I have decided that I am going to try reading actual paper books this summer! Instead of fanfiction! I don't know if it'll work, but we shall see. So, anyway, you should tell me what's good to read! I like comedy, teens, romance, time-travel, dogs, horses, sci-fi, historical fiction, etc. I don't like anything heavy or depressing. I don't mind having to think, but I'm hugely disapproving of long, boring descriptions, no matter how accurate or whatever. I'm afraid I have a low tolerance now for epithets, sloppy POVs, use of "lover" (oh god, shoot me), and, seriously, hate, hate, hate something that's overly-wordy for no purpose at all, but just because the author likes to write about flowers or bicycles or sunsets or clothes or quidditch (hi, JKR) - bleh. ANYWAY, I'm sure you all can suggest something to read that isn't going to make my eyes bleed and my brain ooze out of my ears. Summer fun!

I've got 27 pages of utter Kevin/Mike high school AU crap, but whatever, I'm still trucking. I figure I'll just write and write and write and then go back and slice it apart and put it back together into something that maybe makes sense and doesn't suck, but no promises.

Also, I'm SO TEMPTED to write iCarly het, because Sam and Freddie are so adorable together and Sam is like my favorite character on TV right now and iCarly rocks, even J likes it.

This was really helpful for me as well LOL because I need some things to read.

Um I would also recommend The Magician's Trilogy by Trudi Carnavan. She is Aussie (thus awesome) and this was her first tilogy. Bit raw but it has Magic, Evil, Love & Gay Romance.

Also Sarah Rees Brennan had just released Demon's Lexicon. I have no idea if they are good but I have read her fan works for years and find her funny but also with great depth.

The other people have said. For non sci-fi there is also Melanie La'Broy. She does romantic comedy realy well.

That is all I can remember that would be different to what you have probably read :)
