What are some good books to read for a 14 year old girl?

I'm asking for a friend of mine. She likes:
The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer (but no other vampire books)
The Gemma Doyle trilogy (A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, The Sweet Far Thing) by Libba Bray
Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan
The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot
The Luxe series (The Luxe, Rumors, Envy) by Anna Godbersen
Anything by Shannon Hale (The Goose Girl, Princess Academy)
the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
She loves Historical fiction/ya romance, and sometimes likes the fantasy genre, general YA fiction, and classics too. She reads quickly, and loves to immerse herself in a great series or saga or else a long book, but quick chick lit reads are nice, too. Thanks so much!

    You and I have similar tastes....I also love fantasy, classics, historicals, and romances...

    You will probably also like these (I've read and loved them all):

    Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery
    A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
    Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
    The Raging Quiet by Sherryl Jordan
    Katherine by Anya Seton
    The Neverending Story by Michael Ende


    and when you're older I recommend Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (the best love story, better than Twilight....but it has love scenes so you should read it in a few years instead of now)

    She might enjoy Laura Ingall's Wilder's "Little House on the Prairie" series. I read them when I was young and loved them. They are written by a woman who grew up in the "pioneer days", and chronicle her life from childhood to adulthood.

    Another series I really enjoyed was "Anne of Green Gables" and "Anne of Avonlea" by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It's a fiction story about a girl who is sent to work a farm with a brother and sister who are getting too old to work the farm without help. They'd planned to adopt an orphan boy, but decided to keep her. It has a lot of emotions...humor, sadness...a really great read that became so popular that it was made into a PBS miniseries.

    She might also like "Diary of a Girl" by Anne Frank. I think every young person should read this book. It is a diary written by Anne Frank, a Jewish girl who chronicles her story of growing up in hiding during the Nazi invasion of Germany.

    Silas Marner by George Eliot.

    I'm not sure what reading level these books are, but I saw a few of the books I enjoyed as a young girl in your list, and since I enjoyed these as well (and the first two are actual series, which means more reading lol), I thought I would recommend them.

    Try "All American Girl" by meg cabot. It's about a kinda-goth girl that saves the president and then she's this huge hero, even though she knows she's not. And also the very-handsom first son catches her eye.

    There is also a sequal called "Ready or Not" i havn't read it yet but idk if your mom's would aprove. It's a whole book on being pressured and something else you can look up on here cuz i don't want my question deleted rudly AGAIN!
