Looking for a new book to read... asked 354 days ago by Laura - 6 answers

I recently bought a Kindle, but apart from mindlessly scanning the bestseller's lists, I'm finding it hard to find a book that's a bit different and unique (and that's available to download on to my Kindle).
I am open-minded to any genre except crime or mystery. I've recently read and enjoyed The Help by Kathryn Stockett, Looking for Alaska by John Green and Atonement by Ian McEwan. I'm also randomly obsessed with Batman graphic novels(?!).
If it helps, I'm a 19 year old girl :)

Before I Fall -- Lauren Oliver
Along for the Ride -- Sarah Dessen
Graceling -- Kristin Cashore
Gone -- Michael Grant
Wake -- Lisa McMann
Forest of Hands and Teeth -- Carrie Ryan
Matched -- Ally Condie

These books are all excellent in my opinion, and all have something a little bit different about them, and are all available on Kindle. Hope there's something there you might like!

Laura (who asked the original question) says:

Thanks Melinda! Planning on reading all your suggestions, they each sound pretty interesting, just what I was looking for :)

Melinda S. says:

Great! If you like them, Gone, Wake, and Forest are part of series. Graceling has a companion novel called Fire that is not quite a sequel, but also excellent, and I heard that there is eventually going to be a sequel to Matched :) Sarah Dessen has a ton of other books if you like her too, though she doesn't do series.

Try "Kane and Abel" by Jeffrey Archer. It was the first book I had ever read by Sir Jeffrey, and that one got me hooked.

This is my answer yo a lot of questions on here, because it's a book I lov (which I discovered thanks to this site) and that I wish were getting more attention: the Song is You, by Arthur Phillip. ALso, the Time Traveler's Wife, and the Guernsey Lietrary and Potato Peel Pie Sociey, and One Day.
