 | Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, Book 1) by Richelle Mead
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.88 [reviewed] read / A really interesting new take on the vampire story. Love the foundation Mead has set up and definitely will be reading more of her work now. My only real big beef is that this book had terrible typos and poor editing in many places. 2008

 | Frostbite (Vampire Academy, Book 2) by Richelle Mead
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.95 [reviewed] read / Worked on this between books so it kind of got lost in the shuffle. It is very slow until about 2/3 into the book. Then it gets reeeeeally good. Rose still drives me nuts but her rough relationship with her mom is very relatable making this a great read. 2008

 | Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) by Stephenie Meyer
Buy new: $6.04 / Used from: $5.60 read / OMG this was one of the most boring books I have ever read. You can tell it was written by a mormon. I somewhat can see why teenaged girls are so into this. For the movie they are guaranteed to sex it up and not dress the actors as badly as the characters. AND Bella is the worst heroine I have ever read in a teen/YA novel. She isn't even one dimensional... she's dimensionless. 2008

 | Eragon (Inhertitance) by Christopher Paolini
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.78 read / Written by a kid in my state. Not the greatest story ever told but reads like really good fanfic. I fell in love with Murtagh right away, sadly he was barely in the movie version that came out after I read this. 2006

 | Eldest (Inheritance, Book 2) by Christopher Paolini
Buy new: $10.39 / Used from: $1.94 currently reading / Slowly working at this one when I need a break from my adult reading. It's a long book and while interesting the lack of Murtagh really sucks. This story focuses a lot more on Roran though and he's become a great character so far.

 | Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1) by J.K. Rowling
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01 read / My teenaged forum friends begged me to read the HP books so I began and grew to love them as much as the other adult fanatics. 2002

 | Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2) by J. K. Rowling
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01 read / My least favorite in the entire series. Still a good book, just the least enjoyable one in the lot. 2002
|
 | Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3) by J.K. Rowling
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01 read / One of the more popular in the series and a good book but over-loved IMO. 2002

|
 | Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6) by J. K. Rowling
Buy new: $19.79 / Used from: $0.25 read / With a title like this there was sooo much speculation about who the Half-Blood Prince was. Let me just note I had guessed right before the book came out. Another favorite. 2005
|
 | Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) by J. K. Rowling
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $7.85 read / A fitting end to a really great children's series. I'd have prefered a more grim ending but I'm morbid like that. 2007

 | Rumors: A Luxe Novel (The Luxe) by Anna Godbersen
Buy new: $12.23 / Used from: $10.00 [reviewed] read / Got this one through the Vine program Amazon has. Recently was invited and am giving it a try. So far nothing has been offered I would normally read so I chose this one. It was... dull. Lovely cover but miserably dull. 2008
|
 | Evernight (Evernight Novels) by Claudia Gray
Buy new: $11.55 / Used from: $8.38 [reviewed] read / Another Vine read. But I loved this book. It was predictable but I liked it. I hope there's a sequel. Fans of Vampire Academy & Twilight should read this one. 2008
|
 | Palace of Mirrors by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Buy new: $11.55 / Used from: $9.69 [reviewed] read / Another YA from the Vine program. A good clean fantasy story perfect for that 10-13 age group. Loved the feministic aspect, that the heroines don't NEED heroes to rescue them. 2008
