Okay here we go.


 * The Harry Potter series - Probably some of the most amazing things I have ever read. My least favorites: the second and fourth. My favorites: the seventh and third. People build an emotional feeling for this series by starting with realizing how horrible Harry's life is, building an emotional connection to him, and watching him move on.  Tons of characters, tons of information, but presented in a way you can remember it.


 * Twilight Series - Hate was derived on this series simply because the "Team Jacob" and "Team Edward" Fangirl thing got people SO annoyed... Plus Kristen Stewart's lack of acting skill. However, the books were not all that bad. My favorite, Eclipse. My least favorite, New Moon. New Moon gets so boring during the middle.


 * Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series - These five books are practically amazing. It also helped me ace the Mythology portion of Freshman English. Lots of characters, and great character development.


 * The Hunger Games Series - I've only read the first one, but it definitely goes up there with great books. I can only speak for the first one now, but it's easy to read, very fast (I read it in a weekend).


 * Nineteen Minutes - A fictional story about a school shooting in New Hampshire. Would not recommend it for younger readers. A bullied kid comes into school and starts shooting some kids, most who bullied him. It keeps flip flopping time to see how the kid became the way he was, and there is a surprise twist at the end.


 * My Sister's Keeper - I read this book in less than a day. I just loved it so much. It's about a girl with cancer and her younger sister. The younger sister must give blood and other things to the older sister to help the older sister through the cancer, and the younger sister finally gets sick of it. A surprise twist at the end. Hated the movie, they completely changed the ending.


 * Romeo and Juliet - On Romeo and Juliet, you have to pick a side. You hate it and think it's stupid, or you absolutely love it and the love story that goes along. I am the latter. An amazingly brilliant story that has some of the greatest writing talent known to man. A bittersweet ending. Bitter because Romeo and Juliet kill themselves, sweet because the Capulet's and Montague's finally settle their differences (sorta).


 * Esperenza Rising - A book with a tragic beginning. I like it because some spoiled girl finally becomes aware that the world does not revolve around her.


 * Princess Academy - A good one for young kids, I don't remember much, but I do remember that I loved it, and when I was younger it went into a prized book collection of mine.
