what real life is to some people. It is not just some, let's fall in love and have a happy life, story. Plus, her writing style is fabulous! Someday, I will be a writer just like her, She is my role model.
Here is a list of my favorite books, in order of course.
Howls Moving Castle: Fantasy, Romance, Humor, a little bit of everything. A very good book. Author is Diana Wynne Jones. If you like a mixture with fantasy, then I strongly suggest this one. It will leave you wide eyed I assure you.
House: Horror, Mystery, Romance, Suspense, Thriller. All the good things that should be in a book. The Authors are Ted Dekker, and Frank Peretti. If you like Horror, with alot of
Suspense and Mystery, plus a good moral, you have come to the right place. Very good book, it kept me up all night.
Impulse: Drama, Angst, Romance. One of my most treasured books. Author is Ellen Hopkins. Once you pick this book up, it is extremely hard to put it down again. Full of Romance and Angst, the perfect thing to read when ever you want.
Memoirs of a Geisha: Drama, Romance, Angst-ish. VEry good, entrancing I would have to say. A very good read, I find myself reading it over and over again. A taste of real life in the Japanese culture. Very Good.
Well, hope this helped. I look forwrad to reading some of the books you claimed to be your favorites. Thank you,

The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. She is also my fav author.
This is the last book of her Avalon Series. It is the legend of King Arthur and his knights from the point of view of the women of the story: Morgan, Viviane, Igraine, Guinevere and Morgause. FANTASTIC!!! The best version of the Arthur story...and I've read alot of them...
