I love all of John green’s books. My favorite is The Fault In Our Stars! Its about two cancer kids and i love it because its just so real and the love is young and not TOO perfect which makes it perfect!!
Mary Higgins Clark also writes great mystery/crime books! The women’s murder club series by James Patterson is great as well. I also love Catherine coulter! They are just great suspense/crime books. Mary Higgins Clark’s a cry in the night was my favorite because i was scared/creeped out through parts of the book but i couldn’t stop reading.
Martha Quest by Doris Lessing I’m enjoying right now. It’s about a headstrong teenaged girl living in a white colony in Africa who decides she’s grown up enough to leave her parents and live in town on her own during the late 1930s, and the various fun and eye opening experiences she has as she develops insights into herself, others and society. The characters are all really well done, they feel completely real and the author gets right into their heads. Lessing is acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest authors. She wrote this when she was much younger but has since gone on to win the Nobel prize for literature (along with every other important literature prize out there).
Vampire Academy Series is AMAZING!! ๐ Also, I heard some novels by John Green are wonderful! I also love The Host by Stephanie Meyer. I hope you find one you like!! ๐
