I love Meg Cabot (Heather Wells & Queen of Babble) and Sophie Kinsella's (Shopaholic [soon to be movie] & Remember Me) Emily Giffin (Something Borrowed & Something Blue, Baby Proof) books!. I am in the process of reading Jennifer Weiner's (Good In Bed & Certain Girls) books!. They are all great authors!

For a young adult/teen I recommend Meg Cabot's young adult books!. She is the best author!. also best selling!. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), Jinx, Airhead and more!. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her!.

If you want more info or the authors website's email me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you like fantasy, I would recommend The Lord of the Rings!. If you want a book which gives you a good dose of history and is also a good read, you should try 'The Rise and Fall of the third Reich' by William L!. Shirer!. There has not been a more detailed insight into the doings of Hitler and his Nazi Party!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In Sci-fi I enjoyed the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey (yes, despite the title, it's Sci-fi due to the setting)!. Probably your library has copies!. The first one is titled "Dragonflight"!.

In am not big on biographies, though I do remember having enjoyed "Agatha Christie; an Autobigraphy"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
