Hey I got a little problem I could use some help with. There's this nice, little, teenage girl who's never read a book before, so I told her I'd get her one as a surprise gift. But uh, I'm drawin' up a blank. What kinda books do girls even read nowadays?

Something with starcrossed lovers. It's always a hit with the fifteen-to-nineteen demographic.

[Said with a dose of helpfulness and really, honestly, just a little dash of bitterness.]

[crisisrain]

It'd hit my age group as well if it involved a beautiful lady like yerself!

Let's see...something sweet, with a prince in it. Or a knight. I like those kinds of stories.

[crisisrain]

Oh it's my lucky day! A pretty lady givin' me advice~

A handsome Prince story might work well, but she might get the wrong message...

Hey, um, Raven? I wanted to thank you for taking me home the other day when I couldn't talk, and I'm really sorry I caused so much trouble for you.

[crisisrain]

Emil? Hey you can talk now! Didn't I tell ya it'd clear up soon?

And it's no worries, I couldn't just leave you there like that. I'm glad ta see yer feelin' much better!

[trueknight]

[Sorry Raven, but you saying "teenage girl" for any reason will always earn you this look.]

[crisisrain]

I have standards ya know kid.

[inabook]

[and Estelle takes the bait.]

Do you know any of her interests? I can give you a general list of books I've enjoyed, but there are lots of options.

[crisisrain]

[Success!]

I figured she'd be into something a bit... exciting is probably the best word! Though a general list would be good too, commin' from our little bookworm~

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

Depends on the girl! But if you're not sure, I'd look at some good novels. Fantasy, mystery, good basic stuff - no horror or scifi, you never know if she'll like that or not.

But if you read the summary on the back and think it's stupid, don't get it for her!

[crisisrain]

Oh why not horror or sci-fi? I know a lass who loves that sorta stuff!

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

We have a large selection of young adult literature in the library. I can make several recommendations of the "best of the best" so to speak.

[crisisrain]

Go for it! I'm open to any suggestions ya think she might like!

[beary-bad-puns.livejournal.com]

Books about hot studs!

[crisisrain]

That'd be my own biography!

[perplexme]

Wouldn't that depend on the girl?

[crisisrain]

I suppose so, wouldn't happen to know her would you? She looks about yer age, her name is Xion.

[Written]

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

Hm... Well, I like stories with some kind of moral at the end. Fairytales and myths are popular in Nippon. Uhm... I-I personally like the tale of Kaguya-hime. It ends sadly, but it is a beautiful story nonetheless. ♥

[Oh, but now she's curious. So have a poncle tilting her head at the journal's camera.]

Who's the book for, Mister Raven?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Hey, Miyabi darlin'! It's for a little lass named Xion, she had a birthday recently and that's what she asked for as a gift~

I don't wanna give her a sad story, I'd like to give her a book that'll make her happy at the end! She seems to have a sense of humour.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Do you know her interests at least? That would make the search easier.

[crisisrain]

Sup Ted.

Vaguely, though if I did I wouldn't be askin' now would I?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Depends on the girl, I'd say. Some are into sappy things, but not all.

[crisisrain]

Well you look around the same age as her, what're kids these days into?

[lost-koneko.livejournal.com]

With princes and princesses and lots of love!

[crisisrain]

With a super happy ending where they live happily ever after?
