Well, since you're a MAJOR bookworm, then theres a sight called
worthyofpublishing.com
that has hundreds of books that you can read, comment and rate on, and it's free.
Most of them aren't published, but they are as the title says, 'worthy of publishing'.
If you're looking to buy a book, then I would suggest
The Hunger games trilogy by Suzanne Collins
The Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer
Wings by Aprilynne Pike
The looking glass wars by Frank Beddor
Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte
And the vampire's assistant is okay if you're good with reading huge books that aren't written well at all :)
Sorry I couldn't list more :)

I don't remember the authors of these books, but they are good ones, realistic fiction that's not overly complicated..
Elsewhere
Itch
Beige
Lost and Found
the perks of being a wallflower is an absolute MUST READ. It's probably a little intense if you live a sheltered life, but it is a fantastic book.

The Clique Series by Lisi Harrison
I started those when I was 13.
**EDIT**
I'd like to add any books by Sarah Dessen would be a good choice. Her books are amazing. Um, Ally Carter is good as well and so is Elizabeth Scott. I loved Bloom and Perfect You by her.
