Well, I don't know many girly books, seeing how I'm a guy, but if you're interested in Fantasy I suggest anything defined as Epic fantasy. They usually start with an epic battle of some sort and move on from there.
As for girly books like Twi#@!@# or (insert book here), they're usually the same in and out.
Also Stephen King is a good author to look into. If that's not enough help for ya, then look something up online. I'm in the middle of Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson (which explains the Epic fantasy suggestion) and was quite surprised by how good it is.
A good thing about books: you never know what you might find!
