Here are some of my favorite teen and some adult-ish novels:

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer!. It's about a girl named Bella who moves to Forks, Washington and runs into a group of vampires!. VERY VERY good! I REALLY think you should give it a chance because I'm not into vampire stuff, but it was AMAZING!
http://stepheniemeyer!.com/twilight!.html

Pants On Fire by Meg Cabot!. It's about a girl who basically has everything (popular best friend, good grades!.!.!. and TWO boyfriends!.) It's really funny because then her friend from eighth grade come back to town (everyone hates him) and she falls head over heals for him too!.
http://www!.megcabot!.com/

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares!. It's about four girls who where born as friends!. They go through ups and downs together!.

The Last Summer (Of You and Me) by Ann Brashares was amazing!. It may be more of an adult book, but it was fairly good!.

All-American Girl and All-American Girl Ready Or Not by Meg Cabot!. It's about an outcast girl who happens to save the presidents life!. Suddenly everyone at school wants to be her friend, but she doesn't really care!.!.!. What she does care about is the presidents son!.!.!.

Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot!. It's about a girl who goes over seas with her boyfriend after (almost!) finishing college!. After a bad break up with him, she goes with her friend and runs into someone!.!.!.!. It's a very good adult book!

How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot!. It's about a girl who comes across an old book in her grandma'a attic called how to be popular!. So, she follows the rules of the book hoping to become popular!.

Jinx by Meg Cabot!. If you liked Twilight, then you'll like this book!. It's about a girl who has bad luck all the time so she moves in with her aunt and uncle!. He sister is into witchcraft and I don't want to spoil the rest, but it fairly good!.

Teen Idol by Meg Cabot!. This is about a girl who has an advice column in her school newspaper!. So, when a famous actor comes to her school and she's the only one who knows about it, chaos occurs!

Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen is also pretty good!. It's about two girls that are best friends who are having a few issues in the love department!.
http://www!.sarahdessen!.com/!?q=books

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen is one of my favorites! It's about a girl who had something terrible happen to her and she's learning how to cope with it and befriends an outcast boy!.

The Mediator series by Meg Cabot!. I've only read the first two, but they are VERY good!. It's about a girl named Suze who moves to California from New York because her mother just remarried!. Oh, and Suze can see ghosts!.!.!.

13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher!. It's about a guy named Clay who gets these tapes in the mail about why a girl named Hannah killed herself!. It's very good and a great page-turner!
http://www!.thirteenreasonswhy!.com/

She Went All The Way by Meg Cabot!. This is a book for more mature people, but it's very good!. It's about two people who get stranded in the wilderness!.

Forever!.!.!. by Judy Bloom is also pretty good!. It's about a girl getting a boyfriend and going through sensual things!. It's a little mature!.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is okay!. My friends LOVED it! I don't wanna tell you what it's about because it'll just give it all away!.

The Host by Stephenie Meyer!. It's about how these things called souls invade Earth, as well as humans!. It's based on a soul named Wanda who is placed into Melanie, who refuses to fade away like she's suppose too!. It's very interesting and I totally recommend it!

In the second book, Eldest, the dwarfs, elves, humans, Eragon, and Saphira have joined forces against evil!. Eragon and Saphira have begun training to understand and improve their skills!. A new, red dragon makes an appearance!. I've been told that in the third book a golden dragon will appear!. It has just been announced that the third book, Brisingr, will be available on September 20, 2008!. Originally planned as a trilogy, Paolini has recently decided that there will be four books in his Inheritance Cycle!.

John Beachem:
Storms of Vengeance is John's first novel and I've been told that it is part of a series of 8 to 10 books!. There is a murder mystery to be solved!. Who did it and why!? There is a mythical Lorradda Stone to locate!. There are three parallel stories as we follow the actions of three different groups of people!. There are also some ogres, two elves, several sorcerers, a troll, and one very impressive river monster!. The book ends with a cliff hanger!. One reason that young people gave for liking Harry Potter was the detail in the stories!. They will find plenty of detail here as well!. The title of the second book in the series will be The Hunter and the Marked!.

David Eddings:
There are three stories in Volume I of The Belgariad: Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, and Magician's Gambit!. Volume II of The Belgariad has two stories: Castle of Wizardry and Enchanters' End Gambit!. If you are looking for grand adventure and plenty of detail it is here!. Some may object to the slow progression and limited action of this tale!. A sorcerer and his daughter, a sorceress, have gathered together a group of individuals to fight evil!. It seems that the particular make-up for this group is necessary based upon an ancient prophecy!. The group includes: the Nimble Thief, the Man with Two Lives, the Blind Man, the Dreadful Bear, the Knight Protector, the Horse Lord, the Bowman, the Queen of the World, and the Mother of the Race that Died!. A young boy named Garion, who was raised by his Aunt Pol, is caught up in all of this, though he doesn't know why!. But then, is she really his Aunt!? There is so much detail that I have not as yet confirmed there are no mistakes in the mapping of the story!. I thoroughly enjoyed The Belgariad and look forward to reading the sequel, The Mallorean!.

The Mallorean Volume I: Guardians of the West, King of the Murgos, and Demon Lord of Karanda by David Eddings

Polgara, the Sorceress by David Eddings
