Can anyone recommend some books for me?

Question

I'm willing to read pretty much anything, as long as its interesting. But to give you an idea of what I like to read, here's some info about my reading interests:

Adventure:
I like Indiana Jones style books or books that have a lot of action in it.
I've read Ender's Game (not sure if this qualifies as a science fiction book or an adventure book or both) and enjoyed it.
I've also read the Harry Potter series, The Hunger Games series, White Fang, Call of the Wild and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
Please don't suggest Treasure Island, I just couldn't get into it.

Science Fiction
Pretty much anything about the future and/or outer space and time travel.
I've read Ender's Game (as stated above), Space Cadet, and Podkayne of Mars.

Romance
I don't read too many romance books, but I do enjoy them.
I've read the Twilight series, Pride and Prejudice, Gone With the Wind, Confessions of a Serial Kisser, and the Shopaholic series.

Suspese
Haven't read too many of these types of books, but really interested in them. 
I've read The Adoration of Jenna Fox, Locked In Time, Identical, and a Series of Unfortunate Events.

Horror
Haven't read any books in this genre, but I'm looking for a book with ghosts in it or something similar. 

Thanks!

Dangerous Days and its sequel Blades both by J. William Turner. Realistic fictional autobiographies about teens in several dramatic life and death situations set in Australia, England and California during the years 1981-2001. Each is written as a series of four books (about 100 pages per book) inside a single cover dealing with some gritty adult and social themes.

The Time Traveler's Wife was pretty good, the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris are good, Lamb by Christopher Moore was hilarious, and The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella was unforgettable.

The encyclopedia? Just kidding.

I dread reading books, maybe you should try reading The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. Seems like it might be your style.

If you google up Smashwords you can click on the link to their ebook catalogue - Smashword books come in seven different formats so you can load them into any ebook reader, into Ipads or onto your computer. 
If you like adventure, look for The Long Way Home. I think you would enjoy it.
