If you want something more of the YA demographic, I have a few recommendations.

Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta is one of my favourites. It's part of a fantasy trilogy. She does mostly contemporary fiction, but Finnikin was really, really well done. Link to goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4932435-finnikin-of-the-ro ck?ac=1

Megan Whalen Turner's The Queen's Thief series is brilliant. Turner is just a master at manipulating language. The second book especially blew my mind. And Eugenides is one of my favourite literary protagonists, seriously. Link to goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/448873.The_Thief?ac=1

As for horror/suspense, I'm really enjoying The Monstrumologist (series) by Rick Yancey. I just finished the third book, and--the series was already good, but the latest really impressed me. If you like the gruesome, dark stuff, you'll probably like this. And it won a Printz, so. Goodreads link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457229-the-monstrumo logist

Okay, I'm kind of short on time now, so I'll just list a couple more that are good. You should check out the goodreads page to read reviews and such.
Angelfall by Susan Ee
Blood Red Road by Moira Young
Unwind by Neil Shusterman

Tim Powers - modern fantasy that ties in real world elements. Anubis Gate, a story of time travel, is his break-out work. My favorite is Last Call, about a poker game with really high stakes.

Second Ender's Game. I gave this to a friend who never read science fiction, and she liked it. I hear a movie is in the works to come out this fall.

Lois McMasters Bujold's Vorkosigan novels. You can start with either Shards of Honor,which in retrospect is a prequel to the Miles books, or go right to reading about Miles in The Warrior's Apprentice. Nobody doesn't love Miles Naismith Vorkosigan. Science fiction space opera comedy that can go in really dark places, especially in the later novels (ex. Mirror Dance).

Scott Westerfield, young adult author. I read Peeps, and I think it would suit you. It's a sort-of vampire story.

I like Komarr and A Civil Campaign the best. Probably because he finally gets the girl. Can't stand it when male protagonists don't end up with the girl; and IIRC that keeps happening in earlier works.

(truthfully, I probably like A Civil Campaign and its prequel so much because I'm kind of addicted to Georgette Heyer... romantic comedy in the style of Pride & Prejudice)

I'd like to second the recommendations for The Chronicles of Amber and Vorkosigan series.

And imo, best start reading Vorkosigan with The Warrior's Apprentice! The series are great as a whole, and in a way they chronicle Miles Vorkosigan's life, so it's good to read his books chronologically. And at some random point when you feel like it, simply go back and read the prequels about his parents.
If you're looking for a genius plot, this will probably be a good fit, since Miles is always getting out of trouble thanks to his cleverness. He's something of a maniacal genius.

And Amber begins like something of a mystery novel that seamlessly slips into fantasy. There's intrigue, and the series should easily grab your attention from the beginning. Zelazny also had a wonderful way with words, witty and poetic at the same time.

If you like dark stuff, you can check Neil Gaiman's books...(American Gods, maybe? Even has a mystery in there.) Someone already mentioned Good Omens (which he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett) - a funny dark satire about Armageddon, full of crazy characters...

Thanks everyone! <3 As expected you all are amazing!

I would love to comment on every individual post and thank everyone individually but I lack words this time! T_T Sorry!

I also like Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow. Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is also good and so is the Bartimaeus Sequence by Jonathan Stroud.

I've read every Georgette Heyer Regency that I could get my hands on! Stylish, witty romantic comedy, many tried but no-one has ever filled her shoes.Glad to see another fan here. Did you know that Bujold dedicated A Civil Campaign to "Jane, Charlotte, Georgette, and Dorothy", all favorite authors of mine as well.
I also really enjoyed her book The Spirit Ring. Since this one involves magic, it might be good for a Harry Potter fan.

I'm going to add the books of Barbara Hambly. She has several series of books on magic.
The Sunwolf and Star Hawk trilogy, starting with The Ladies of Mandrigyn, about an aging mercenary soldier who can no longer deny that he has magical abilities. Magic comes with a price.
The Windrose Chronicles, about a woman from our world who gets caught up in the problems of another world. The first is The Silent Tower.
Those Who Hunt the Night is the first of her vampire series
And jedinat, have you read Stranger at the Wedding? This is very much in the Gothic romance tradition, a sort-of homage I think, plus magic.

I did note that. Strangely enough, I believe it was that dedication that introduced me to Heyer, lol. I've bought a couple of her books just to have, but I listen to them all on audiobook... I've got about 30 that I've listened to multiple times.


Thanks for the tip; I'll check it out.

...I want few more novel recommendations! Mature Romance! The best you can suggest!

(Nothing of fantasy/sci-fic/etc..)

Thanks!



________________

Mature as in erotica?
Erotica romance is a popular genre nowadays

My favorite are 50 shades of grey (mainstream yeah but it's good)
Crossfire series by Sylvia Day (very good! much better than 50 shades in my opinion, well, the first book 'Bared to you' seems like 50 sahdes rip off but in the 2nd book and definitely 3rd book, they are different and original! The 2nd book is the best!)
up in the air series (well, it's good too)

or you can check this list:
books containing romance, erotica, and/or BDSM NOT high school, homosexual, urban fantasy nor paranormal romance

lol. shitty romance novels to titillate women have been around forever.

Erotica for males, I think? Romance and love scenes...

________________

I know you don't want anymore Fantasy, it has Romance but it leans more towards Erotica

Kushiel’s Legacy(Triology) and its sequel-triology Treason's Heir.

Fantasy is fine if the romance and erotica elements are good Adultery in fantasy...sounds fun .. (The main lead should be male ofc and I'm not really that fond of BDSM ^^,)

________________

The Hunger Games !!! surprised no one has mentioned it yet. Intense action, plot, thriller, mind games, sci-fi, etc...

I third (fourth?) Ender's Game. Great book.
