Do your have a favorite type of book? like sci-fiction, fantasy, romance, or mystery? if you do you can talk to a librarian and ask them to help you find book in that type. Or just browse thourgh the bookshelves when a book catches you eye, then read a page or two from any location in the book or the excerpt of the story that they have on one of the first few pages.
here are some books I have read that I find interesting
Eragon
Eldest - sequal to Eragon
Lord of the Rings Triology:
The Fellow of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Return of the King
Any book based off the Star War Movies (there are tons and tons of them) Like Jedi Apprentice (when Obi-wan was a teenager like us)
The Wizard of Earth-Sea
The Tombs of Atuan ( about a teenage girl who becomes the High preistess of the Nameless Ones)
The Lost Years of Merlin series (about when Merlin was a kid)
Now these are ones I like but you may not like them. just go to the library and start looking.

Speak by Laurie Anderson, i loved that book. Also The Maximum Ride series by James Patterson, he has to be my favorite author, all of his books are great, i dont think i have read one of them that i didnt like. Even though you are only 13 some of his more adult book you might like, his Alex Cross books are very good, also Beach Road. He writes in more of a mystery style.

I think you might like Francesca Lia Block's books. She writes for a young adult audience but her books are kinda grown up as well, she is really into magical realism.
Author, Francesca Lia Block is renowned for her groundbreaking novels and stories—postmodern, magic-realist tales for all ages. Her work transports readers through the harsh landscapes of contemporary life—to magic realms of the senses where love is always our saving grace.
Born in Los Angeles, where she still lives, Block writes fiction and non-fiction that pulsates with the language and images of the city's sprawling subculture. Many of her books including Weetzie Bat take place in L.A., a "Jasmine-scented, jacaranda-purple, neon sparked city," that Block likes to refer to as "Shangri-LA." Lauds a reviewer for the New York Times Book Review, "Block writes about the real Los Angeles better than anyone since Raymond Chandler."
Though grounded in the realities of L.A. and urban life—at both its grittiest and most beautiful—Block's work is otherworldly and almost transcendent in its reach. The daughter of a poet and a painter, Block has been influenced by the visual arts, by her childhood love of Greek myths and fairytales, as well as by music and dance. While at the University of California, Berkeley, Block's early influences expanded to include the magic-realist fiction of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Isabel Allende, as well as the modernist poetry of H.D. (Hilda Dolittle).
Block described her work as "contemporary fairy tales with an edge," where the real world and its trouble find solace through the alchemy of creative expression and love.
SHe wrote the Weetzie Bat series, which can all be found on her collection Dangerous Angels. Other works I would recommend are Echo, The Hanged Man, Wasteland, Girl Goddess#9, Ecstasia, Primavera and her collection of retold Fairy Tales called The Rose and the Beast: Fairy Tales retold. Her books are very honest and poetic, great stuff!

twilight is really good!! umm i read a lot!and im thirteen so how about harry potter. if your a christian(like me!) read Looking for God in Harry Potter by John Granger. its really good. The Clique series. Gossip girl is good but it has a lot of sex and cursing and one of the main characters is bulimic and i struggle with anorexia so i stopped reading that... umm lord of the rings. its kinda hard to read but its good especially if you like the movies. Tattoo. Maximum Ride series by James Patterson they are some of his only young adult books. and Speak forgot the author. i liked charlie bone but if you read harry potter first it will seem like a rip off cause they are similar even though have different premisis. tons more but they have escaped me!
