Meldawen, you've read "Mara, Daughter of the Nile?" I love that book! It's been ages since I read it and I really don't remember much, but I do remember really liking it.
For a good fantasy read, I would suggest "The Singer of All Songs" by Kate Constable. Very gripping, very original, unlike most twentyfirst century fantasy.

Kudos to Kitoky for the fabulous signature set, and art credit to engelszorn.

Yeah, it's one of my favorites! I thought it would be boring because I had to read it for school but then I couldn't put it down  THAT'S my kind of romance. I never get tired of reading it over and over, either... _________________

I read it when I was still 12, so there you go. The reading level is not incredibly high, and the plot in general is pretty simple to assimilate. The characters are all adults, and there are a few brief sexual scenes (though they don't go into detail). The morality and philosophy are incredible. I learned much from that series. _________________

Ummmm....Tamora Pierce is an amazing author. Its a fairly simple read (Depending on which series you read) but they are all very enjoayable and I reread them more than any other books.

 Christian is a good thing, Tur. I'm christian, and not ashamed to show it. Thanks, y'all! ((Must try to choose which one to read first! ))

Dragons of Autumn Twilight, by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. It's wonderfully written and the storyline is excellent!

Well, if you like fantasy, I would reccomend T.A. Barron's books. He has two series of books (at least I think so) The Lost Years of Merlin and the Avalon trio. They're very good.
I also like A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, and A Swiftly Tilting Planet, by Madaline L'Engle. These books are sort of a mix between sci-fi and fantasy - very entertaining.
Another good set is the 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series. The first one's called The Lightning Thief, and the second one's The Sea of Monstors. These books are extremely funny!!! 
Like Meldawen said earlier, the Artemis Fowl series of 5 books is very good - they're by Eoin Colfer.
The Oracle Betrayed is also the first book of a series that I like (I can't remember the names of the other two books)
I hope that's enough!

Another good set of fantasy books is His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. They are very entertaining.
