Hello! I reside in the US and love books, manga and asian DRAMAS.

Several favorites include:

Harry Potter, Princess Diaries (or pretty much anything Meg Cabot), Tamora Pierce books (Songs of the Lioness Quartet and Beka Cooper books are more favored than others),Princess Academy, Ella Enchanted/Gail Carson Levine Books, Dan Brown, Gossip Girl, Pride and Prejudice, Court/Crown Duel

Fruits Baskets, SAILOR MOON, Cantarella, Perfect Girl Evolution, Chobits, Yu Watase manga- Alice 19th, Fushigi Yugi, Imadoki)

It Started With a Kiss, Autumns Concerto, Goong, Devil Beside You, Pearl Princess, The Outsiders, Coffee Prince, and some Chinese Dramas that have bad english translation names. Haha

And there are several others that I can't name off the top of my head.

Also I recommend reading Aurelia and Academy 7 by Anne Osterlund. They are Young Adult novels that are REALLY good!
