Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I might have missed it, but I noticed you didn't mention Gossip Girl on your list!. I love Gossip Girl novels, and would be glad to give you the summary, if you haven't already read it!.
Gossip Girl by Cecily Von Ziegesar- In Gossip Girl, when the beautiful Serena van der Woodsen returns to private school after mysteriously getting kicked out of boarding school, the whole school is talking!. All Blair Waldorf knows is that there's no freaking way Serena's going to just waltz back in with her Jimmy Choo mules and Kate Spade bag and steal everyone's heart again!. But Serena's got other things on her mind, like college pressure and living up to everyone else's extreme expectations!. Plus there's that Ryan Phillippe-looking guy who stands across the street and stares at her all the time!.
The Boyfriend List by E!. Lockhart- Ruby Oliver is 15 and has a shrink!. She knows it’s unusual, but give her a break—she’s had a rough 10 days!. In the past 10 days she:
lost her boyfriend (#13 on the list),
lost her best friend (Kim),
lost all her other friends (Nora, Cricket),
did something suspicious with a boy (#10),
did something advanced with a boy (#15),
had an argument with a boy (#14),
drank her first beer (someone handed it to her),
got caught by her mom (ag!),
had a panic attack (scary),
lost a lacrosse game (she’s the goalie),
failed a math test (she’ll make it up),
hurt Meghan’s feelings (even though they aren’t really friends),
became a social outcast (no one to sit with at lunch)
and had graffiti written about her in the girls’ bathroom (who knows what was in the boys’!!?!)!.
But don’t worry—Ruby lives to tell the tale!. And make more lists!.
The Boy Book by E!. Lockhart- Here is how things stand at the beginning of newly-licensed driver Ruby Oliver's junior year at Tate Prep:
? Kim: Not speaking!. But far away in Tokyo!.
? Cricket: Not speaking!.
? Nora: Speaking--sort of!. Chatted a couple times this summer when they bumped into each other outside of school--once shopping in the U District, and once in the Elliot Bay Bookstore!. But she hadn't called Ruby, or anything!.
? Noel: Didn't care what anyone thinks!.
? Meghan: Didn't have any other friends!.
? Dr!. Z: Speaking!.
? And Jackson!. The big one!. Not speaking!.
But, by Winter Break, a new job, an unlikely but satisfying friend combo, additional entries to The Boy Book and many difficult decisions help Ruby to see that there is, indeed, life outside the Tate Universe!.
Dramarama by E!. Lockhart- Two theater-mad, self-invented fabulositon Ohio teenagers!. One boy, one girl!. One gay, one straight!. One black, one white!. And Summer Drama Camp!. It's a season of hormones, gold lame, hissy fits, jazz hands, song and dance, true love, and unitards that will determine their future —and test their friendship!.
Names Will Never Hurt Me by Jaime Adoff- In this gripping story, four very different teenagers reveal their deepest feelings and fears during a day in which the hurts and struggles of high school escalate dangerously!. There's Kurt, the "freek" who listens to loud music, trying to escape the kids who bully him; Tisha, the girl who feels "out of place" because she's biracial; Ryan, the football star who rules the hallways but hides a terrible secret; and Floater, who wields power over students by acting as the principal's eyes and ears!. As tensions rise and emotions reach the breaking point, will Kurt, Tisha, Ryan, and Floater be able to reach out to one another in time to prevent a tragedy!?
I hope you like my suggestions!. BTW, have you read all of The Clique Summer Collection books yet!?!?!? If you haven't, please do!. I loved them all, especially Alicia and Claire!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow! That's a lot of books! (:
I saw you mentioned Lisi Harrison (The Clique!?) and The A-List Series!.
Have you ever heard of Private!? It's a series about a highschool boarding school where crazy things happen!. It's an Ah-mazing collection and whenever I start reading, it's practically impossible to put it down! I would say it's a step up from The Clique!. More drama, older teens!. Check it out! (:Www@QuestionHome@Com
WOW! You read a lot!. But then again I have read about 3 quarters of the books listed so yeah!. I really really really LOVE the Twilight series,that's my favorite!. But I recommend the Raisin Rodriguez series
The Secret Blog of Raisin Rodriguez, Raisin Rodriguez and the Big time smooch, and Will the real Raisin Rodriguez please stand up!? Www@QuestionHome@Com
I was never a reader!.!.!. every now & then I picked up a book for pleasure but recently I've been reading a lot of Mary Higgins Clark books!. I read three of her books in four days!.

I enjoy a lot of gary paulsen's writings!. His tucket serious was very well written!. I read those when i was a preteen!. Another few books i really enjoyed is "Fight club" by Chuck Palahniuk!. And my all time favorite is "The Beach" by Alex garland!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
It sounds like you've read them all!. I suggest you go to a library and look in the young adult section if that's what your looking for!. Or go to amazon or borders!.com and look at what they have!.
But maybe the Eragon books or whatever!? i don't think i saw that on your list!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
theres these books called truecolor series (sounds stupid i know) but they are VERY good theyre by melody carlson and each book is a different color and about different situations!.
gossip girl books are also really good depending on your age!. i wouldn't suggest a 10 or 11 year old reading them!.
