Ipsa sola asked: I’m not much of a romance, science fiction or fantasy fan.(Harry Potter is an exception to the rule lol) I usually like a lot of suspense/murder mysteries, historical fiction and just deep, riveting stories in general.
Please feel free to name some of your favorites!

Mom of 4 asked: Ok, this is a book I read when I was a teenager and my daughter seems really excited when I described it to her. There is a rich girl who falls for the boy that is from the wrong side of the tracks. He has his best friend who gets killed by getting decapitated by a fishing line (or thin wire) while on his dirt bike. The teens doing the murders are out to “purge” these evil people from their town. I really like this book. Yes, as a teen, I was into horror novels and murder mystery. But I know this book was in the teens section. I am just really lost who wrote it and what the title was. I thought it was Christopher Pike but not sure. I LOVED Christopher Pike books when I was younger. Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!

i wonaaa asked: I’m looking for a good novel to read. I’d prefer something without heavy romance. Something with suspense or mystery sounds good but that’s not necessary. Just something good that you can think of.
Can you please also include what it was about?
Thanks!

C asked: I read this novel a while ago about a guy who was accused of sleeping with and killing a student. I believe he was a counselor or coach or something at a high school, and I think his name was Sam. His best friend was his lawyer, I think. But I can’t think of the name of the book or the author and it’s driving me nuts. Anyone??
Never mind…. I figured it out. Silent Witness by Richard North Patterson was what I was thinking of. The details were a little more complicated than what I remembered/described.

Ohio532 asked: I want something fictional.. but not too fictional. I don’t like lord of the rings, it’s well written, but I don’t like the content of it. They’re pretty much just wandering around a desolate forest looking for stuff and waring. I don’t like war books either. I like Harry Potter. I like the relationships like teacher-student, teacher-teacher, and all the different personalities displayed in it. It’s good stuff. Honestly, besides those, the last books I actually read were goosebumps when I was a KID. I actually read The Outsiders too, that was a really good book. I need some real books! Books entirely about solving a murder mystery are BORING to me I think. I like the spark notes of Les Miserables. I didn’t actually read it though. hmmmm… ahhah. Give me a lot of reccomendations with a lot of different types. I like stuff that is either in the present or not so far past. Future stuff is crap too I think. I could be wrong, if something that I “don’t like” is really good just tell me.
