>>>>>SPOILERS OF ECLIPSE<<<<

stinkerbella94.
i am like 2 chapters into the third.
the first two books were so hard to put down but the third is like a recap of the end of the second.
i know i'll be fine once i get to when bella graduates.
but until that point i don't think it'll be easy.
and i don't wanna skip ahead because i don't want to go too far and miss something.
then be at the end of the book like ugh.
how did that happen.
you know?

did you read all 3?

i was just wondering.

I always liked Agatha Christie, the Harry Potter Series, and Stephen King books in high school. Actually, I still do. Here's A Link To A List Of Stephen King's Written Works:

I would definitely recommend The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King if you haven't read it yet.

Here are some ideas:

- If you like things outside the box that make you think, try Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series. The first book is The Eyre Affair (but you don't necessarily need to have read Jane Eyre to enjoy this book). I can't recommended these books enough! It takes place in parallel universe, with time travelling, book travelling, and even quite a bit of humor.

-There is a new series called Hallowmere by Tiffany Trent. The first book is out and is called something like "In the Serpent's Coils". It is rather gothic, in the vein of "A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray. You might want to check this out. It doesn't take place in the present like the Twilight series, but the atmosphere is somewhat similar in some ways.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini
A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz
Peeps by Scott Westerfeld

For outside the box, you might like:

"A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore
"Anansi Boys" by Neil Gaiman
"Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk
"Threshold" by Caitlin R. Kiernan

Could you be more specific about what type and whose music you like? There's a really good chance that my idea of good music and yours, while both equally valid, are miles apart.

I enjoy James Patterson a lot. I probably starting reading him when I was 16 or 17. He's exciting and suspensful. Also Janet Evanovich is good.
