Q. I like books with action, romance, and I like it to be about people close to my age which is 14. I also don't feel like reading a book that is too realistic. I have already read twilight, harry potter, the clique, maximum ride, unfortunate events series, the luxe, and I think that's it. So what are some books that are really good for you? oh yeah, I don't want any vampire series recommendations, I have read too much about vampires!
A. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: Set in the future in a country that requires two kids from each of its twelve districts to be sent into an arena to compete in the Hunger Games.

It was no surprise to anyone when their teenage children, Chris and Emily, began showing signs that their relationship was moving beyond that of lifelong friends.

Is this a good way to start a book?
Q. I woke and stretched at dawn-
Is this a good sentence to start with? With her describing everything after the first sentence, about her life and what her bedroom looks like? Or does that type of story bore the reader?
Dialogue before description or description before dialogue?
Please give me your opinion~

A. I always like description or dialogue to start. So, like:
1. As the sun began to rise over the hills, a golden glow crept towards the window. Light washed over the girl's face, and a little frown creased her forehead before she opened her eyes....
2. "Sara! Wake up!" shrieked Jessica, smacking the sleeping figure of her sister with a pillow..
I think "I woke" is a little too abrupt to open the story. Start to set the scene, and then wake up... There's my input :)
