Well first off don't read twilight, it sucks! its boring and silly for about 99% of the book and only 1% is really good and fun. out of the books that are in the GMBA you should read a certain slant of light and looking for alaska, they are fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to read some more, I am also reading glass castle right now, it is realy good too. But does anyone know about the rest?

Which Book?

So _Airborn_ is a really fun fantasy...very well written & the details make it a believable fantasy.

If you want romance, you could try _A Certain Slant of Light_ (2 ghosts fall in love but need bodies to help the relationship move along); _How I Live Now_ (2 cousins fall in love but are separated by an unspecified military conflict); or _Looking for Alaska_ (the girl is unavailable).

If you want fun & adventure with a fast pace, try _Looking for Lubchenko_ or _Runaways_.

If you want coming to terms with your past & autobiographical, try _The Glass Castle_ or _American Born Chinese_.

The great thing about books? If you don't like one, set it down & try another. No one gets hurt. No other relationship is so easy or satisfying.
