littlemisschatterbox answered Sunday June 21 2009, 4:29 pm: Hmm. Those aren't usually the types of books I'm into, so I can't give a great answer, but I think you should look at The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, and obviously the Nancy Drew series. On another note, I realize Twilight may not sound interesting to you, but it isn't fair to call it lame without having read it.

Mmkay, Supernatural book that I really enjoyed were:
THE SUMMONING. - Kelley Armstrong
THE AWAKENING. - " "
A series of books about a girl who can see and talk to the dead, she meets other supernaturals like her, and realize they aren't in the same group home by accident.
THE RESTLESS DEAD. - [various authors] edited by Deborah Noyes
10 Original stories of the supernatural. (I totally love this book.)
GOTHIC HOSPITAL. - Gary Crew
A boy loves reading and finds himself literally inside a story. Strange things are going on at the Gothic Hospital and Johnny needs to find a way out before something horrible happens to him.
UNLEASHED. - Kristopher Reisz
A story about a bunch of mates who find they can turn into wolves, they go round the city tagging things, running a muck. Good book, worth a read.
Some drama books I really enjoyed were:
EXIT HERE. - Jason Myers
A kid on drugs come home from his trip to Hawaii.
Finds things are heaps different and just wants to get them back to normal, his friends are seeing him differently, his girlfriend doesn't want him.... [I totally love this book, read it 4 times]
NOTES FROM THE TEENAGE UNDERGROUND. - Simmone Howell
An awesome book about 3 girls' who are worried their friendship wont last when school is over. [Sound's fair gay, but is actually really cool]
MOSH PIT. - Kristyn Dunnion
My favorite book of all time, a punk chick named Simmone torn between her loyalties to her best friend/coke addict and her feelings for Carol. A
raw look at punk life. [: Love this book!!
TO SERVE AND SUBMIT. - Susan Wright
In this novel of erotic fantasy, Marja, a child of fens, is schooled as a slave in the arts of seduction and carnal delight. Though frightened at first, Marja grows to love her master and discovers her nature as a true submissive. When he grants Marja her freedom, she learns that not all in the Western Maritime Lands are so kind.

The Host by Stephenie Meyer is good too. You said you didn't like Twilight, but I think you may like the Host because it's more of a science fiction novel. I liked it a lot but I love Twilight too, so who knows if you would like it or not?
You might like Ellen Hopkins' novels. They are pretty sick, but maybe you will be into them if you liked Lovely Bones. Alice Sebold has written some other novels too. You might like them.
The Luxe Series is pretty good. You said you liked fashion, but you also said you didn't like Gossip Girl. So I am not really sure if you would like this series or not, but it's worth a try.
If you haven't read the Harry Potter books, then you should definitely read them. The movies are good, but the books are much better. If you like the movies, then you will love the books.
Jodi Picoult's novels are pretty good too. They always have some kind of twist at the end, and usually there is some kind of suspensful trial going on. You may like some of her novels. I love some, but cannot get into others. I think you would like The Tenth Circle, 19 Minutes, and Plain Truth though. They are some of my favorites by her.
One random novel that I enjoyed quite a big was Drop Dead Gorgeous by Linda Howard. It's a series, and I don't think that was the first one, but it was a good mystery book.
Dean Koontz is a famous mystery author. I haven't read any of his novels, but I have heard nothing but good things about him. Obviously his books are serious page turners. So I would try one of his novels out if I were you.
I could keep going, but I gave you quite a few to choose from. If you would like some more, leave me a question in my inbox letting me know. :) [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
