Ella Enchanted (my favorite book of ALL TIME!!) If your 15 you should like the 'Princess Diares' seris by Meg Cabot, those are really good. as well as 'Size 12 is not fat' (By Meg Cabot) It's a murder mystery. umm 'The secret life of bees' by Sue Monk Kidd is pretty good, it's about life in the 60's. If you like greek myths than the 'Myth~O~Mania' books by Kate McMullan, are pretty good, there the 'real' myths told her way. Very Funny. If you like Adventur i would suggest the Alex Rider seris (first one is called 'Stormbreaker' by Anthoney Ho...something)

Well, that depends a lot on what else you're looking for in  a book.  If you want some romantic overlays, Nora Roberts  has the Three Sisters Trilogy about witches in New England, and another trio about Celtic Gods and Goddesses, Tears of the Moon is the only title that comes to mind.  Mercedes Lackey does some nice Gothic type magic stories, usually listed under sci-fi/fantasy, and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough has a series with Godmother in the title -- great takes on fairy tales.\n\nAs far as more DIY style books relating to magic, Silver Ravenwolf does some nice stuff, To Ride a Silver Broomstick is a great primer.  Anything by Scott Cunningham is very informative -- more reference than practice.\n\nMystery?  You can't go wrong with Elizabeth Peters, check out the Amelia Peabody series.  There are about 15 books relating to the adventures of this Victorian Egyptologist.\n\nAnd just for a good, funny read -- Terry Pratchett.  The Discworld series is fantastic -- magic is part of pretty much all the stories, and there's usually some mystery to be solved.  Try The Witches Abroad.

So many books, so little time!  Just go to the library and start checking out books that intrigue you.  Remember, if you don't like it, nobody says you have to finish it!  I currently  prefer humor:  Terry Pratchett, Christopher More, Jason Fforde...enjoy enjoy!

My favourite books are The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, One Child, Ghost Girl, The Twilight Children, and The Tiger's Child, by Torey Hayden, and George and Sam by Charlotte Moore.\n\nThe Lovely Bones is fiction, beautifully written - an enjoyable and touching read.\n\nThe Torey Hayden books are non-fiction about Torey's experiences with troubled children (a recommended read if you like The Dave Pelzer books, Sickened, The Little Prisoner, The Kid, and Moving on, Behind closed doors, etc.\n\nGeorge and Sam is non-fiction about brothers with autism, as told by their mother.\n\nI'm a bit of a reader.  I'll read anything except girlie trash about shopping and crushes.  Don't mind a bit of Chaucer or Shakespeare even, but my preferences are clear from above.

Do your own homework.  They're both excellent stories... reading them will be enjoyable.  I'm partial to Bierce myself.

Alice Sebold's book "The Lovely Bones" is an interesting twist on the usual mystery.\nCarol O'Connell's "Judas Child" really held my interest.\nI just re-read Carl Hiaasen's "StripTease" and laughed my butt off all over again... it's a mystery in a  Florida setting  with plenty of droll humor thrown in. \nAce Atkins is a new writer to me but I really thought "Dark End of the Street "was a great read.\nAlso "Mary, Mary" by James Patterson.\n "Iron Orchid" by Stuart Woods.\nDon't forget "The DaVinci Code"... a testy subject that is very well written.\nIf you have never read Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" ...it is my favorite book and is simply a spell-binding tale told by a master craftsman. It is the first example of the non-fiction novel and Capote did a bang-up job of creating both mystery and thrilling tension.

Anything by Jane Austen has romance, the old language might cause problems though, excellent books all the same, (pride and prejudice, persuasion etc..) Wuthering heights is brilliant too. For more modern day, try Jemima J by Jane Green, or any of Green's books. Sophie Kinsella's books are fab too.
