Ghost's really long list of recommended books

[ghost]

Not even kidding, this is my extremely long list of recommendations, and it will be added to periodically...and if you've read some of these, oh my god, I will love you to death. Seriously.

• Venomous by Christopher Krovatin - Seriously love this book. It's like...amazing, and the nerd in me really loves the comic book type references.
  
• Looking for Alaska by John Green
  
• An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
  
• Paper Towns by John Green
  
• Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green AND David Levithan (my favorite so far)
  
• Stardust by Neil Gaiman
  
• Let Me In by John Avide Lindqvist - Kind of adultish themes, but it's the book the semi-recent vampire movie was based off. It was pretty epic.
  
• Tantalize by Cynthia Letitch Smith
  
• Eternal by Cynthia Letitch Smith
  
• Blessed by Cynthia Letitch Smith - Going to speak about all three books now. Tantalize, Eternal, and Blessed are pretty much Epic. I will admit I read Twilight. The books I could handle, though I think Anne Rice and Dracula are better, but this series, oh my god. Cynthia puts a couple new spins on old myths, but the vampires are true blood drinkers, and there's none of the sparkling. There are were's, but there are a whole bunch of different kinds, like weredeers, and werebears, and yeah, a couple werewolves too, but it's not what you'd expect....oh, and there's Angels. I'm sorry, a vampire novel with Angels. MADE. MY. LIFE. Also helps that the books are mostly set in Texas, and I'm a Texan...and I wrote the author on Myspace, and she sent me autographed stuff.
  
• Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
  
• Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick
  
• Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick - Again, talking about the entire series. Fallen Angels. Epic Battles. Teen Romance. God, I was in love, oh, and there's a new book coming out soon. Seriously happy with this series.
  

I have more, but I think I'll stop here for now, because my memory is blah, and I'm about to start in on comic books, and let's not go there.

Hush Hush is in the mail on its way to me and I have Crescendo. Just need to go out and buy Silence so I can get started on that series

If you like vampires and general badass-ness, I recomment Julie Kagawa's Blood of Eden series. The first in the series is the only one currently out and is called The Immortal Rules. It's seriously amazing. And if you're not into vampires, it might just change your mind.
Basic premise: vampire dystopia. Vampires run everything. Humans are blood cattle, except the ones who refuse and live in poverty. But even they aren't safe from the rabid vampires.
Sososososo good
