Anybody know of some good books? I'm seventeen and a girl and I like romance books and stuff like that but I hate books about popularity and stuff like that.
The Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling is awesome. There is not a lot of romance in them, but nevertheless it is an amazing set of books. Way better than the movies, and those are good too by the way.
The Luxe series by Anna Godbersen is also good. The whole books are about love. You may like them. There are three out right now. The Luxe, Rumors, and Envy, and the fourth book, Splendor, releases in October.
An older book you may like is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. It's a great book, but it's kind of hard to read. I would suggest watching the movie first so you kind of a have a jist as to what's going on. It makes it easier to understand. If you like this book, you will most likely enjoy all of Austen's novels.
All of Nicholas Sparks' books are amazing. Dear John, The Choice, and Nights in Rodanthe are some of my favorites. Even Now by Karen Kingsbury is really good. It is kind of sad, but it is a very easy read and you will not want to put the book down. The Pact by Jodi Picoult is also good. I'm not a huge fan of Sarah Dessen novels, but a lot of people our age are. So you may check them out too.

SimplyMyself answered Monday September 7 2009, 10:40 pm: The whole Twilight saga =] Definitely not a popularity book. So its Twilight.. New Moon.. Eclipse .. and Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. In my opinion, the movie sucked but the books are fantastic. White Oleander by Janet Fitch, it starts out a little slow but its a great book. The Hollow by Jessica Verday. Nailed by Jennifer Laurens. You've Got Blackmail by Rachel Wright. Another suggestion is to go on amazon.com and type in "romance for teens" and a bunch of selections will come up for you.

christina answered Monday September 7 2009, 5:56 pm: I liked Twilight, but it's not for everyone, especially people who aren't into long reads.
I would definitely suggest Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Not quite a romance book, but it's about rape, and it's a really amazing book.
Teach Me by R.A. Nelson is sort of a romance book. The main character has an affair with a teacher. That book was so good that it's become one of my favorites.
Impulse by Ellen Hopkins has hints of romance but is about something much deeper. It's written in verse though so if you don't really like poetry too much it won't work out for you.
I suggest Breathing Underwater by Alex Flinn. Again, it's about a romance gone wrong, and I love it. You should definitely read all of her books though. She's a great author. :) [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
