Just look for some book recommendations.
Please do not recommend Twighlight Series just because I have got that recommendation a bazillion times.
I prefer books written by females that have strong female characters in them. I can read general nonfiction, fantasy, and sometimes mystery.
Lately I have loved: Julia's Chocolates, Garden Spells, Plain Truth, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Crescent. Well those type of books.
Thank you in advance, going to library tomorrow and love getting reccomendations.

Reply:I strongly recommend "Ella Minnow Pea" by Mark Dunn. Mark's obviously a guy, but he's written a devastatingly clever story, and the main character is quite the resilient and resourceful chick!
You might also consider "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath, "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult, and "The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters" by Elisabeth Robinson.

Reply:Here are some of my favorite teen and some adult novels:
Pants On Fire by Meg Cabot. It's about a girl who basically has everything (popular best friend, good grades... and TWO boyfriends.) It's really funny because then her friend from eighth grade come back to town (everyone hates him) and she falls head over heals for him too.
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Pants-o...
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares. It's about four girls who where born as friends. They go through ups and downs together.
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Sis...
The Last Summer (Of You and Me) by Ann Brashares was amazing. It may be more of an adult book, but it was fairly good.
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Las...
All-American Girl and All-American Girl Ready Or Not by Meg Cabot. It's about an outcast girl who happens to save the presidents life. Suddenly everyone at school wants to be her friend, but she doesn't really care... What she does care about is the presidents son...

Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot. It's about a girl who goes over seas with her boyfriend after (almost!) finishing college. After a bad break up with him, she goes with her friend and runs into someone.... It's a very good adult book!
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Queen-o...

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/How-to-...
Jinx by Meg Cabot. If you liked Twilight, then you'll like this book. It's about a girl who has bad luck all the time so she moves in with her aunt and uncle. He sister is into witchcraft and I don't want to spoil the rest, but it fairly good.
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Jinx/Me...
Teen Idol by Meg Cabot. This is about a girl who has an advice column in her school newspaper. So, when a famous actor comes to her school and she's the only one who knows about it, chaos occurs!
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Teen-Id...
Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen is also pretty good. It's about two girls that are best friends who are having a few issues in the love department.
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Someone...
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen is one of my favorites! It's about a girl who had something terrible happen to her and she's learning how to cope with it and befriends an outcast boy.

The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. I've only read the first two, but they are VERY good. It's about a girl named Suze who moves to California from New York because her mother just remarried. Oh, and Suze can see ghosts...
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Shadowl...
13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. It's about a guy named Clay who gets these tapes in the mail about why a girl named Hannah killed herself. It's very good and a great page-turner!
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Thirtee...
She Went All The Way bu Meg Cabot. This is a book for more mature people, but it's very good. It's about two people who get stranded in the wilderness.
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/She-Wen...
Forever... by Judy Bloom is also pretty good. It's about a girl getting a boyfriend and going through sensual things. It's a little mature.
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Forever...
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is okay. I don't wanna tell you what it's about because it'll just give it all away.
