What are some good books out there?

I find it very hard to find books I like. I can’t under any circumstances read any other point of view than first-person. Yes I have tried to but I just can’t get into them. I’m basically looking for some romance teen to young adult books.
Books I have read and liked
Twilight Saga
Distant Waves
What I Saw and How I Lied

I want to find books similar to Distant Waves and What I Saw and How I Lied. I liked the historical references and loved the characters and the love interests. I am not looking for any vampire/wolf books.

Suggestions and reviews are appreciated.

Nokosee: Rise of the New Seminole by Micco Mann. It has the defiant voice of a 17 year old girl who manages to overcome everything thrown at her in the course of the novel which is a lot– and she does it in a way that would make all girls proud– not in a superhuman way or through the assistance of some heroic act of a man or a monster but via her own means.

Student-teacher romance book recommendations?

I’m suddenly in the mood to read something between a student and a teacher in the way of romance. Does anyone know something I can read? I’m sure there’s some sleazy romance book somewhere, but really I’d prefer something online. :D Like… www.winglin.net/fanfic-kind of stuff. Maybe a little cheezy and predicatble, but that’s really okay.

:-) . Anyone?
SIGH.

I didn’t mean pedophilia. I’m not into that–it’s disgusting and wrong. Sorry for the mis communication.

I meant, like, college student and professor. :P But nevermind really, if you lot are going to be like that.

Did you really mean to use the word “romance”? Even with the college professor/student angle that’s a pretty sleazy subject–the mature professional taking advantage of a naive young person etc. You may have meant something more along the lines of mentoring. I have read several, but unfortunately all of them have been loaned out to friends at the moment so I don’t have titles. I found them in the education section of the bookstores. There have been several written about teachers working in ghettoes who have turned “tough” kids into grade-A students with a lot of dedication, hard work and genuine affection for the kids.

I’m sorry I can’t be more specific at the moment. If this is the angle you’re looking for, maybe posting on the education category would help.

I just happened to think of 2 books that you might like–they’re about an older man/young girl who fall in love. They’re set in Victorian times. Fortune’s Rock and All He Ever Wanted by Anita Shreve. Excellent choices.

1. I am very much concerned when I see young gentlemen of fortune and quality so wholly set upon pleasure and diversions, that they neglect all those improvements in wisdom and knowledge which may make them easy to themselves and useful to the world. The greatest part of our British youth lose their figure, and grow out of fashion, by that time they are five and twenty.2. As soon as the natural ga…
