I'm writing a story about 5 friends named Valerie Mackenzie,Chloe,Chelsea and Autumn can u help me start it!

Perhaps you could start it with something going on... they%26#039;re at the mall, someone%26#039;s making fun of one of them and the others stick up for her, etc. Don%26#039;t do the whole, long description thing at the beginning. Describe everyone and everything in little snippets. If you put the entire description of them all at once, it will be really boring, and everyone will probably stop reading right then and there.





Good luck with your new story!

Generally, to make it interesting, start in the middle. Don%26#039;t begin the story in a way it sounds like a beginning. They%26#039;re already doing something and you just happened to invisibly slide in beside them and start writing from there. (I didn%26#039;t mean that figuretivly but start from the middle). If you notice, children%26#039;s stories generally have a structured beginning, middle and ending. Since it sounds like Young Adult or YA as we librarians say, you don%26#039;t want to write down to your audience since I%26#039;m assuming your target audience will be readers approximately your age.

The last Friday of every month is a day to be dreaded. Every floor must be vacuumed, every couch and chair dustless, and every bed made so tight that a nickle can bounce a foot when dropped with little force. Twenty-two orphans must be washed and in good humor ; and all twenty-two must be reminded to use their best manners, and say %26quot;Yes Ma%26#039;am%26quot;, %26quot;No Sir%26quot;, whenever a potential adoptive parent comes through and addresses them individually. Yes, the last Friday of every month is Visiting Day.





(This is the best I could come up with on short notice...lol...hope it helps alittle.)
Reply:Here is something you might consider:





Valerie decided to visit a park near her home. It was a mild spring day and the wind brought the scent of orange blossoms from the groves surrounding the park in Southern California. Valerie was about to turn fifteen years of age, her hair was the color of a ravens%26#039; wing, her sad eyes were the color of emeralds and her oval ivory face wore an exited look. She was sitting on a steel bench that felt good on her bare legs for she was wearing shorts. She saw her Friends walking towards her and she heard the happy giggling and small talk and her heart felt warm.

Reply:One of the most life changing books I have ever read is called %26quot;The secret Journal of Brett Colton.%26quot; It is about a girl and her brother died from cancer when she was 2. She doesn%26#039;t remember him or anything but her family acts like he is some sort of God. They are always talking about how amazing he was at everything he did. She gets really sick of always hearing about him and starts hating him. Then on her 16th birthday her mother gives her an envelope. Inside is a letter to her from her older brother saying that she was his inspiration to keep on fighting his cancer because he loved her so much. In the letter it tells her were to find a journal that he wrote for her while he was battleing cancer. Mean while she is falling in love with a boy from school. It is FANTASTIC!!! I really think you should read it:)

Help with Roger in Lord of the Flies?

In Chapter 1, Roger is the one who brings up the option of having a vote to elect a chief. What does this reveal about Roger?
Help with Roger in Lord of the Flies?
Roger feels secure in a controlled atmosphere where he makes the rules and therefore knows what to expect and can determine the out come.
Help with Roger in Lord of the Flies?
Roger reflects the %26quot;civilized%26quot; part of our nature. He is one of the few who believe that order and laws should govern the group of boys and the conch was the only symbol of civility.
Reply:I disagree. I think Roger is the most savage of all the boys. The fact that he brings up the option of having a vote to elect for chief, shows us how confident he is that Jack will win.

Catcher in the rye/ marching band?

hey guys! so i%26#039;m doing this project for catcher in the rye for english. we%26#039;re suppose to make an abstract representation of Holden%26#039;s brain. Some people are doing like a car, or like Disneyland or something and i was thinking of doing Marching band. I%26#039;ve got most of what things could represent but I%26#039;m still not quite sure on others. So far I have:


-Marching band = Holden鈥檚 Brain


-Drum Major = leads the band, makes all the major decisions


-Woodwinds =


-Brass =


-Color guard = his imagination, brings his creativity and acting out


-Percussion =


-Field Show = His Life鈥?going through it


-Drill Downs = tests his endurance, when he messes up is equal toHolden messing up once not doing something right (getting kicked out of school)


-Competitions = Obstacles he goes through





obviously the ones without ideas next to it are the ones I cant think of. If any of you have good ideas please help me =] or if you have better Ideas than what i already have feel free 2 say. Thanks
Catcher in the rye/ marching band?
Percussion - that still small voice in him that he sometimes listens to and sometimes doesn%26#039;t
Catcher in the rye/ marching band?
Woodwinds- the high notes, often the melody represent his good side- of wanting to protect his sister and innocence of the world


Brass- the deep and often heavy timbre of the instruments demonstrate Holden%26#039;s heavy stress brought upon by himself and partly others- the reasons why he thinks everyone is hypocritical and his passionate anger at the world ( the time when he hurt his hand( fist ) when his brother died


Percussion- sometimes percussion instruments have an effect of leading the audience to anticipate an occurrence, but sometimes no major changes or astonishing events followed- this can represent the developments of Holden%26#039;s mind towards the end of the novel in which he expressed that he suddenly felt happy watching Phoebe in the rain and as Phoebe gave him a kiss- however, it is clear that he did not really mature at the end, at least not to a great extent

What is the first star wars book in the trilogy?

i want to start reading star wars and i%26#039;m confused about which book is the first and what order to read them in. please help me out.
What is the first star wars book in the trilogy?
Darth Bane: Path of Destruction.
What is the first star wars book in the trilogy?
Do you mean the books that correspond to the 6 movies? Start with %26quot;Phantom Menace.%26quot; Then you%26#039;ll be reading them in chronological order according to the story line.





What happened was, %26quot;Star Wars%26quot; the movie came out in 1978 (around then, anyway). Then came %26quot;The Empire Strikes Back%26quot; and %26quot;Return of the Jedi.%26quot; Those 3 movies are the *original* trilogy.





But they decided to do prequels. So the fourth SW movie made is the FIRST in the STORY. And what was originally called simply %26quot;Star Wars%26quot; became %26quot;Star Wars FOUR: A New Hope.%26quot; The first one made, but the 4th according to the timeline.





I hope that%26#039;s not too confusing! Anyway, just start with %26quot;Phantom Menace%26quot; and you%26#039;ll be fine. Enjoy!





EDIT: Looks like Xalia knows the SW books, including those not directly related to the movies. There are many dozens of them.
Reply:If you are already familiar with the movies, then you probably won%26#039;t need to read the novelizations of Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi (Episodes 4, 5 and 6). These books were written after the movies came out and include everything that was seen on the screen. There are some small tidbits that have been added, but for the most part, they are just the movie.





The novelizations of The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith (Episodes 1, 2 and 3) contain some additional stuff that wasn%26#039;t seen in the movies and these were written as companions to the movies as they were released.





(Background - Lucas wrote 9 parts to the Star Wars saga, but didn%26#039;t start with part 1 largely because he didn%26#039;t have the technology to make it the way he wanted it and he couldn%26#039;t get the backing. He was able to get the backing and created a lot of the technology to make Episode 4 - which is the first movie created, but the fourth in the chronology of the series. The movies were released in this order 4 - 5 - 6 - 1 - 2 - 3.)





Now, as far as the books go, there are over 100 books to choose from. This applies to the adult titles - there is a whole separate world of Young Adult and Children%26#039;s stories as well. If you pick up any of the most recently published titles (Legacy of the Force) and look in the first few pages, you will see a complete timeline for all the books that have been published, starting with 1000 years before the events of Episode 4 up to 40 or so years after.





There are basically two types of books - those featuring the main characters and those featuring new or peripheral characters from the movies.





I will start with the main character series and novels. These continue the story between the movies and after the movies and contain many good books and/or series. Of these books, I recommend the following (listed in order as they appear in the timeline):


Rogue Planet


Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader


The Han Solo Trilogy - The Paradise Snare, The Hutt Gambit, Rebel Dawn (a must read if you are a Han Solo fan)


The Courtship of Princess Leia


Tatooine Ghost


The Thrawn Trilogy - Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command (these are among the best books written in the series and should definitely be included)


The Jedi Academy Trilogy - Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice, Champions of the Force


The Hand of Thrawn Duology - Specter of the Past, Vision of the Future


The New Jedi Order - 17 books in this series. More dramatic than the movies and the events are much more tragic and life-altering to the characters.





These books in large part, fill out and complete the story of the lives of Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke, Chewie, the droids and plenty well loved and great new characters.





I haven%26#039;t really been able to get into the character novels that take place between The Phantom Menace and A New Hope, but you may want to check some of those out as well.





However, I have greatly enjoyed the novels that include new and/or peripheral characters to the movies and recommend that you also include these titles in your reading list:


Path of Destruction: Darth Bane and Rule of Two (a must read if you are interested in Sith mythology/history)


Republic Commando series - Hard Contact, Triple Zero, True Colors (about clone troopers and two young Jedi generals leading them, if you are a Jango Fett/Boba Fett fan, these will probably interest you)


X-Wing series - 9 book series (see inside books for series order) (Wedge rebuilds Rogue Squadron with new characters and take on new missions)


I, Jedi - another of the best books in the Star Wars universe (about the training and apprenticeship of Corran Horn)





Hopefully all this information doesn%26#039;t scare you off from reading these books. For the most part, the books are very well written and keep you occupied for a very long time.





Also, you don%26#039;t necessarily need to read all the books in timeline order, however, you should read any books in a series in the series order. You can start with books/series about your favorite characters and fill in with other books or series when you are ready.





Good luck and enjoy.

Well, I need a catchy title.?

It%26#039;s for a story I%26#039;m writing about a girl that develops Stockholm Syndrome. Any help or suggestions are greatly appriciated. I kind of wanted to go with the theme of being someone you don%26#039;t know, like Mirror, Mirror, but obviously that title is a bit of a snorefest.... Thanks so much.

Which book should I chose?

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston


The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway


The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger


Black Boy by Richard Wright


The Jungle by Upton Sinclair





well, I have to read a book from the list and basically write notes in it, and highlight stuff, which book do you think would be best?


I would really apriciate if you could tell a bit about the book you recomend, and they have to be from the list above





thnx alot


鈾?br>Which book should I chose?
The old man and the sea. Hemingway is personally one of my favorite writers and his work is really beautiful. If not, then my second choice would be Catcher in the Rye...simply because, it%26#039;s a classic.
Which book should I chose?
Some people Love the catcher in the Rye, and others hate it with a passion. When I read the old man and the sea, I found it to be a remarkably long book despite the fact that it doesn%26#039;t have very many pages. I bored me slighty. Their eyes were watching God is by far my favorite from that list (of the one%26#039;s I%26#039;ve read) hope that helps!
Reply:The Jungle : )
Reply:I haven%26#039;t read any of them, but I have read other Hemingway, which I really enjoy. His style tends to be very short sentences and have very masculine main characters. I don%26#039;t tend to like %26quot;chick lit,%26quot; so I enjoy Hemingway%26#039;s style.





I%26#039;ve heard of all of them, though, and find that most are split on liking/disliking them. Most people I%26#039;ve talked to enjoy %26quot;The Catcher in the Rye.%26quot;
Reply:The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger. In my opinion no other books captures adolescent angst than this one. Its short and lots of fun to read. Plus its really cute specially in the end. Look this book up on Wikipedia.org for more info on it.
Reply:I am a big Hemingway fan, so read Old Man and the Sea...Besides, he won the Noble Prize for this story, so it%26#039;s a classic....

A bunch of questions on writing?

Hi, answers.





Many many many questions on a new piece that has come to my mind. I have finally dropped an idea that I stuck with for nearly a year (only temporarily though), and I%26#039;ve decided on writing a simpler, light-hearted story.





The story stars a young, rookie magician (name undecided - we%26#039;ll just call her Emily for now) and her cat (named Poof), on a journey to become skilled and popular. The pair face rejection, bad luck, poor financial condition, backstabbing, and many other unfortunate events.





This is what I need help with:


- Emily%26#039;s actual name. I would prefer something one or two syllables long, and, if you can, a name with a rather magical meaning.


- Story%26#039;s title. I probably didn%26#039;t give you enough to work with, so don%26#039;t worry about answering this one.


- I need more events for the story. I want to get this off the ground as soon as possible, but I%26#039;m at a loss as to the majority of what happens.


- I appreciate any extra things you would like to add.
A bunch of questions on writing?
maybe a name like justice, charity...i don%26#039;t know





uh...something about magic for the title---just like magic---my magical adventure (thats kinda cheesy though)
A bunch of questions on writing?
Amber. Miranda.





Add some more characters! I think that secondary characters are very important. You have to set up your world. You have a lot to develop on your story so figure that out first. I%26#039;m not sure what advice I can give until you figure out more. Where is it? What is the time period? Why is it so important to become skilled and popular? Popular, what do you mean by that? Who will help her? What is the target audience? I hope to give you more help once you answer those. :D Good luck!
Reply:1) i liket he name Stella [like stars kind of], Clover, Alice [not two syllables but sounds really pretty]. you could name her after something, like Rain or Skye and make it so that her magic relates to that


-um, maybe Bad Luck or possibly Disappearing Act or Invisible. that%26#039;s waht cfomes to mind but who knows. i read a book about magicians called The Rope Trick andit was like the most valued trick. maybe you can relate.


- maybe Poof goes missing or has kittens [awww, so cute], or maybe she%26#039;s forced to work for a magic company.


- i hope you add tarot in there. magicians that play tarot are cool.


- I WANT TO READ IT! when you are done email me what it%26#039;s called and your name [author]. :D score, i got a good book to read

My cat eats woolen things, what should I do?

His real name is Kao K%26#039;o-Kung, but he%26#039;s called Koko for everyday purposes. He is Siamese. He licks photos and envelopes, too. One day he chewed up a dollar%26#039;s worth of postage stamps. But the cloth is bothering me most.


At first I thought that it was moth that got into my things and made hole in all my woolen ties. But then I caught Koko eating Danish Modern chair, upholstered with green wool, and understood that it was him. I am worried about Koko%26#039;s health - he may have indigestion, or maybe even die because of this. Plus, I am subletting an apartment in a posh area, in Villa Verandah, it was done by a fashionable interior designer, and that chair costs a lot of money. I will never be able to replace it on my salary of a newsman. What should I do?
My cat eats woolen things, what should I do?
call your vet and ask if there is a spray.. i used the same sour apple spray they use with dogs to train them from chewing..





also a plain spray water bottle does work when you can catch the cat.. it sounds like the cat is bored.. honestly.. get toys
My cat eats woolen things, what should I do?
hope he pukes up an angora sweater! sorry joking,....





jessylynn is right--bitter apple spray and a squirt gun/bottle do help alot!
Reply:Don%26#039;t worry, things will be looking up soon. I predict a change in fortune. Meanwhile, pay attention to what Koko is saying. I think he%26#039;s a Cat Who will help you in mysterious ways.
Reply:Yes, sour apple spray works great. *points at the first answer*





It smells like alcohol for a little while, but it helped me train my cat off of hiding under moving easy chairs and chewing on our Christmas tree. Even if it%26#039;s not actually something they chew on, it%26#039;s great for keeping cats out of places they shouldn%26#039;t go - mine can%26#039;t stand the smell of it.
Reply:Get another cat that you will name Yum Yum %26amp; start solving mysteries, that should take his mind off the chair until you move to Mooseville. =)
Reply:A newsman could replace so long ago his original Siamese by a fake Bayadere.





. . . as long as for some one the original is more important . . . then it will cost him anything he has to pay . . .

Young adult vamp book suggestions?

ok I%26#039;m addicted to vamp books but making a new book list and I need suggestions on any good vamp books you%26#039;ve read. Here is a list of books I%26#039;ve already read...





Twilight, New moon, Eclipse, Vampire kisses 1-4, The vampire diaries 1-4, Uninvited, The vampire academy 1%26amp;2, the dark angel, in the forests of night, house of night 1-3, peeps, and sweet blood.





I told you I was addicted=D sooooooo any suggestions???

Have you read Ann Rice%26#039;s, %26quot;Interview with a Vampire%26quot;.





It%26#039;s THE vampire book.





By the way, it%26#039;s been proven that people who are into the vampire mythology usually are or turn out to be sociopaths.
Reply:If you liked the Vampire Diaries by LJ Smith, then try the Night World series. It%26#039;s out of print, but you should be able to find used copies online. If you don%26#039;t want used, wait a little while. They%26#039;re going to be reprinting them. The first set is coming out soon, I can%26#039;t seem to figure out exactly when, but definitely this summer. There aren%26#039;t just vampires in the books, but other supernatural creatures as well. My favorite from the series is Secret Vampire.





Also, try The Last Vampire series by Christopher Pike. The main character thinks she%26#039;s the last vampire left in the world (hence the title of the series). She ends up falling in love with a boy. Lots of adventure and some romance.





The Dangerous Girls books by RL Stine aren%26#039;t too bad. I read them a while back, so I don%26#039;t quite remember what they were about.





I%26#039;ve also heard that Blood and Chocolate was good, but I never read it. I watched the movie and that was good!

Reply:Do you mean their names when they were human? Before they were vampires? I don%26#039;t think she tells us specifically, although she did definitely tell Alice%26#039;s human name in New Moon, which was Mary Alice Brandon. So probably they use the names they had as humans and just add a new last name so that they could appear to be related.
Reply:Their full names are never mentioned in the books.

When is Midnight by Stephenie Meyer coming out??

Someone on Yahoo Answers said it was coming out December 2nd....is it true? I thought it was coming out in 2009?? I%26#039;m confused. Thoughts and suggestions (and of course answers!) would be great!! Thanks :)
When is Midnight by Stephenie Meyer coming out??
No, this is false. No one knows when it%26#039;s coming out yet because Stephenie is only half done writting it. And after that it%26#039;ll have to go through the editting process which takes a while. It probably won%26#039;t be out for another year and a half.
When is Midnight by Stephenie Meyer coming out??
There is no set date.


Stephenie said it will probably come out 2009/10.


Her priorities are Breaking Dawn and the Twilight movie.

Reply:She has not said when she is going to release it. But she did say it will be a while until it is finished.
Reply:June 2008 Update: In response to the outrageous number of emails that I have received with questions concerning Midnight Sun, I talked to Stephenie this weekend and she asked me to let everyone know that Midnight Sun is her next project. She has not yet finished writing it (and there is no timeline set up, so we all need to put a lot of effort into being patient for a while longer), but she is definitely still planning on having it published. And, after Breaking Dawn comes out, Stephenie will have much more time to focus on writing Midnight Sun.

Does it matter if you read the star wars books in order or not?

I want to start reading star wars but i%26#039;m confused if it matters if i should read them in order and by which author. please help me out.
Does it matter if you read the star wars books in order or not?
It depends. Generally, it helps to read the books within a series or trilogy in order, like all the New Jedi Order books in order, or all the X-wing books in order. It%26#039;s not really practical to read the separate groups of books in order, and it%26#039;s certainly not necessary.





As far as authors go, I would recommend anything written by Timothy Zahn as a starting point. He%26#039;s widely considered in SW fandom to be one of the best authors, and he%26#039;s written many of the books. And personally? I think his books are awesome.





If you%26#039;re looking for kid%26#039;s books, though, try Jude Watson or Kevin J. Anderson.





SW books are awesome. ^^ Hope you find some you like and enjoy them.
Does it matter if you read the star wars books in order or not?
You don%26#039;t necessarily need to read all the books in order according to the timeline in the front of the books. However, if you are reading a series, you will want to read those in order.





Also, for some of the major series, you may want to stay in rough timeline order. For example, read the Thrawn Trilogy and Duology and Jedi Academy Trilogy before starting on The New Jedi Order and Legacy of the Force. They help explain some of the things that happen later.





For the stand-alone books or the smaller series, you can fit these in wherever.





You will definitely want to read any of the Timothy Zahn books, as these are considered among the best in the series. Other books that I really liked and recommend are The Han Solo Trilogy, I Jedi, Tatooine Ghost and the Republic Commando and X-Wing series.





There are plenty of books to explore, and for the most part they are very good. So just jump in and enjoy.

Anybody know any good books/authors?
Here are some of my favorite teen and some adult-ish novels:





Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It%26#039;s about a girl named Bella who moves to Forks, Washington and runs into a group of vampires. VERY VERY good! I REALLY think you should give it a chance because I%26#039;m not into vampire stuff, but it was AMAZING!


http://stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html





Pants On Fire by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about a girl who basically has everything (popular best friend, good grades... and TWO boyfriends.) It%26#039;s really funny because then her friend from eighth grade come back to town (everyone hates him) and she falls head over heals for him too.


http://www.megcabot.com/





Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares. It%26#039;s about four girls who where born as friends. They go through ups and downs together.





The Last Summer (Of You and Me) by Ann Brashares was amazing. It may be more of an adult book, but it was fairly good.





All-American Girl and All-American Girl Ready Or Not by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about an outcast girl who happens to save the presidents life. Suddenly everyone at school wants to be her friend, but she doesn%26#039;t really care... What she does care about is the presidents son...





Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about a girl who goes over seas with her boyfriend after (almost!) finishing college. After a bad break up with him, she goes with her friend and runs into someone.... It%26#039;s a very good adult book!





How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about a girl who comes across an old book in her grandma%26#039;a attic called how to be popular. So, she follows the rules of the book hoping to become popular.





Jinx by Meg Cabot. If you liked Twilight, then you%26#039;ll like this book. It%26#039;s about a girl who has bad luck all the time so she moves in with her aunt and uncle. He sister is into witchcraft and I don%26#039;t want to spoil the rest, but it fairly good.





Teen Idol by Meg Cabot. This is about a girl who has an advice column in her school newspaper. So, when a famous actor comes to her school and she%26#039;s the only one who knows about it, chaos occurs!





Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen is also pretty good. It%26#039;s about two girls that are best friends who are having a few issues in the love department.

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen is one of my favorites! It%26#039;s about a girl who had something terrible happen to her and she%26#039;s learning how to cope with it and befriends an outcast boy.





The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. I%26#039;ve only read the first two, but they are VERY good. It%26#039;s about a girl named Suze who moves to California from New York because her mother just remarried. Oh, and Suze can see ghosts...





13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. It%26#039;s about a guy named Clay who gets these tapes in the mail about why a girl named Hannah killed herself. It%26#039;s very good and a great page-turner!


http://www.thirteenreasonswhy.com/





She Went All The Way by Meg Cabot. This is a book for more mature people, but it%26#039;s very good. It%26#039;s about two people who get stranded in the wilderness.





Forever... by Judy Bloom is also pretty good. It%26#039;s about a girl getting a boyfriend and going through sensual things. It%26#039;s a little mature.





Nick and Norah%26#039;s Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is okay. My friends LOVED it! I don%26#039;t wanna tell you what it%26#039;s about because it%26#039;ll just give it all away.





The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It%26#039;s about how these things called souls invade Earth, as well as humans. It%26#039;s based on a soul named Wanda who is placed into Melanie, who refuses to fade away like she%26#039;s suppose too. It%26#039;s very interesting and I totally recommend it!

Good luck with finding a book! I hope these help!
Anybody know any good books/authors?
It sounds like you would like the twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. Theres:


Twilight


New Moon


Eclipse





Description of Twilight: A human girl falls in love with a vampire. May sound creepy but is really good!
Reply:Stephenie Meyer(twilight,new moon,eclipse)Laurie halse Anderson(speak,fever 1793)
Reply:You seem to like a moderately wide array of books. So, I%26#039;ll offer suggestions of books that are categorized by genres...





For horror/suspense:


-H.P. Lovecraft%26#039;s short stories, such as %26quot;The Dunwich Horror,%26quot; %26quot;The Dreams in the Witch-House,%26quot; %26quot;The Shadow Over Innsmouth%26quot; etc...many of his stories have an excellent spook factor and eerie endings (and there are some excellent books that are collections of Lovecraft%26#039;s greatest works)


-Books by Dean Koontz - I%26#039;ve heard Watchers is good, which is why I%26#039;m working on that right now. Watchers involves the consequences of a top-secret government laboratory genetically altering two creatures - one a very intelligent dog and one a savage, violent monster. Koontz%26#039;s books have excellent suspense and even some mystery and horror intertwined in them.





For fantasy/fiction:


-The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien


-The Lord of the Rings trilogy by Tolkien


-The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis


-I don%26#039;t know how old you are, but when I was a little younger I liked a lot of Tamora Pierce%26#039;s series. My favorite series of hers was always Circle of Magic (which has four books, each one revolving around a kid with a special power...). I also heard her The Song of the Lioness series was good, which is about a girl trying to become a knight. (You don%26#039;t have to be young to enjoy her books/series...).


-For something a little more mature, perhaps, you could try George R.R. Martin%26#039;s fantasy novels/series. I have actually never read his stuff, but my dad enjoys his works (and so do many others I%26#039;ve talked to...). One fantasy series of his that is popular is called A Song of Ice and Fire.





For historical fiction (a lot of these contain underlying romance, as well):


-Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery (it has eight books overall, the first one being Anne of Green Gables). This series takes place in the early 1900s, and is about a hot-headed, stubborn orphan girl who finds a way of fitting into the little town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island...


-Any of the books by Jane Austen, such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, etc...Most of her books are about women of the 1800s and their attempts at fitting into society and finding romance/love, if you didn%26#039;t already know.


-Little Women by Louisa May Alcott - This is about four sisters in the 1860s, and it portrays how the sisters grow up, find romance/love, etc...





For something a little more classic, perhaps:


-Gulliver%26#039;s Travels by Jonathan Swift - This is about a sailor (I believe he was a ship captain) who, throughout the book, ends up in four different, interesting lands. One of the lands is inhabited by tiny people, one by giants, one by horses who talk, and one land floats in the air...





For Sci-Fi:


-books by Kurt Vonnegut, such as Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat%26#039;s Cradle, etc...His books contain ideas like time travel, aliens, etc.





Best wishes!
Reply:Try anything by Dean Koontz.


He mostly writes suspense thrillers and some horror but all with a sense of humor and writing that just draws you in.
Reply:Although it has already been recommended several times, i would definitely suggest Twilight.


--the riveting and darkly seductive tale of forbidden romance between an average human girl and a vampire.


I would also recommend:





Quest for a Maid- Story of old Scottish kings and sorcery, absolutely fascinating.





Ophelia- The bride of deranged Hamlet, as told from the eyes of Ophelia, sort of like a published version of fanfiction, since it was derived from from Shakespeare%26#039;s Hamlet.





A Countess Below Stairs- A Russian princess exiles herself to England to be a housemaid for a rich family and ends up falling in love with the young owner of the house.

This Lullaby - Remy, Jess, Chloe, and Lissa are friends (sort of) and now it is the summer between high school and college.
