I'm running out of books to read. I prefer romance, but it's about something interesting, I'll read it. Can you guys give me some recommendations?

Oh! I have the perfect book for you (if you haven't already read it):

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice.

It was amazing. Her writing is gorgeous.

Sunny! I loved Just Listen. I seriously fell in love with Owen the first time I met him. :]

I have a series that I got really hooked on.
It's kinda mystery/romance/drama
Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepherd.
It's not the most beautiful writing ever, but you seriously get hooked.

Anna Karenina by Tolstoy.

If you can handle a thousand pages, this masterpiece may just change your life.

Thanks for that, I almost forgot the name of the book...

My sister recommends Something Wonderful. I haven't read it though.

The Heir series by Cinda Chima

Warrior Heir
Wizard Heir (The best)
Dragon Heir ( a bit of a disapointment)

If you like romance I have the best book for you!

It is called Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. I laughed, I cried, and I did everything else in between! I truley believe this world would be a much better place if everyone read this book!

Please read it! I promise you, you won't regret it!

Well let's see,
I recommend The Other Boleyn Girl whose author escapes me at the moment. If you have read that one, I recommed Sundays at Tiffany's and Sam's Letters to Jessica by James Patterson. All indeed really good books. And if you want a fantasy flair, I recommend Airborn, Skybreaker, and Starclimber all in a series by Kenneth Oppel. Also A Great and Terrible Beauty. That book is amazing.
Well, thats all I have to recommend for now.
Do you have any to recommend to me? I plan on going by my bookstore soon.

I hate to "bump,' if you follow me, but read "Song in the Silence." Be warned: major point of view shift in chapter three or four... forgot which. ><

I really enjoyed Skullduggery Pleasant if you're in for an easy fantasy read, with a big portion of humor on the side.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo is a great classic romance... it's not as hard to read as most people think, and the relationship between Cosette and Marius is so sweet! <333
I don't know of many good recent ones though...

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
