madcow Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Okay my 14 year old daughter (Hannah) has never been much of a reader, I can't remember her ever finishing a book! But just over a week ago she picked up my copy of Ps I Love You (Cecelia Aherne I think ) and loved it - she read every night and all day Sunday. Now she has aked me to find similar type books to read, this is where you guys come in. Anyone any suggestions? Most of my TBR are crime/thriller and she doesn't want to read those. Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Anything by Cecelia Ahern would be good. I'm a fan of her books, particularly Where Rainbows End and A Place Like Home. Or Mike Gayle's books are quite good - Dinner for Two and Mr Commitment. They all have a chick-lit kind of feel. Quote
Anne Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Maybe she would be one of the girls who loves Twillight? I also love PS I love you, bur the other Cecelia Ahern books are not as good as the first... Quote
Kell Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I've read a fair bit of specifically young adult fiction over the last few years. Some of the ones that stood out for me were: Hearts of Stone - Katherine Ernst The Black Tattoo - Sam Enthoven Vampire Beach series - Alex Duval The Medici Seal - Theresa Breslin Ithaka - Adele Geras Captives - Tom Pow Hitler Quote
KW Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 How about A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks Quote
happyanddandy Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 My 13 nearly 14 year old also rarely reads but 'The Gossip Girl' series have had her glued recently and Louise Rennison books too. There are also 3 books by Grace Dent which went down well and that's about it!! I will look them up after tea Quote
Kenny Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Mabey Eragon series cause I'm almost 14 and I liked the first two but I haven't got it yet mabey I'll get for my birthday. Quote
KW Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Other's my teenagers enjoyed at 14: Caroline B Cooney's TIME series. There are 4 in all ~ wonderful reads - even for Mom!! Quote
Tiger Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 How about Waves by Sharon Dogar? It's a very good book, and can make you feel like you want to cry when Hal finds it hard that his sister's in a coma. Quote
madcow Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks for the recommendations I've compiled a list for Hannah, she now has her own TBR list Quote
wordsgood Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Dropping a hint to Mom are we Kenny??? Mabey Eragon series cause I'm almost 14 and I liked the first two but I haven't got it yet mabey I'll get for my birthday. Sorry Madcow, not much help here myself as I can't remember what I read that long ago! Hope her interest picks up soon though as she really doesn't realize what's she missing out on. Quote
