Anyone out there?

Don't laugh at me. I'm trying to get back into reading. School has destroyed my ability to read. Looking for something preferably an easier read, maybe in the sci-fi or fantasy genre although there isn't a lot I won't read. And remember that I'm hooked by characters and not necessarily plot.

Suggestions? I'm tired and

Just going to throw a bunch of YA at you since that's all I've been reading lately.

- The Curse Workers by Holly Black is an edgy urban fantasy series involving the mob that I just finished up and adored to death. There's three books in that one, all of them very fast reads.

- Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series is aaaamazing and has a great cast of awesome female characters that you'll really enjoy. Not fantasy, but it's set at an all-girl spy school therefore it's awesome by default. Plus Cammie/Zach ranks right up there with P/A for favorite YA couples. The first book is kind of, "Meh," compared to the other four, but they get sooooo good later on and they're incredibly fast reads. I think I finished the fourth book in two hours. If you like those, I'd also recommend Ally Carter's Heist Society series too.

- Rachel Hawkins' Hex Hall series is fun and so are her characters.

- Again, not fantasy, but Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins is one of my favorite contemporary YA books I've read in a long time.

I probably have more. Just aren't thinking of them all...

A SPY SCHOOL? OMG I WILL CHECK THIS OUT.

Thank you for the recs! I am making a list. That might involve an Excel spreadsheet.

You should get a GoodReads account, dude. Easiest way to keep track of books ever and find a bunch more to read too.

BUT YES, SPY SCHOOL WITH SUPER SMART AND KICKASS GIRLS AND THEY'RE HILARIOUSLY AWKWARD AROUND BOYS, IT'S AMAZING.
