Do you like fantasy? If so, I can reccomend a few you might want to try.
First off, about the reading age - thank goodness, I thought I was abnormal
Anyway, on to the reccomendations.
You must have read Harry Potter.
Deltora Quest, by Emily Rodda, is a very good typical 'quest' type.
Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer. Very good books, they become kind of heart-warming.
Redwall (the series) by Brian Jacques is one of my favourites.
Also the Inkheart (Cornelia Funke - always reminds me of Cornelius Fudge) and the Bartimaeus (Jonathan Stroud) trilogies.
I can't really help you further than that. Of course, if fantasy's not your type, I never said anything. O.O
God bless,
Ignis

Anything by Brandon Sanderson, Garth Nix, Diane Wynne Jones, George Orwell, Mickey Zucker Reichert, or Terry Brooks.

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is by far my favorite book.
Annnd, a list of titles:

The Painted (or Warded, depending on where you're from) by Peter Brett
The Prince of Shadow by Curt Benjamin
The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind


So...yeah. If you ever need any more, let me know. This is short cause I have school.


-Coral-

The three of the top of my head are: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, The Famished Road by Ben Okri and the Tales of the Otori series by Lian Hearn/ Gillian Rubenstein.

ANY Nicholas Sparks book if your into romance.

For action, I would.. hmm shoot.. Idk I dont read action.

For sadness get
*Hatelist
*The last year
*I am furniture
I like the books:
*Lovely bones
*Gone with the wind
*Kissed by an angel
*The forest of hands and teeth
*The geography of girls
*Hate list
*Dear John
*The notebook
*The wedding
*The last song
*Message in a bottle

Hey there!

I highly reccomend:

all of Ellen Hopkins' books are incredible. just be up for lots of drugs and sex.

Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen by Garth Nix- these are great fantasy stories with all sorts of dark magic, necromancy, and zombies. really good!

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice- this book is dark and erotic and has all sorts of weird stuff. amazing.

the Blue Bloods series by Melissa de la Cruz- a series where fallen angels are vampires that are reborn in different cycles. romance, masquerade balls, and fights between the blue bloods and the silver bloods. intriguing read

Shiver by Maggie Steifvater- awesome wolf book. they're not really werewolves either. anyway, its a passionate love story and a great read.

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick- another fallen angel book, but its focus is on a human girl who falls in love with a fallen angel.

the Private series by Kate Brian- a gossip girl meets murder mystery series about a girl who goes to private school on scholarship and gets tapped for an exclusive dorm. along the way her boyfriend gets killed, her friends are all suspicious, and she herself almost gets killed.

hope you enjoy!

I doubt you'll be interested in my suggestions after being bludgeoned by everyone elses, but I'll give it a go anyway. I am very open minded in regards to the types of books I like to read but I'm also very picky. I like a clear and accurate story without much extra hoopla thrown in for character developement. Although I have read a lot of Stephen King and he tends to go overboard with his characters. The best stories to me are the ones that entertain my mind by igniting my imagination with strange ideas and anything unordinary.

My number one choice when suggesting a book to people is It by Stephen King. It's in the one thousand page length and took me a week to read but it was well worth it. When I finally put the book down I had one of those "Holy Shit That Was A Good Book" moments. I mean, the characters in this book literally Breath with life. The shape shifting being that haunts this book's pages has filled my head with some of the strangest images. . . . I highly recommend this book.

I'll give one more suggestion about a great author, not an individual book. That author is Neil Gaiman. The guy's a genius most of the time. He wrote Coraline and Stardust---both of which I've only read brief exerpts from, but I've heard that they're good. Now, the book that truely caught my attention from him was American Gods, which I got last Christmas. This book was amazing---gave me another one of those "Holy Shit . . ." moments. Filled with myths and vivid dreams, along with a horribly gripping storyline. It starts with the main character whose name is Shadow. He's in prison in the beginning of the story, but when he gets some unexpected news he is let out into the world he was locked away from for so long. On the flight home he encounters a man who knows things about him that know one else knows, things that possibly he didn't even know. And from there is goes.

(the hunger games, catching fire, mocking jay)

the Inkheart series. Cant beat it.

This is a VERY good suggestion, but NOT for someone your age. I would HIGHLY recommend that you don't read American Gods until you're at least 16. (But then do, because it is my FAVOURITE book of all time )

Stardust also has a couple of 18A scenes.

Neil Gaiman books that I would recommend that you do read: Coraline and the Graveyard Book! Both excellent

Also: The Two Princesses of Bamarre (Gail Carson Levine), Sabriel/Lirael/Abhorsen (Garth Nix), Going Postal (And everything else (Terry Pratchett)) The Tin Princess (Philip Pullman), and I Capture the Castle (Dodie Smith)).

I love the fallowing books:
Willow
Dead tossed waves
Go ask alice ( this one maybe to old for you since it was to old for me and has content about drugs. )
Fallout ( same with this. )
Thirteen Reasons Why

Try some of Cecelia Ahern's books like "where rainbows end", and "a place called here" XxX

Books, Books, Books!! *Sighs happily* I try every sort of book so be in for a big one.

-Ophelia by Lisa Klein

-Maximum Ride series by James Patterson

-Witch and Wizard by James Patterson

-Ten things I hate about me (can't remember author)

-Witch Child by Cecilia Rees

-Sovay by Cecilia Rees

-House of Night series by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. First is Marked.
(IS totally different than Twilight.)

-Children of the lamp series by P.B. Kerr first is THe Akhenthan Adventure

-Bra's and Broomsticks by Sarah Mylonski (Think that's how you spell it.)

Unm great books are ll arond us but i think i have found one of the best series. i think you have heard of it. its called the house of night series and the authors had me crying by the second book so yeah i would most definatly go out there, find these books, and DEVOUR them like i did lol

Hungar Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins is a very good trilogy. It's exciting and kind of scary. Look them up if you haven't heard of them. It can be a bit graphic with the violence sometimes (For a week I was having nightmares; but couldn't figure it out) I'm not sure if this is a selling point for you I'm not the greatest saleswomen but these are seriously good book, I've gotten many of my friends to read them and they love them. Great bed time stories

When i was in year 3, i got bored with reading the "Laser Beam Series."

So i read Bram Stokers, "Dracula."

Nice read, and it's not that scary.
