I'm looking for new books to read this year and I love reading fantasy with action and romance. Here are some books I've already read so you all have some kind of idea what I am talking about.
Harry Potter (all 7)
Narnia (all 7)
The Hero and the Crown
Percy Jackson and the Olympians (currently reading)
Twilight
Lord of the Rings
Eragon (just the first one)
Answer
You may want to try a few more of Robin McKinley's (who wrote The Hero and the Crown) other books.

Tamora Pierce is someone you should look into. Start with her Song of the Lioness Quartet. The first book in the series is Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce:
Eleven-year-old Alanna, who aspires to be a knight even though she is a girl, disguises herself as a boy to become a royal page, a learning many hard less along her path to high adventure.
.....
Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. The first book in the series is The Final Empire:
For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the âSliver of Infinity,â reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison. Kelsier âsnappedâ and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark.
Kelsier recruited the underworld's elite, the smartest and most trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. Only then does he reveal his ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall of the divine despot.
But even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel's plan looks more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into his life. Like him, she's a half-Skaa orphan, but she's lived a much harsher life. Vin has learned to expect betrayal from everyone she meets, and gotten it. She will have to learn to trust, if Kel is to help her master powers of which she never dreamed.

Demon Cycle series by Peter V Brett. The first book in the series is The Painted Man:
Eleven-year-old Arlen lives with his parents on their small farmstead, half a day's ride away from the isolated hamlet of Tibbet's Brook.
As dusk falls upon Arlan's world, a strange mist rises from the ground, a mist carrying nightmares to the surface. A mist that promises a violent death to any foolish enough to brave the coming darkness, for hungry corelings - demons that cannot be harmed by mortal weapons - materialize from the vapours to feed on the living. As the sun sets, people have no choice but to take shelter behind magical wards and pray that their protection holds until the creatures dissolve with the first signs of dawn.
When Arlen's life is shattered by the demon plague, he is forced to see that it is fear, rather than the demons, which truly cripples humanity. Believing that there is more to his world than to live in constant fear, he must risk leaving the safety of his wards to discover a different path.
In the small town of Cutter's Hollow, Leesha's perfect future is destroyed by betrayal and a simple lie. Publicly shamed, she is reduced to gathering herbs and tending an old woman more fearsome than the corelings. Yet in her disgrace, she becomes the guardian of dangerous ancient knowledge.
Orphaned and crippled in a demon attack, young Rojer takes solace in mastering the musical arts of a Jongleur, only to learn that his unique talent gives him unexpected power over the night.
Together, these three young people will offer humanity a last, fleeting chance of survival.

What books should i read over the summer?
emmy
I've been really bored lately and i just love reading but i haven't really found anything interesting to stumble on. I'm really into books like "Pretty little liars", "pretty little devils", "The clique series", "Speak", "Harry Potter", "Gossip Girl", "A child called it", "My bloody life", and "Girl, interrupted". I like books that deal with mystery, drama, romance, horror and teenage angst. I especially love books about high school like the clique series or gossip girl. Any suggestions please?
I also love "That was then, this is Now" and the outsiders.
