Book recommendations!

Asked by youngxxxhot 10 months ago, 9 answers.

I'm looking for some good books (obviously)!
I'm 16, but I don't really read teen books much.
I really like fantasy and sci-fi, but I'll give just about anything a try.
Some of my favorite books are The Perks of Being a Wallflower (Stephin Chbosky),...

The Dark Tower Series (Stephen King), Twilight Saga, Plain Truth (Jodi Piccoult), 1984 (George Orwell), and just about anything by Chuck Palahniuk.
Thanks!

The House of Night series (You like Twilight, so you must like vampires.)
The Lottery Rose (Really good. Not fantasy or sci-fi though.)

I can't think of any more.

I just finished this book called the Hot Zone. It's a true story but it seems like it's sci-fi. It's a New York Time's Bestseller and I couldn't put the book down.

I can give you a fantasy suggestion,

Try reading the inheritence cycle by christopher paolini. So far there are 3 books out the 1st is Eragon the 2nd is Eldest and the 3rd is Brisingr the 4th is yet to be released. The series is about this boy named Eragon who one day discovers a Dragon egg which hatches for him and he becomes a dragon rider and the last of his kind apart from the main antagonist. It also has a romance in it as well involving eragon and another character.

Hope I was able to give ya a good lil tidbit on what its about, its one of my favorite series!
