I need a good read, desperately!?

Question: I need a good read, desperately!!?

I have read all the twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, and have just finished The Host by the same author!. I love historical romances (clean) and just really good books!. I have no leads and just go to the library and choose some that look good but they never end up being very good at all!. I need a great book that I can't put down! Any suggestions!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

A bit more info would be nice!. I'm not psychic, but I truly don't believe that EVERYONE has only read the Twilight series and maybe 2 others!. Really!.
*sigh*

Try:

- The Bartimaeus trilogy by Jonathan Stroud* (LOVE the footnotes)
- The Luxe/Rumors by Anna Godbersen
- The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray
- The Artemis Fowl Series by Eoin Colfer*
- The Maximum Ride series by James Patterson
- Eragon/Eldest by Christopher Paolini*
- Many books by Tamora Pierce, I've read them all, but her newer books are the best, I think!. Especially Trickter's Choice/Trickster's Queen and Beka Cooper
- The Pendragon Series by DJ MacHale (it's LONG!. There's 9 books and it's still not done!.)
- East by Edith Patou* (this book is excellent, but hardly anyone I know has read it!. Definitely worth your time)
- The Chanters of Tremaris Trilogy by Kate Constable
- Dragon's Blood/Heart's Blood/A Sending of Dragons by Jane Yolen
- Many books by Gordon Korman, he is awesome but the books themselves are pretty short!. Hilarious though!.
- Watership Down by Richard Adams
- His Dark Materials Trilogy by Phillip Pullman
- The Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
- Goose Girl/Enna Burning/River of Secrets by Shannon Hale
- The Darkangel trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce*
- The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis
- The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien
- The Blue Roan Child by Jamieson Findlay
- The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley*
- The King's Daughter by Suzanne Martel
- Three Bags Full by Carl Hiaasen* (Sheep try to solve a murder mystery!. It's hilarious)

I know there are more, but I'm going off my bookshelf and what's sitting next to me, so it's limited, sorry!.

Hope you find something good!

* = my 'specially recommended!. This is a list of my favourites, though, and they're all EXCELLENT!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know a GREAT historical (CLEAN!) romance--It's called "The Rose Without a Thorn" by Jean Plaidy!. It's about Katherine Howard, the 5th wife of Henry the Eigth!. It grabbed me from the first page, and I read 60 pages in ONE DAY!.
There are very vague hints of innuendo, but other than that it's really clean!. You'd like it :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Check out Patricia McKillip's 'Winter Rose!.' It's a fantasy novel got what I understand to be a similar plot to 'Twilight' (naive girl falls for a mysterious and possibly supernatural stranger), and is really interestingly written and a brief read!.

As far as supernatural creatures in modern day, try Charles deLint's 'Jack the Giant Killer,' Emma Bull's 'War for the Oaks,' or Neil Gaiman's 'Neverwhere!.'Www@QuestionHome@Com

HHHHHmmmmmmmm!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

"The Morning Gift" (it's very good and its CLEAN)
"13 Reasons Why" (This is not historical romance!. This is about a girl who commits suicide!. But then her crush finds out clues telling why she commited suicide and one of the reasons is HIM!.
"Pride and Prejudice" LOVE IT
ummmmmmm id ont' know anymroe SORRYWww@QuestionHome@Com

The Invention of Hugo Cabaret by Brian Selznick!. Fantastically written and illustrated story of a boy who lives in a train station and unearths the truth about the toy maker and the girl he meets!. The little tie-ins to the history of film are really interesting as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

try the "Suspicion" series by Barbara Parker!. They are some of my favorites, and I can never put them down, even though I've read them over and over!. Plus there are I think 7 of them, so you get to keep reading about the characters you will come to love!Www@QuestionHome@Com

the Warrior Heir!. Its not historic, and its got a lot to do with the magic and stuff, but it is good!.!.!. I can't put it down, and I read it 4 times!. It also has a little bit of romance in it!. Its clean, dont worryWww@QuestionHome@Com

The Song of Fire and Ice series!.
I have been trying to read the first one!.
and I am only on page 60 but, I have heard that you cannot put it down, from 3 people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
