I'm 20 as well and I read a lot of books.

I really enjoyed The Time Traveler's Wife, I read this while I was on a camping trip and cried through the last 100 pages!

If you were once into the vampire stuff then you will definitely enjoy Clockwork Angel. I thought I had grown out of "teen-fiction", but this one is set in the nineteenth century and the characters are surprisingly complex. Cassandra Clare is also an exceptional fantasy author (I read all of her other books as well).

I hope you'll like them!

The Bear in a Muddy Tutu by Cole Alpaugh



I LOVED this book. I wish it was being made into a movie instead of Water for Elephants.
