The Lovely Bones....It is a great book, I am the mother of teens and I loved it as did my sister who is 8 years older than I am :)
If you haven't read it yet the Twilight series is actually a great series. Stefanie Myers is a wonderful author and her books are so smoothly written and are so easy to get into. She has written her first adult orientated book called The Host but I believe teens would like it too. It is about aliens (I would never have even picked it up but I already knew how good of a writer she is so I took the chance and read it although, like you, I do not like that kind of books. It was one of the best love stories I have read and wasn't gross or scary or anything.
There is also another series of four books that are pretty good. I can't remember the author but the books are called Pretties, Uglies and Specials.....I can't remember the last one.
The Pretty Little Liars series was one that my girls enjoyed too.
Just go to the teen section of your library and you should find some books that you really enjoy. Some of my girls' favorite books are ones they just grabbed off the shelf, without reading the back cover. I have found a lot books that I love this way too. I just go to the section of the kind of book I want to read and just close my eyes and pick one. Some of them have not been very good but a lot of them have been great and I never would have read them if I hadn't have picked them like this. My kids agree with me and they do this with at least one book every time we go to the library.
My oldest daughters favorite book is called The Lullaby. Again, I can't remember the author but you should be able to find it in the teen section at the library. Good luck finding something and happy reading :)

I liked Speak, The Book Thief, 13 Reasons Why, Things Not Seen, The Outsiders, and The Other Side of the Island (this one was okay...) That's all I can think of at the moment.

For a young adult/teen Meg Cabot's young adult books. She is the best author. Also best selling. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), All-American Girl (up coming movie), Jinx, Airhead and more. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her.
If you want more info or any of the authors website's email me.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
It was really well written and a great topic/plot. One of the best books I've read this year.
- 1 decade ago
My wife is partial to the Mary Higgins Clark murder mysteries. Gone with the Wind too. The Wind Blows Backwards and Weeping Willow I've been told were both good.
