The Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charline Harris
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
Dan Brown's books
Hoot by Carl Hiassen
Holes by Louis Sachar
Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede (though you might be too old for it)
Kelley Armstrong's Books (my favorite was Bitten*, but if you're more into the "non-horror" fantasy, you'll appreciate Dime Store Magic, Stolen, and just about every other book she's written)
Touch the Dark by Cassandra Palmer was surpringly good
Fairy Wars series by Herbie Brennan
Abarat by Clive Barker
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
Tithe* by Holly Black

How Not To Be Popular by Jennifer Ziegler. I just finished it. Loved it. Also it is about this girl her parents are like hippies. And they keep moving. She hates moving now but when she was a child she loved it. She just moved away from Portland and left behind her best friend and her boyfriend. Now her parents and her are moving to Austin Texas. Really good book. Trust me.

A Great and Terrible Beauty Series:
First book: A Great and Terrible Beauty
Second Book: Rebel Angles
Third Book: The Sweet Far Thing
-Is a wonderful series and is one of the few that doesn't focus around vampires and love
The Shopaholic Series:
1: Confessions of a Shopaholic
2: Shopaholic Takes Manhattan
3: Shopaholic Ties The Knot
4: Shopaholic and Sister
5: Shopaholic and Baby
-They are really great and interesting stories, nothing like I have read before.
Well I really love these books.
1. If I Have a Wicked Stepmother Where's My Prince? -Interesting. Kinda like, "Cinderella" except it's about a teenage girl.
2. Confessions of a Not-it Girl. -Very hilarious
3. Notes from the Midnight Driver. -La la Love it. Very funny, so funny!
4. The Wish List. -Really good!
5. Define "Normal". -Love this book! <3
6. Uglies Series. -Really good.
7. The Host. -Good, but some people don't like it because it's written by Stephenie Meyers.
These are all I could think of right now.
How Not To Be Popular by Jennifer Ziegler. I just finished it. Loved it. Also it is about this girl her parents are like hippies. And they keep moving. She hates moving now but when she was a child she loved it. She just moved away from Portland and left behind her best friend and her boyfriend. Now her parents and her are moving to Austin Texas. Really good book. Trust me.
Also Peeps and its sequel The Last Days.
Harry Potter!!! You liked Percy Jackson, you'll LOVE Harry!
The Inheritance cycle
I would try James Clavells Shogun. Its a good period drama set in the sengoku jidai period of Japan.
Other then that any book by Robert Harris will do.
The Thirteenth Tale . by Diane Setterfield .
or The Faerie Door .
I'm pretty sure you'll love the second one, if you liked Fablehaven .
:)
