Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

^^^ My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult is great actually!.

It's about a girl, Kate, with Leukemia and her sister Anna who was conceived to be a perfect bone marrow donor for Kate!.
But here's the good part : Anna is suing her parents for the right of her own body which means she wants to stop being a donor for Kate!.

My favourite book series is Monster Blood Tattoo!.
1st book is Founling
2nd book is Lamplighter

Rossamünd Bookchild, a foundling from the city of Boschenburg, has lived his entire life at Madam Opera's Estimable Marine Society For Foundling Boys And Girls, learning the ways of life upon the sea so one day he can begin a career as a vinegaroon (sailor) in the Empire's service!. Rossamünd's only friends are the dormitory masters Fransitart and Craumpalin, and the parlour-maid Verline, of the Marine Society - the other foundlings only bully him for his feminine name!.
Much to Rossamünd's surprise, instead of a sailing life he is summoned to begin life as a lamplighter in the coastal city of High Vesting, far away to the south!.
Rossamünd goes on a journey to the fortress of Winstermill where he is to begin his training for becoming a lampligher!. But many obstacles and strange people are met on his way!.

The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen!. It's a cute love story but not completely cliche!. It's pretty good!.
If you liked Twilight, the Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, etc!. books by P!.C!. and Kristin Cast are good!. As well as The Vampire Diaries by Smith!.
If you want to go for something a little different, the book Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris is really good!. It's a bunch of little stories by him that are absolutely hilarious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Dune books by Frank Herbert are good, completely sci-fi with a lot of political tones!. I had to read the first one three times before I decided I liked it!.
Anything by Piers Anthony, the guy has a wicked sense of humor, very punny!.
Susan Cooper has a set of books called "The Dark is Rising" series!. All about the battle between good and evil, if you don't mind reading books meant for 11-15 (or so) year olds!.
Dave Pelzer "A Child Called It" True story about his life as a child!. Very brutal!. If you read the first one you have to read the other two books as well "The Lost Boy" and "A Man Named Dave"!.
My absolute favorite for all time Peter Pan by J!.M!. Barrie!. I know it's a kids story, I don't care!. Get a hold of an unabridged copy if you can!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
