I want a good book to read in my summer vacation, but I can't find any.. I'm a huge Kuroshitsuji-fan, and would like to read something along those lines ^__^ - But not a manga though, I want to read a real book. So what I'm asking is a book with supernatural themes, that takes place in the 19th century. Like, for example with paranormal creatures?:-D . And preferably fun as well. Easy to understand for young people (english is not my native language), but not aimed for teens. I hate those!>__<
Thank you!
Answer
'Letters To Elise' by Amanda Hocking is a collection of letters written by a vampire, and he begins his letters in the 19th Century. It is a short book (a novella) and is mostly a romance but should not be too difficult to read. It goes with her 'My Blood Approves' series, which is set in modern times, but Letters To Elise was written to give background information on one of the characters, Peter.
You might also like to try 'The Historian' by Elizabeth Kostova. It is about a girl who researches the Dracula myth and it takes her all around Europe searching for her parents. Really interesting book, I loved it. But you might find it a bit more difficult to read as it is quite long. I can't remember what time period it is set in, but it has a timeless quality and she often dips into the past as she researches.

Hello. I am looking for an awesome book series recommendation.
I LOVED the
HP series,
twilight,
The Millenium Series(Girl With the Dragon Tattoo),
The Red Dragon/Silence of the Lambs,
Hunger Games series
The Help (Not a Series)
I know I listed a variety, but I don't mind different genres. I just enjoy a cast of characters that I can get to know and fall in love with. Something that will keep me coming back for more. help me please.
FYI - I read the Gregor the Underlander & Bartemeaus series and didn't care much for them.

The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray might pique your interest - it takes place in 19th century England and has quite a bit of fantasy to it. It also has a hint of romance, but that's only a subplot. They're one of my all-time favourite book series'.
⢠Book One: A Great and Terrible Beauty ~ http://www.amazon.com/Great-Terrible-Beauty-Gemma-Trilogy/dp/0385732317/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260626939&sr=1-1
⢠Book Two: Rebel Angels ~ http://www.amazon.com/Rebel-Angels-Gemma-Doyle-Trilogy/dp/0385733410/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260626939&sr=1-3
⢠Book Three: The Sweet Far Thing ~ http://www.amazon.com/Sweet-Thing-Gemma-Doyle-Trilogy/dp/0440237777/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260626939&sr=1-4
Also, I've heard great things about the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. It's in the same vein as Harry Potter, just with the addition of Greek gods and goddesses. I haven't read it yet, but I'm planning to. According to the Amazon reviewers, it's pretty good. Plus, it's being made into a movie sometime next year.
⢠Book One: The Lightning Thief ~ http://www.amazon.com/Lightning-Thief-Percy-Jackson-Olympians/dp/0786838655/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260627075&sr=1-5
⢠Book Two: The Sea of Monsters ~ http://www.amazon.com/Monsters-Percy-Jackson-Olympians-Book/dp/1423103343/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260627075&sr=1-7
⢠Book Three: The Titan's Curse ~ http://www.amazon.com/Titans-Curse-Percy-Jackson-Olympians/dp/1423101480/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260627075&sr=1-6
⢠Book Four: The Battle of the Labyrinth ~ http://www.amazon.com/Battle-Labyrinth-Percy-Jackson-Olympians/dp/1423101499/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260627075&sr=1-4
⢠Book Five: The Last Olympian ~ http://www.amazon.com/Last-Olympian-Percy-Jackson-Olympians/dp/1423101472/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260627075&sr=1-3
Finally, the His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman is also wonderful. Many dislike it because it has slightly atheist themes, but as long as you're not a rabid Christian with such a narrow mind that you can't even awknowledge that it's fiction, you should be fine.
⢠Book One: The Golden Compass / The Northern Lights (depending on where you're from) ~ http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Compass-Anniversary-Materials-Rough-cut/dp/0375838309/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260628454&sr=1-1
⢠Book Two: The Subtle Knife ~ http://www.amazon.com/Subtle-Knife-Dark-Materials-Book/dp/0440238145/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260628503&sr=1-1
⢠Book Three: The Amber Spyglass ~ http://www.amazon.com/Amber-Spyglass-Dark-Materials-Book/dp/0440238153/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260628524&sr=1-1
Good luck and happy reading!
