I will post books for older girls ranging (14-20's or older) & I will post books for (7-13yrs)
Author: Erynn Mangum (15yrs+Up)
Mangum is a new author in her 20's. She is my top favorite author. She writes amazing work. Her books are hilarious. You will literally laugh out loud. They are also Christian books. I highly reccomend her books. The author's personality comes out in all of her books. Her main characters are usually addicted to coffee, romantic, a little on the nutsy side, chocoholics, romantic comedy lovers, & more! I gurantee that you will love these books as much as I did!Lauren Hollbrook Series

Everything seems to be going perfectly for Maya Davis – she’s got a good
job at a coffee shop, loving parents and is happily single. At least
until her best friend unknowingly starts dating Maya’s high school
sweetheart, her annoyingly perfect brother moves back to town and her

apartment becomes Wedding Central. As if that weren’t awful enough,
Jen’s obnoxious mom moves in to help with the planning! And what is

Now that Maya Davis is engaged to her longtime friend and sweetheart, Jack, there should be no more worrying about the future, no more questioning God. Everything should be perfect, right?

What does God have planned for Maya in even the unexpected?
Paige Torn Series

seemingly good things like volunteering at her church and helping her
best friend plan an anniversary party. But is there a point where too
much of a good thing is just too much?

boss has offered her a raise. Her walk with God is strong. Life is
great—and that’s when things start to change. How is Paige supposed to
know what the right decisions are?Author: Robin Jones Gunn (All of her books have a different age range)
She has been one of my favorite authors for a long time. The majority of my favorite quotes come from her. These books teach you to wait for the right guy, & they follow Christy through highschool, college, and married life. The author is currently writing a book about Christy's married life. These books were written in the 80's and are still very popular today. These are the books that I've gotten all my friends to read. They absolutely love them!(Below ~14yrs & up, These books are also read my adults, they're that good!)
(The Christy Miller Series consists of 4 volumes & is later followed by "The College Years")
Fourteen-year-old Christy Miller has the dream summer ahead of her in
sun-kissed California, staying with her aunt and uncle at their
beachfront home. Aunt Marti loves to shop, and those surfers are
cute—especially Todd. Christy promised her parents she wouldn’t do
anything she’d regret later, and some of her beach friends are a little
wild. But Todd and his “God-Lover” friends are giving Christy a new
image of all things eternal. Can this summer live up to its promise? 
Summary of first book:
The Europe mission trip brought Sierra Jensen the best gift possible: two new friends, Katie and Christy. But now Sierra is headed home, and she can’t help but wonder will her friendships last? And what about her new home? Her family moved while she was gone, and that means facing a new high school. And the biggest question of all: Will she ever find love? Then a chance meeting in a London airport answers that question. Paul makes her heart leap. But she’ll never see him again! Or will she?
The first book in Katie Weldon Series, Peculiar Treasures picks up just minutes after the end of Christy and Todd: The College Years.

catches a case of senioritis, which she’s working hard to stave off, in
addition to unexpected changes that keep her off balance. But one thing
that’s not changing is her relationship with Rick. They’re living in the
slow lane, and Katie wonders what will it take to convince him to make
the eagerly anticipated lane change that will speed up the progress of
their relationship.
This book is amazing! It's non-fiction & it talks about Gunn's personal love story. It really is wise to pray for your future husband.Will it really make a difference if you pray for your future husband … even before you’ve met him? There’s only one way to find out. Start praying! This book will encourage you to do just that and give you everything you need to get started.
Author: Melody Carlson(Her books are for 13&Up)
I love her writing. She doesn't sugar coat the teenage life. She tells it how it is. Her books are the real deal. Some of her books can be hard to read because the situations are very hard, so when you read her books use discretion. Obviously her books about suicide, etc. should be only read by older teens.
Diary Of A Teenage Girl Series:
Sixteen-year-old Caitlin O'Conner reveals the inner workings of a girl
caught between childhood and womanhood ... an empty life without Christ and a meaningful one with Him. Through
Caitlin's candid journal entries we see her grapple with such universal teen issues as peer pressure, loyalty,
conflict with parents, the longing for a boyfriend, and her own spirituality. Readers will laugh and cry with Caitlin
as she struggles toward self-discovery and understanding God's plan for her life. And they'll be deeply moved by her
surprising commitment regarding dating.
