Question: Do teenagers read anything but Twilight and books about gossipy rich girls!?
This is a follow up question to the one about Twilighters!. I asked if they have ever read any other books!. To those who answered "Yes", the added they had read books such as the Gossip Girl series, The Clique series, Meg Cabot books, and Nancy Drew!.

(This is no offense to Nancy, as I thoroughly enjoyed those books in 3rd grade!.)!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I'm a teenage girl and honestly I hate Twilight!. I have more than 300 books, they're all mine; oddly enough I've never read The Clique series, Gossip Girl and such pathetic books!.!. :DWww@QuestionHome@Com

Well, i read like non stop and i have yet to read twilight, gossip girls, the clique or any meg cabot books!.!.!.!.i admit i read one or two Nancy drew books a few years ago, but i was a serious Trixie Belden fan, she was way cooler then Nancy Drew!.!.!.!.anywho, i read mysteries by Dee Henderson, Teri Blackstock and Diane Noble, i read romance books by Karen Kingsbury, Lori Wick, Isabelle and T Davis Bunn, favourite books are definitely The Princess by Lori Wick, and the O'Malley series by Dee Henderson! Amazing books lacking vampires and gossipy rich girls:P Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've read all of those books, but I didn't like them!. Most people in my school haven't read any of those!. We have read: Harry Potter, City of Bones, Fallen Angels, Rebel Angels, hardcore poetry like Robert Frost, The Kite-Runner, Heidi, To Kill A Mocking Bird, Holly Black, The Princess and the Pauper!.!.!.that kind of stuff!. It's just that it's nice to read something that just can't happen or something with a completely happy ending!. Or something that's like a dirty little secret!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am 17 years old!. I have read the A-List (hated it); Gossip Girl (was bored with it); The Clique (grew out of it after 7th grade); and Twilight (good at first, got MUCH worse)!.

I have read All-American Girl by Meg Cabot, and that's it!. It wasn't half bad!. And I have read a bunch of Nancy Drew as well!.

As far as gossipy, rich girl type stories, count me out!. They very rarely have a good plot!.

Some of my Favorite books include: The Tea Rose; A Northern Light; Love Among the Walnuts; Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry; 101 Dalmations; Kissing the Rain; A Little Princess; Trout Summer; Turnabout; My Side of the Mountain; and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle!.

Not high-level, necessarily, but much more interesting than some of the things other girls my age read!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Im 16 and i have read twilight but i was appalled by its writing!. I much more rather read the classics!. I don't know what it is about classic literature, but i love it!. I love reading them and finding the underlying symbolism!. I can say that i have never read such books like Gossip Girl series, The Clique series, Meg Cabot books!. I can just go to school to get the feeling of what those books are about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Mary Hoffman- Stravaganza Series
Libba Bray- A Great and Terrible Beauty Trilogy

and of course the Harry Potter series (im obssessed, sorry)

for really good series and books that aresnt all about gossip or anything go to the library, not the bookstore!. Library tends to have the more intellectual young adults book!Www@QuestionHome@Com

XD I'm a teenage girl!.!.!. I find that offensive! I read way more things than that!. I read Harry Potter, Goose Girl, River Secrets, Enna Burning, Trickster's Queen, Trickster's Secret, The Named, The Dark, The Key, The Amulet of Samarkand, The WHOLE Guardians of Ga'Hoole Series, and much, much more!
I HAVE NOT READ GOSSIP GIRL, THE CLIQUE SERIES, OR THE MEG CABOT BOOKS!
I HAVE read Twilight though, but I'm not an obsessed freak!

I am 15, and I hate the Twilight Series!. I prefer reading books with actual literary value; such as the classics!. I have read the Clique series and Gossip Girl, but that was back in 6th grade, and honestly, they arent goob books; they're very shallow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Im a teenager and I have read the Twilight books out of curiosity and did not like them!. I actually love reading and read a lot of other books and a variety of genres as long as it keeps me interested!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yea, teenagers read other books than just Twilight (which I love) and stupid books!. I read Anne Rice, which is college level, and I read a variety of other things!. Most of my friends read books that are on a higher level as well!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not a teenager, the only series I have heard of from the ones that you have mentioned is Nancy Drew, which I thoroughly enjoyed!.
