    Lord Sunday by Garth Nix (yes, it's YA but I started reading the series when I was 17).
    I recently finished Beauty Secrets of the Bible by Ginger Garrett (yes it is religious but it's not just about beauty...its has a weight related section as well).

    Should note:
    I use www.betterworldbooks.com as my main source of buying books.
    Also, www.goodreads.com is great...it keeps up with what you've read and books you want to read (even ones that won't be released for another year or so).

    I've been making my way through Jane Austen's books, b/c I loved Pride & Prejudice in high school (which I graduated in 2004 and am just now getting to this because I also couldn't read much during college!)

    Anywho, I've reread Pride & Prejudice, read Sense & Sensibility, and am now reading Persuasion.

    BTW, my fave vampire book series thus far is the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K Hamilton :)

    When you finish all of these you should watch the Jane Austen book club, its a way cute movie. And made me want to read more of her books.

    Im reading Breaking Dawn Again.LOL. Big twihard fan, but what can I say. But there really isnt much I wont at least try to im getting all kinds of ideas :)

    Oh yeah, that was part of my intention! :)

    I just finished On a Dollar a Day: One Couple's Unlikely Adventures in Eating in America. The book is more a diary of some of their experiment - the recipes and cost index is on their blog.

    I just started Thunder and Roses: Volume IV: The Complete Stories of Theodore Sturgeon

    Since you like YA so much...check out goodreads.com They have some great lists (I also have a profile on there)...I read a lot of YA myself and do reviews with ARCs.
