Question by Hope Remains: In your opinion, what books are a must-read?
I’m planning on buying new books. I usually read Fantasy, Fiction, Mystery, Action, Adventure and I don’t mind a bit of Drama and Romance when it’s not the main focus of the story. What books should I read next?
I would appreciate it if the books are appropriate for a 16 year old girl.
One more thing, are these books good?
Forgotten by Cat Patrick.
Enclave by Ann Aquirre.
13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher.

“Fossilized Customs” by Lew White
The Book Thief, The Catcher In The Rye, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Hunger Games
The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood is really great. It’s got lots of drama, mystery, and action, and it’s set way in the future. I read it this year and I’m 15.
I’ve read 13 Reasons Why and Forgotten. I liked Forgotten a lot more. But both were really good.
Hope I helped 🙂
The Chaos Walking trilogy- Patrick Ness
The Hunger games-Suzanne Collins
The Forest of hands and teeth-Carrie Ryan
Eragon-Christopher Paolini
Noughts and Crosses-Malorie Blackman.
The book Theif- Can’t remember the author!
These are all off of the top of my head, but they really stick out as fabulous books! I actually haven’t heard of either of the three you mentioned though, sorry!
simply the twilight saga 🙂
The Hunger Games trilogy (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay) by Suzanne Collins
Pretty Little Liars
Blue is For Nightmares series by Laurie Stolarz
The Shiver trilogy (Shiver, Linger, Forever) by Maggie… something….lol. But, I have to tell you, this is romancy. It’s about werewolves, but an IMPORTANT part of the story is romance. Just warning you.
The Outsiders (if you haven’t already read it; it’s a classic… amazing) by S.E. Hinton
Those are the best of the best for me. But… I don’t read that much, so I don’t know if you’l enjoy them. The thing is, I can be an avid reader if it’s a book I like. These, I like. Good luck! 🙂

———————————-I don’t know about the books you had up there, but Ithink they might be.
-Harry Potter, obviously.
-The Gemma Doyle trilogy (starting with ‘A Great and Terrible Beauty)
-The Long Walk
-The Hunger Games
-1984
-Memoirs of a Geisha
-The Perks of Being a Wallflower
-Unwind
-Clockwork Angel
-City of Bones (though the third book is pretty boring)
They’re not all necessarily ‘must-reads’, but they’re all quite good.
BQ:
-I’ve never read this.
-It’s pretty good. An interesting concept, but the second-part is a bit slow.
-I’ve tried to read it and couldn’t, but I’ve heard it’s good.
