I'm Going Book Shopping!

[Harmony]

So, for my birthday, I just got tons of money and what else is there to do with it besides go bookshopping? I have a HUGE wishlist on Amazon but I'm always looking for recommendations.

So does anyone have any suggestions? I'd prefer for the books to be in paperback so I don't have to spend as much. I'll probably actually use Amazon's Used Book thing or Ebay, though.

I'm considering getting the rest of The Faerie Path series, since I only have the first one. I also need to get the first books in a few series I have sequels too.

But I really love suggestions too, so throw them my way

I didn't love The Faerie Path, though I think the second and third books are better, so it's worth reading.

Suggestions...what do you like to read and what have you read?

[Harmony]

I pretty much love everything YA. Drama and romance are my favorites, though I like "heavier" stuff too. I've recently read Talent by Zoey Dean, Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson, Secrets of My Hollywood Life: On Location, Anatomy of a Boyfriend, Song of the Sparrow, Pact of the Wolves, Writing Magic, The Funeral Director's Son and some others to give you an idea. My favorite authors are Meg Cabot, Sarah Dessen, Stephenie Meyer, and J.K. Rowling.

Does that help?

I'd suggest the Pretty Little Liars series (the first 3 are out in paperback), Dead is the New Black by Marlene Perez, Popular Vote by Micol Ostow, Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith, I Heart You You Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder, the Bard Academy series by Cara Lockwood (HIGHLY recommended), Cindy Ella by Robin Palmer, Secret Life of a Teenage Siren by Wendy Toliver, Bad Kitty by Michele Jaffe, Breaking Up is Hard to Do by Various (anthology), Revenge of the Homecoming Queen and Twisted Sisters by Stephanie Hale, Jenny Green's Killer Junior Year by Amy Belasen and Jacob Osburn, Invisible Touch by Kelly Parra (out in October, but still worth a read), Into the Wild by Sarah Beth Durst, What Happens Here by Tara Altebrando, Burned and Impulse by Ellen Hopkins

Hope that's enough, lol.

Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr is out in paperback now and is a must read. I also loved Model by Cheryl Diamond which is in paperback too. If you haven't read any John Green books, An Abundance of Katherines and Looking For Alaska are out in paperback. I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone is another one that you must read. It's fantastic. The Violet Series by Melissa Walker, Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer, and any Elizabeth Scott books should also be high on your list. Is that enough for you?

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Now I really want all of those (well, the ones I don't have, anyway). Here's what my list looks like right now:

Backstage Pass + On Location - Mary Wilcox (I have books 3 and 4 so I need these)
Why I Let My Hair Grow Out - Maryrose Wood (Have the sequel)
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (I really want to read it before the movie!)
The sequels to Gingerbread by Rachel Cohn
Wicked Lovely - Melissa Marr

And whatever else I can get for .1 plus shipping on Amazon. Or whatever I can buy/trade for in my other thread.

*sigh*
I believe I have an addiction

Yay! I'm so glad you put Wicked Lovely on your list. It's completely fantastic. It'll be worth it, I promise.

Okay, here's what I bought:

The first 2 books in the BFF series by Carol Culver
The first 2 books in the Hollywood Sisters series by Mary Wilcox
Why I Let My Hair Grow Out by Maryrose Wood
Some poetry book thing by Billy Merrell (or something like that. I bought it on impulse...)

^^^Ooo, that's cool, let me know how Billy's book is- did you know he's Nico Medina's boyfriend (soon-to-be-husband)?
