Book Recommendations

 Hi, I'm a recent addition to this community.  I have a reading contest, the Reading Olymics, and I was looking for some feedback on the list, so if someone would leave comments with recommendations, I would appreciate it.  I love authors like Jane Austen and Tamora Pierce, so if any of them fall into that kind of genre, please let me know of that as well.  I'm really sorry, but the list is long.  And I already cut the definites, too.  Thank you in advance if you comment!
