I need books!

Subject: I need books! Fri Aug 03, 2012 3:37 pm

So, I'm more than a bit of a bookworm. I mostly read young adult books, but I'm open to suggestions. Really, I'd love some more books and series for me to get into. c:

Here are some suggestions for you if you are looking for anything good to read. If it has (series) after it, then it is the first book of the series. Some of them are just authors since I love all their books. Then there are a couple listed as (children's books), which are obviously more geared toward kids, but are still pretty good reads if you have some time.

Absolute Favorites

Uglies by by Scott Westerfeld (series)
Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick (series)
Fallen by Lauren Kate (series)

Dude, I've read a ton of those books and I may be able to help.

If you're into a few different series, check out a few by Lynne Ewing, I suggest The Daughters of the Moon, Sisters of Isis, and I think the other one is called Sons of Dark.

If you're into another Wicca related series you should try out The Secret Circle by L.J. Smith.

If you like James Patterson I recommend pretty much anything by him, including Daniel X, though it leans into the children book area, Maximum Ride, an Adult series is Alex Cross.

Another good Author with a few different series, Sci-Fi, Fiction, Fantasy, and Horor, is Darren Shan.

Hope I was able to help. :3

Have you heard of/tried the Shiver trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater? It's more for teenagers, but I really liked them regardless.

If you're looking for something that's really long and really pulls you in, try the Wheel of Time series, they're really amazing, but incredibly long.
