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)
This is one little planet in one tiny solar system in a galaxy that’s barely out of its diapers. I’m old, Dean. Very old. So I invite you to contemplate how insignificant I find you.

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...
