oooo I love reading. I remember the first book my grandmother taught me to read when I was 3 or 4- "Hop on Pop". I've always been a good, fast reader. This amazes my best friend who absolutely hates reading! I was impressed she got me a book for my birthday last year- I didn't think she'd be caught in a book store!
Anyways, my recommendations:
Harry Potter
the
Gossip Girl series(there are 3 of them): The characters are all seniors in high school, but its a very good series. I loved it and I'm almost a sophomore in college! Kinda like a young sex and the city.
the
Shopaholic series- Read all three. Loved them
Bridget Jones.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and
The Second Summer of the Sisterhood
However, my favorite book is
Rocket Boys by Homer Hickam. The movie "October Sky" is based on that book(that happens to be my favorite movie too!). Its just a great story- and its true! The sequels are good too:
The Coalwood Way , and
Sky of Stone
