Answer
The Twilight Series - By Stephanie Meyer
{-Twilight-}
{-New Moon-}
{-Eclipse-}
and coming out soon
{-Breaking Dawn-}
^^This is an amazing series based on a romance between a vampire and a human. Sounds corny, but its amazing. I know, because I am officially addicted.
The Dark Is Rising Series - By Susan Cooper
{-Over Sea, Under Stone-}
{-The Dark Is Rising-}
{-Greenwitch-}
{-The Grey King-}
{-Silver on the Tree-}
^^Great. I got given a paperback copy of the series, and I had to go out and buy a hardback one because the paperback one began falling apart because of the number of times I read it. Based on something called the circle, and the battle between light and dark.
The Black Magician Trilogy - By Trudi Canavan
{-The Magician's Guild-}
{-Novice-}
{-The High Lord-}
^^About a slum girl who finds she had magic, and then has to join the magicians guild. But she doesnât want to, and ther are a lot of complication. Great Series.
The Age of the Five - By Trudi Canavan
{-Priestess of the White-}
{-Last of the Wilds-}
{-Voice of the Gods-}
[this series isn't finished yet]
^^Now this is hard to explain⦠But trust me, its great! Canât wait till the rest come out.
The Chronicles of Narnia - By C.S. Lewis
{-The Magicianâs Nephew-}
{-The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe-}
{-The Horse and His Boy-}
{-Prince Caspian-}
{-The Voyage of the Dawn Treader-}
{-The Silver Chair-}
{-The Last Battle-}
^^Now while some might call this a little kids book, I still consider it one of the best series ever written. Trust me on that. I have read it so many times I can quote from it.
The Uglies - By Scott Westerfeld
{-Uglies-}
{-Pretties-}
{-Specials-}
{-Extras-}
^^Looking at the title, this isnât something Iâd normally choose, but it is really good, and not as shallow as the title suggests.
Wideacre Trilogy - By Philippa Gregory
{-Wideacre-}
{-The Favoured Child-}
{-Meridon-}
^^This trilogy is about a patch of land called Wideacre⦠Well, its very good. Just trust me on that.
The Tudor Series - By Philippa Gregory
{-The Other Boleyn Girl-}
{-The Queenâs Fool-}
{-The Virginâs Lover-}
{-The Constant Princess-}
{-The Boleyn Inheritance-}
{-The Other Queen-}
[this is not a series, just a set of books set in the same time]
^^Have you seen the film, the Other Boleyn Girl? Well, this is where it came from! And the book is crap compared to the film in my view. Philippa is an amazing writer.
Alpha Force - By Chris Ryan
{-Survival-}
{-Rat-Catcher-}
{-Desert Pursuit-}
{-Hostage-}
{-Red Centre-}
{-Hunted-}
{-Blood Money-}
{-Fault Line-}
{-Black Gold-}
{-Untouchable-}
^^A very good set of action, adventure books. Not quite the usual turn on things, and very good books.
CHERUB - By Robert Muchamore
{-The Recruit-}
{-Class A-}
{-Maximum Security-}
{-The Killing-}
{-Divine Madness-}
{-Man Vs. Beast-}
{-The Fall-}
{-Mad Dogs-}
{-The Sleepwalker-}
and coming out soon
{-The General-}
^^An organisation which trains kids to be secret agents⦠Need I say more? Well, it might be a bit more aimed at kids, but it is really very good.
Alexander Trilogy - By Valerio Massimo Manfredi
{-Alexander: Child of a Dream-}
{-Alexander: Sands of Ammon-}
{-Alexander: Ends of the Earth-}
^^A story about Alexander the Greats life. Very good. Incorporates mystical sides and everything. My favourite author. I actually recommend everything by him.
Ring Trilogy - By Koji Suzuki
{-Ring-}
{-Spiral-}
{-Loop-}
^^Ever seen the movie The Ring? Well, this is where they got it from. But the books are WAY better. And is has a different twist in the sequels. Very good.
Maximum Ride Series â By James Patterson
{-Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment-}
{-Maximum Ride: Schoolâs Out Forever-}
{-Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports-}
{-Maximum Ride: The Final Warning-}
^^A girl and her "flock"(five other kids) have wings and have to save the world. Action, a bit of romance⦠And for all the girls out there with voices in our heads, we can relate to Max ^_^
The Inheritance Cycle - By Christopher Paolini
{-Eragon-}
{-Eldest-}
and coming out soon
{-Brisingr-}
^^One of the only good dragon stories I know. So many get too⦠Well, animalistic. This is very good, and well. A good read.
Battle Royale - By Koushun Takami
^^Oooooooo. Now I find this one of my favourite books ever. A Japanese class gets taken off to an island, and told they must kill each other, until only one person remains. If they do not kill each other, they all die. And we even get a bit of romance. Aww.
The Book Thief - By Markus Zusak
^^How to describe this⦠I donât know how. But I have limited describing skills. So trust me when I say that a book written from the view point of Death is a good one.
_____________________________
I have very mixed tastes. Historical, Fantasy, Action, Romance, Horror... So there is something of everything in there. I personally would encourage you to read all of them, but I think that might just be a little bit hard ^_^
Have fun reading!
