I actually really don't know. I haven't run across anything I've loved the way I love Twilight. I've read some amazing books, but the twilight series is still at the top of my list. But ironically I actually did just run across this site: www.examiner.com/x-1361-Seattle-Books-Examiner~y2009m7d3-What-to-read-afterI haven't read any of those so I don't know if they're good, but maybe something to look into. I'm about to start reading "My Sisters Keeper". Everyone says it's amazing, and I keep being told I should read it before I see the movie so that's what I'm going to do

I just finished "My Sister's Keeper" last night. Omg someone PLEASE read it so you can discuss it with me lol!
Just a warning, it's REALLY upsetting. I was crying throughout so much of the book, and was bawling by the end.

You mean from the library?
Since the book was checked out at all the libraries near me, I just bought it from a bookstore. It's only like $8, so it was definitely worth it.
Such a sad book! And a sad movie. They're very different though.

Oh I see. Well hopefully you'll be able to get it from the Library soon!! It's really really out in my area, that's why I decide to just buy it. I wouldn't have been able to get it for a long time lol.

Definitely try to get the book.
Yea, it's really good. Very upsetting though. Be ready for a good cry lol. But don't expect it to be what you saw in the movie. The best recommendation I can give you is to try to separate the movie from the book in your mind. They are extremely different. You'll see, the ending is sooooo different than it was in the movie.
Make sure you don't see any spoilers for it online or anything! You don't want to ruin the ending.
