Answer 2

Here are a list of my favorite books.



The Screwtape Letters, by C. S. Lewis. Extremely high reading level, but a relatively short read, and EXTREMELY great. Whether you believe in God or not this book will make you see yourself in a way you have never seen before. I put this book first for a reason...



Coraline, by Neil Gaiman. Very good childrens book. Also a short read. It's now a movie, but I find the book was better. It's a sort of creepy/funny book that will trigger your imagination.



The Fall of Lucifer, by Wendy Alec. This book is the first of a series. It's a medium reading level, and it's about the entire bible story, from the fall of Lucifer in the beginning, to now. It's amazing because it really draws you into the emotion (such as Michael and Gabriel weeping over their lost brother Lucifer), and how powerful evil is, and yet how pathetic it is when God is involved.

The other Nicholas Sparks books i read were The Notebook, The Wedding, A Bend in the Road, Nights in Rodanthe, and I am currently on True Believer. And all were or are amazing :) Tell me what you think if you do decide to read any :) Happy Reading :)

Answer 6

vampire academy series ( but only the first 4 books have been out ) its amazing i love it , its one of my fav books , its funny and romantic if u like fantasy , fiction , romance , then u can read this and this is the summary :

The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir, and a shadow-kissed one at that.

After two years of illicit freedom, Rose and Lissa are caught and dragged back to St. Vladimir's Academy, hidden in the deep forests of Montana. Rose will continue her Dhampir education. Lissa will go back to being Queen of the elite Moroi social scene. And both girls will resume breaking hearts.

and also there is a book called shiver , also a romance , fantasy book , its a series but only the first book has been out , here is the plot

As a young girl, Grace Brisbane is attacked and dragged from her tire swing by a pack of wolves. Though she is bitten, she is saved from from serious injury and death when a wolf with odd yellow eyes steps in to save her from the others.

Over the next six years Grace avidly follows “her wolf” and he returns the favor and becomes a constant presence in the woods just beyond her home, and in her life as well. Each of them honors the strange and unexplained affinity for the other over their shared winters and through the wolf’s mysterious disappearances in the warm weather. ( these books are great , one of my fav books ) i realy remommend it

Answer 7

I just finished reading Nokosee: Rise of the New Seminole by Micco Mann. It's about a modern day teenage Tarzan and Jane in the Everglades. Lots of action, adventure and romance. Told through a teenage girl's voice. Can be violent at times. I guess you might call it romantic realism. If you care about the environment and need to feel you can do something about saving the planet, this will do it. If you need a little escapism, this one will do that too.
