Hi!
So recently I’ve been REALLY obsessed with an online book website called www.wattpad.com. I’m always on, always reading… well… not yet published books. Problem is, my dad always gets REALLY ticked off when he sees me on my iPad/iPod touch, and doesn’t believe I’m reading. He always complains that he never sees me with a real book.
So can I have some good book suggestions for teenagers? I like romance, paranormal, teen fiction, and action. I hate sci-fi so… -_- Anyways, I’ve read most of the really famous ones (harry potter, twilight, percy jackson, matched, divergent, gone, the clique, warriors, fablehaven, the mortal instruments, maximum ride, the hunger games, etc.) so I probably read the famous ones by now…
Thanks in advance!

If you’re okay with fantasy I would suggest reading some books by Tamora Pierce. I can’t personally speak for any of the books set in her Circle universe because I haven’t read much of them, but the ones set in the Tortall universe are pretty good. Start with the Song of the Lioness quartet, it’s about a girl who pretends to be a boy so she can become a knight. ( http://www.goodreads.com/series/43928-so… )
Another good fantasy series is the Books of Pellinor by Alison Croggon. ( http://www.goodreads.com/series/49587-pe… )
Anne of Green Gables and the sequels by L.M. Montgomery are also good, I really enjoyed them when I was a teenager. It’s a classic series about the adventures of an orphan girl, Anne Shirley. ( http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8127.… )
You don;t say what age you are, but you sound old enough to be moving away from children’s fiction. Why don;t you either
1. go to a bookshop and browse the adult fiction sections, starting with the fantasy section if that’s what you prefer
2. get a kindle and browse the kindle store.
3. Visit a library – is this a new concept for you? you can browse, see what’s there, borrow books for free, or return home and download thrm. But if you actually visit a library, that’ll keep your dad quiet. [make him drive you there, haha]
Treasures of Darkness Treasures of Light i s a new book series by Geno Allen. Through the Dark Wood by Geno Allen….on Amazon as an eBook – you can use the free kindle app to download books from Amazon…including free ones and super inexpensive one. This one is 2.99. Paperbacks due out next month sometime, very very good fantasy novel. http://www.amzn.com/b00ae31pbg
Madeline L’engle is great.
Also some time when your dad is calm and relaxed show him what you are reading on the ipad and explain that it is only a change in format not actual content.
Ally Carter- Gallagher Girls academy (if your a girl..)
Carole Wilkinson- Dragonkeeper series
Emily Rodda- Deltora Quest.
Cornelia Funke- Inkheart.
Glad you’ve read Percy Jackson, awesome series. All these are serieses by the way 🙂
The delirium series is really good by Lauren Oliver and u should read the perks if being a wallflower. Another good series is the bbrth Marked series and The maze runner series and the If I stay series. Hope This helps. ✌
The Emeral Atlas by John Stephens
Slide by Jill Hathaway
Holes by Louis Sachar
The Mark by Jen Nadol
The Nest by Paul Jennings (an adult novel, but otherwise a really good read in my opinion!)
