Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Because of the books you've said you loved and the type of books you read I would reccommend these!.!.!.

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!.

Let's see, you should try:
*Shannon Hale-she takes fairy tales and changes them a little bit to make them her own- The Goose Girl, Princess Academy
*Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini- Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr
*Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan-written for a younger audience but my parents and I absolutely love them- about a boy, who's a son of a mortal and an Olympian god, and the adventures with his friends of similar parents
*Fire Within Series by Chris D'Lacey- again, kind of written for a younger audience, but absolutely wonderful- about clay dragons and they're able to talk and work magic
*A Great and a Terrible Beauty series by Libba Bray- a girl at an academy discovers she's able to have visions and must be the one to save the magical world she now belongs to, romance
*The Hollow Kingdom series by Clare B!. Dunkle- a girl gets taken to be the bride of a goblin king whose kingdom lies underground nearby, romance
*Hawksong series by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes - the princess and prince of two shape shifting, feuding kingdoms (into birds and snakes) must marry
*Beauty by Robin McKinley- an absolutely beautiful retelling of Beauty and the Beast
*The Princess and the Hound by Mette Ivie Harrison- a princess and prince of two feuding kingdoms and he can talk to animals and there's something odd about the princess and her hound !_! Www@QuestionHome@Com
