Need Book suggestions

Recommended Posts

My daughter wrote down "books" on her Christmas list and for the type, "fantasy, magic, adventure, suspense, mystery, sci-fi".

Anyone have any suggestions on a good book that would fit in those categories or even better, a series of books? She really enjoyed the Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia series. She's a senior in HS and reads at a college level, so pretty much anything would be all right for her to read unless it's XXX!
She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man,
because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon

Mercedes Lackey "Bedlam's Bard and the rest of that series is good.

I like the Dresden Files series (soon to be on Sci-Fi channel
Charlene Harris's southern Vampire novels are ok and aren't just horror
I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

Look into Neil Gaiman's American Gods It has mystery, sci fi, magic, pagans...



I would also strongly recommend any of Neil Gaimans novels, though I would put Stardust ahead of American Gods - one review on Amazon describes it as a 'perfect novel', I would tend to agree!

Also of course, Pullmans Northern Lights trilogy.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Also - phillip pullman?



Very awesome read... teen friendly and easy to get drug into the action. For fantasy I would recomend them both.

Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books are laugh out loud funny!! I believe there are 12 of them.
Ann Rice's Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair Witch books are very good.
My favorite book of all time is Boy's Life by Robert McCammon.
My 19 year old has read the Rice and McCammon books and enjoyed them.
