Try:
Private- Kate Brian!.- This book is so unexpectedly devious it will leave you needing to buy the next book, and the next book, and the next!.!.!.At least that is what it did to me!. I couldn't put the books down!

Harry Potter - JK Rowling
Hey, I'm just throwing it out into the open!. I thought it was the most amazing thing I have ever read, but most Twilight fans don't like it!.!.!.I don't know!. It seems like Harry Potter fans like Twilight, but Twilight fans don't like Harry Potter!. It dosen't make sense I know!.!.!.

The Clique - Lisi Harrison!.
This series is about a group of popular girls who are trying to make it through school and still stay on top!. You will be transformed into their glamorous world and you won't want to come back until the series is over!.

You could read anything by Lois Duncan!. She writes mysteries!.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - Ann Brashares

Rune Marks by: Joanne Harris
This book is great! I could not put it down, I was hooked! Its a great book because the author weaves in Norse Mythology into the story, yet still crafts an idea all her own!. I think books like that are interesting, so this book definately had me hooked!. Its all in all one of my new favorites!

East by: Edith Pattou
When I first read this, I couldn't put it down! It was so good! This is another book in which the author weaves in folk lore or mythology into the story, yet still manages to craft a work of her own!. In this case, Ms!. Pattou uses an old Norwegian folk legend and retells it as her own unique story!. This book is also interesting because each chapter is told from a different character's perspective, which I think makes the story more interesting and grasping!. I'd definately check this one out!

Cry of the Icemark by: Stuart Hill
This is one of my favorites! Mr!. Hill manages to still write the classic good vs!. evil fantasy story without sounding too much like LOTR, or the Chronicles of Narnia, or what not!. This book has amazing characters that are just so loveable, plus some characters that are simply amazing! This book is a great read, so I'd check this one out also!.

Blade of Fire by: Stuart Hill
This is the sequel to the book above, and its pretty good!. Its not as good as the original, seeing as it basically has the same plot line, but there are some new twists and faces in the book!. Its a pretty good read, a bit longer than COTI, but it tends to be a biiit boring in parts!. The main character changes, so you see less of the loveable characters that were in COTI, which kind of upset me, but its still worth a read!.

I hope you like these!! Definately check them out, they are all great! Good luck, and happy reading! :]Www@QuestionHome@Com
