My favorite genres are romance, comedy, mystery/ thriller. Erm. Not sure what else.
My favorite books are
Looking For Alaska, by John Green. Not because the suicide part of it, but because of the way it's written. Because of the relationship between the two characters.

Angus Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging, by Louise Rennison. Just because it's funny as hell.

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. I liked the way it was written. I like the voice of the character.

Spanking Shakespeare by Jake Wizner. Also, extremely funny.

I like anything with a twist, really.

I hate books that treat the reader like a child. Anything really, truly, funny I enjoy. I appreciate good writing, so if it has nothing to do with any of these books and you just think its a genuinely good book, put it down, please.

Since you liked the Georgia Nicolson books by Rennison try the Ruby Oliver books by E Lockhart



Lockhart, E. The Treasure Map of Boys: Noel, Jackson, Finn, Hutch--And Me, Ruby Oliver.

Ruby Oliver’s neurotic mind continues to struggle with having boys as friends while being backstabbed by her female classmates at Seattle’s Tate Prep School

A couple of other amusing books:



Gill, David Macinnis. Soul Enchilada. .

When a repo demon comes for her Cadillac, Bug Smoot finds that her deceased grandfather pledged both her soul and her car as collateral on a deal



Jinks, Catherine. The Reformed Vampire Support Group. (AA for Vampires)

Nina Harrison, now and forever a teenage vampire, leads her dysfunctional crew of bloodsuckers on a mission to halt vampire persecution and rescue a vicious werewolf.



Sad, but really good:

Forman, Gayle. If I Stay.

While in a coma after her family is killed in a car accident, Mia struggles to decide whether to live or die.

technological awareness FICTION everybody ignores sci-fi yet as a count of certainty that some books are almost 0.5 philosophy. study Stranger in an atypical Land by utilising Robert A. Heinlein, Prey by utilising Michael Crichton, and 2001: an area Odyssey or Rendevous With Rama by utilising Arthur C. Clarke. Plus, I agree that Agatha Christie is a would desire to-study. After Shakespeare and the Bible, she has bought the main type of books international ever. Her superb are and then there have been None, The homicide of Roger Ackroyd, homicide on the Orient exhibit

The Burn Journals-Brent Runyon

I loved this book SO much. It's similar(ish) in some ways to Looking for Alaska. And I loved the style of writing.

I LOVE Looking for Alaska, so freaking much. It's the absolute best book ever. :)
