I'm 15. I am a good reader so don't worry about anything being to hard to read. I generally much prefer more modern books that were released within the last 10 years or so. Examples of books i have read are the Twilight series, The da vinci code, angels and demons, harry potter series, kite runner, shadow in the wind, etc..
Any books you would recommend for me? I like almost every genre there is?
Thanks
xx
BTW are the Gossip Girl books any good? and without giving too much away what are they about coz i don't watch the programme?

great book- Ever, to the outside world, is an ordinary 16yr old girl. But she isn't. Ever since her family died in a ccident she somehow survived back into the world with a gift that she thinks she would be better out- a psychic gift and seeing auras. She wants to be normal, and handsome Damen helps her do exactly that..she tries not to show that she like him, but of course she does..when they touch...when he speaks..he's the only thing in the world. but whats more strange is that he doesn't have an aura. Only dead people dont have aura...but if he isnt dead..what is he?
