Any books you guys reccomend?

I think I need to start reading books that let me exersise my reading potential. I read a lot of kids books and the stories are great but from what I heard I was at a decently high reading level and like I said I should read something that will exersise my reading skills. The problem is that when you go to the young adult section at the book store its all "dark vampire romance" (no offence to anyone who likes that stuff.

I'm not really sure what I'm looking for but I did like Dunk by David Lubar, the Disney Fairies books, I used to like Warriors but I'm getting a little tired of it, Seventeen and GL magazines err yeah....not sure if that will help you likely not...

Here's what I'm NOT looking for...
Dark vampire romance type things
sexual things
manga/comics (I'm looking for books that don't have many pictures you know filled mostly with words)
really long book series
violence and/or a lot of death/blood/murder
Twilight/Harry Potter ect.
really kiddie books

Any reccomendations?

Oh my gosh.
Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles.

I am a really picky reader, like I don't like a lot of books, especially not the dark vampire crap, but that book is actually interesting.
There's three to the series, but they're REALLY good.

I'll look it up. Thanks.
