Question:

What are.............?

What are some good books that I can read over the summer. I get so bored and need SOMTHING to do !!!!

They have to be good ones though!!!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You could try Alice Sebold's books, The Lovely Bones (told from the POV of a 14 year old murder victim) and Lucky, the author's memoir about her rape on the last day of her freshman year of college.

If you like fantasy, try Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.

Science fiction, try Scott Westerfeld's trilogy Uglies, Pretties and Specials. At 16 you have an operation and go from being an Ugly to a Pretty-your only job is to have fun. There's a problem with this of course, because they don't just change the outside...

I also read Peeps by the same author and am in the process of reading the sequels. Peeps are parasite-positive individuals (vampires basically).

If you need a sad story, check out Lurlene McDaniel. They're good, but I usually need a kleenex.

If you like horror at all, might check out Darren Shan's Cirque du Freak series. Main character snuck off to a freak show, steals a spider and then has to make life changing decisions based on this action. Crazy, but fun (and a little gross).

Have you read Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer? The third book comes out in August - Eclipse.

Keep on reading!
