recognize you stated no vampire books...however I consider Twilight is first-rate! It's a well booklet and it is in a men and women factor of view, now not a vampires! It's additionally a film. There's: Twilight; New Moon; Eclipse; and Breaking Dawn... Though Breaking Dawn isn't out within the cinema's but... If now not Twilight, then how approximately a few Jaqueline Wilson books? They're brilliant!!! And fairly humorous. Hope I helped(:

The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel. It is the first book in her Earth's Children series.

I read the book at the recommendation of a very dear friend so I obliged. After the first few pages... I was hooked

It is very historical and might be the book you're looking for.

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. It's about Dracula (the actual historical figure, not the guy from the movies)

I have first a question to ask you ;) Are you looking for mystery, romance... action? I am a mystery fan myself and I personally find Anne Perry, Ellis Peters, Wilkie Collins and Margaret Frazer are authors that I gravitate to more often than any others.
