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 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 any of the authors website's email me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks is just plain out amazing!. Its about julie who lives her life after her husbanf=d dies!. She meets a guy, i believe his name is Richard, and she starts dating him and she learns that hes not who she thought he was!. It's great it is very suspensefull

Other good books by Nicholas Spparks include A Walk to remember and Notebook, The wedding, Nights in Rodanthe, A bend in the Road,

Jane Austen is amazing too!. You should read pride and Prejudice

Lurlene McDaniels is really good in romance

The Host by Stephenie Meyer, it sounds kinda stupid but its really great!.

Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy!. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged!. Most of humanity has succumbed!.

When Melanie, one of the few remaining "wild" humans is captured, she is certain it is her end!. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the too vivid memories!. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind!.

Wanderer probes Melanie's thoughts, hoping to discover the whereabouts of the remaining human resistance!. Instead, Melanie fills Wanderer's mind with visions of the man Melanie loves—Jared, a human who still lives in hiding!. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she has been tasked with exposing!. When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
