In need of a good book
Apr. 12th, 2011 12:40 pm I feel like I'm spamming LJ. Hopefully my next post will be a fic!
But anyway. I was waiting for my favorite jewelry store to open so I went into Barnes and Noble (bookstore on campus) to kill time and see if I could find a good book. I honestly didn't find many. It seems like there are WAY too many vampire romance books. I browsed through the young adult section (for a laugh) and seriously they had an entire huge shelf devoted to "Dark romances". So Twilight ripoffs, essentially. I wouldn't mind them so much if they were actually different, but no. It's a Vampire/fallen angel/werewolf/whatever who falls in love with the "ordinary" human girl half the time. What about the GIRL being the supernatural creature falling for a human boy? Some variety please. And these books have seeped into the adult section...

I haven't really read a real book for pleasure in awhile. Most of my reading is done online and 90% of it is fanfiction. At least that I know what I'm looking for and what I want to read.
So does anyone have any good book recommendations? I need something to read.
