Question: I need a REALLY GREAT BOOK to read, help!!?

Does anyone know of a good book that is a love story that contains action in it!? I really do not want to read a vampire book please!. I really enjoyed the book The Host and even The Hunger Games!. NO teen books either unless they are really good (not so dramatic)!. I know i'm picky but it would be super cool if anyone can help, thanks!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

These are maily all romantic comedies but you may lie some of them, however for romantic action try Tamora Pierce's books!.!.!.

The A List (series of 10) - Zoey Dean
About the goings on of the teenage children of the rich and famous, contains a wide variety of material - love, hate, jealousy etc!. Loved it!

Girl Meets Boy, Guy Next Door, All American Girl, Avalon High, etc!. - Meg Cabot
I absoloutly love Meg Cabot's books! I would especially recommend the Girl Meets Boy & Guy Next Door as well as the third in that series, I immensly enjoyed them! Some are intended for adults but most for youth and I love them all!

Lioness Quartet, Wild Magic Quartet, Trickster, etc!. - Tamora Pierce
Tamora Pierce's books are mainly set in the land of Tortall in medieval times, they use the same characters just at different stages of their lives and different books/series' focus on different people!. They consist of fighting, magic, love, etc!.

The diaries of kelly ann (2 books) & Jumping to Confusions - by Liz Rettig
These recount the goings on of an older teenager as she strugles to make decisions and learn to trust in others!. The second one, Now or Never is about her relationship with a boy and is funny but romantic and suspencful at the same time!.

It's A Mall World After All - Not sure who wrote it though!.!.!.
Comedy of a girl and how she falls in love with her best friend's boyfriend's bestfriend while stalking her friend's boyfriend in an attempt to prove he is a lying cheating scumbag!. A very good read & lovey but funny at the same time!.

I'd Tell You I Love You But I'd Have to Kill You - Ally Carter
About a girl brought up as a spy and enrolled in a leading spy school who falls in love with an ordinary boy and can’t tell him who she actually is!. Funny!. There is a second in the series called To Spy or Not to Spy, it’s just as good!.

Possibly the S!.A!.S!.S!. series - Numerous Authors
About the travels of students and what happens to them on their stay - love etc!. Not brill but an ok read

Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paloini
Love them, you have to read them, Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr!

Sweet Valley High Books - !?!?!?
I can’t remember who wrote these but they’re a pretty good read even if they are kind of old!. If you’re into series’s these are good as their’s over 100 books

The Last Summer (Of You and Me) - Ann Brashares
A good book but immensly sad, it is probably better for older teens or adults!.

I have more suggestions if you want to hear them, just contact me or check out my website, http://www!.freewebs!.com/greatteennovels/
Hope you find something you like here!Www@QuestionHome@Com

the mediator series by meg cabot was really good in my opinion!. It's a great love story, but you have to wait till the later books in the series before the romance really kicks in!.
But I don't see why you don't want to read the twilight series!.!.!.!.!.well I'm assuming that's what you meant by "vampire book" because they are amazing!

well the great series i've read are:

the uglies series
the twilight series
the mediator series
the traveling pants series (sisterhood)
the peaches series(loved it!) Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try "A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray, or maybe "Wicked Lovely"
And since you like that Host I would recommend the "Uglies" trilogy and "The Bar Code Tattoo"
And ok, I just HAVE to ask, have you read Twilight!? Its kind of sounds like you have since you read the Host (by the same author) and The Hunger Games (recommend by the author) but if you haven't read it, i almost didn't because it was about vampires but then i read it and now its hands down my favorite book! (sorry that was my little pro-twilight speech that i just HAD to throw in)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I noticed you said no vampire books, but you said you read The Host, and Twilight is an incredible book!. I highly suggest you read it!. If you don't want to, i understand!.!.!.!.but you can try these books:

-The Uglies [ The Pretties, The Specials, and The Extras]
-13 Little Blue Envelopes
-In The Cards: Love
-Pretty Little Liars, series!.

i suggest getting into a book club, or looking at one online, and just checking out some books they have there!.
Hope I could help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
