Answer 5

Depends on what you like. Here are some of my faves--take your pick . . .

by L. A. Meyer (don't be discouraged--if you want a book with a heroine and love an exciting high seas adventure, these are the ones for you: (I give his series a billion stars!))
-"Bloody Jack"
-"Curse of the Blue Tattoo"
-"Under the Jolly Roger"
-"In the Belly of the Bloodhound"

by Stephenie Meyer (glorious vampires galore! *giggles*)
-"Twilight"
-"New Moon"
-"Eclipse" (coming out on the 7th)

by Meg Cabot (aka. Jenny Carroll)
-"Avalon High"
-The Mediator series (better than the regular chick-lit)
- 1-800-Where-R-You series

by J. K. Rowling
-Harry Potter 1-7 (duh!)

by Scott Westerfeld
-Midnighters series
-Uglies trilogy

by Tamora Pierce
-Song of the Lioness quartet

by Darren Shan
-Cirque du Freak series

by D. J. MacHale
-Pendragon series

And if you're up for a challenge . . .
by John Steinbeck
-East of Eden (I was suprised--I totally hated "The Pearl", but once I got used to the writing style, I found that I really liked it)

Answer 6

Woman in Red By Eileen Goudge
The Mango Sunset by Dorothea Benton Frank
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Tending Roses by Lisa Wingate
Good Hope Road by Lisa Wingate

Answer 7

East Of Eden - John Steinbeck
To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee
Two of the best books ever written

On the lighter side, try an Agatha Christie mystery.

Answer 8

I absolutely LOVE the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella. I dont usually get into books or read a lot, but i cant put these books down! they are funny and definitely hold my attention!

Answer 9

Hmm, depends on your age. If your a teen or lower, than 'ttyl', Eleven, and Twelve are great books.

Now, if you are a adult, than Scar Tissue is a great book. Now, WARNING, this book is meant for adults ONLY, DEFINETLY not for children or early teenagers. Bad language and some nudity (one pic) but is very interesting and good. Hope this helps!

Answer 10

Not knowing your age or interests makes suggesting books difficult, but here's my best shot:
