What are some good books to read?

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?

This Lulllaby by Sarah Dessen.
It could be classified as a romace. It had a love interest or two. And it is one of my favorites.
If that counts for anything at all.

Oh, I know a ton of great books. Here are some to start off with. They all have a bit of romance, but they're not totally about romance. They're also extremely well written, interesting and funny. Enjoy!

The Gemma Doyle series by Libba Bray (first one is A Great and Terrible Beauty)
The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer (probably already reccomended)
The Mortal Instruments Trilogy by Cassandra Clare (first one is City of Bones. Third is not out yet)
Airhead by Meg Cabot (2nd in the series comes out in the spring)
The Mediator series by Meg Cabot (first would be Shadowland)
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
Dairy Queen + The Off Season by Catherine Gilbert Murdock (It's a series, Dairy Queen is first)

That's all for now. PM me if you need more suggestions.

The Private Novels by Kate Brian. Oh my god they have everything, romance, murder, mystery. They rock, (better then Twilight. Oh my god don't shoot me.) Which don't get me wrong the Twilight Saga rocks too.

Sundays at Tiffany's is great book. It's long but definitely worth reading. It's a romance but it's a little different.

I'd recommend any of Danielle Steel's books. They are absolutely heartbreaking. Also, the Drake Sisters series, though I can't remember the author right now.

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...

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

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. ><

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.

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!

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

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

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

Anna Karenina by Tolstoy.

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

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.

Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it’s the answer to everything. It’s the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if it’s a cactus.
— Enid Bagnold
