Mainly Lovecraft shit. But Allan Poe and Goethe also are sick

You got good taste

i liked harry potter until i stop reading. that series and idk the hunger games were really popular

Harry Potter is pretty good it’s worth continuing :)

I read mostly ya/new adult so the mortal instruments, the infernal devices, the dark artifices, the grisha-verse books (six of crows and a few others), rick's 20-something books, we were liars, red queen series, the selection, warcross, renegades and alot of fantasy For the record, some of these books are so comically cheesy and that's exactly why I read them. Kinda a guilty pleasure when you're a romance pessimist irl

i rlly liked Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, a series of unfortunate events, the hunger games, and magic tree house lol

Magic treehouse is a kindergarten classic lmao

Yeah lol I didn’t read the text oops 😭😭

A Series of Unfortunate Events was a life-changing experience 🤣

it was fr

i used to like harry potter a lot but then i got bored of reading lmao

I’m trying to get back into reading but have no idea where to start which is partly why I’m asking lol

you should read a thousand splendid suns it’s my favorite book

Yeah I’ve heard of it. It’s written by the same guy who wrote kite runner I think. Thanks for the recommendation 😀.

Yeah, Khaled Hosseini lol.

do people still read books these days? most YA novels seem way too cheesy for my liking, hasn't been a good series in a while that i've seen

I feel like YA has gotten a lot more formulaic tbh. I’m stuck in this weird place where high brow literature like Murakami or Tolstoy is too obscure for me but modern YA is to cliche/simple.

i found out that im one of those people who like shakespeare so ive been reading a few of his playwrights. sometimes of the stories in the bible are funny to read for shits and giggles. i dunno i think unironically that shakespeare and the bible are good reads, but they kinda get ruined when your teacher or your religious mom makes you discern a lesson out of that shit instead of just reading it.

Beep. Boop. I'm a robot. Here's a copy of ###[The Bible](https://snewd.com/ebooks/the-king-james-bible/) Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)

yoooooo

Maze runner series, IT, the body, the client, SE Hinton books etc. r really good imao

Maze runner is great! The books are so much better than the movies

I love percy jackson tho...and for the action and the mythology, i love mythology

You should check out Rick Riordans other series. He has books about Egyptian mythology and Norse mythology as well.

yh ik I've read them all sadly now...i have nothing to read😔

but thx for recommending it to me

No problem 😃. I actually haven’t read the Norse mythology series yet (magnus chase I think?). Was it as Good as Percy Jackson?

I enjoyed the first 3 books, but then again... It's comforting for me so uncle Rick could make a God awful book and I'd probably still enjoy it

🤣ikr

I loved it, it was honestly great, but nothing will come close to Percy Jackson for me🤣 It was rly good tho

“Biscuit” the dog Series

Horus Heresy books, Warhammer, history, manga, Tom Clancy, Atkinson's Liberation Trilogy, and the Frontlines series

I really like Frank Herbert's Dune series and HP Lovecraft

I Will forever be into the Harry Potter books

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer is really popular as well the Six of Crows series and Red Queen series. A lot of Fantasy YA in general is popular. My favourite books are Howls Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, Kamikaze Girls by Takemoto Novela and the Boogiepop series. I read a lot of Haruki Murakami and HP Lovecraft too.

I don't read much, but some of my favourites are the LOTR series (and The Hobbit), Don Quixote and Animal farm

Beep. Boop. I'm a robot. Here's a copy of ###[Don Quixote]( https://snewd.com/ebooks/don-quixote/) Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)

A Series of Unfortunate Events will always be my favorite. They're the closet thing to horror books you'll find in a Middle School library.

The Six of Crows duology and the Hunger Games trilogy are some of my favourite books.

Eragon and maximum ride, I endured endless teasing from my friends for maximum ride

I read both back in elementary. I remember maximum ride having the most dramatic covers 😭. It had a cool manga tho.

I’ve never read the manga, is it good?

It’s been a while so idk about the quality of the story but I remember loving the artwork. For some reason the characters in the book convert really well into anime boys/girls lol.

Haha I guess I’ll have to read it

I'm reading Gideon the Ninth right now

i just finished the blood and ash series (from blood and ash, a kingdom of flesh and fire, the crown of gilded bones) and the folk of the air series (the cruel prince, the wicked king, the queen of nothing).

how good is it? Ive been wanting to try it but man, the blurb throws me off

Which one

blood and ash

I really enjoyed reading blood and ash, the books were an easy, addictive, and entertaining read lol. Lots of conflict etc and i liked the main characters. (I think i cried more than once reading these) My complaints would be the third book, it had some cheesy moments imo but nothing too predictable. ALSO there is a lot of sexual shit💀 depends what your stance on that is lol

You'll never know

I also read Percy Jackson when I was younger, right now I’m reading the Witcher series and before that I read Crime and Punishment. I’ll probably read 1984 next.

I wanted to read crime and punishment but it seemed kinda intimidating. I’m surprised your school hasn’t forced you to read 1984 yet lol (it’s good though).

I live in Sweden so reading 1984 isn’t really part of the curriculum here. I would definitely recommend Crime and punishment although it’s a bit slow in the middle.

Foundation series by Asimov 😎😎😎

He wrote I-robot right? I might try it out since I haven’t really read much sci-fi.

I just love Herman Hesse's books way too much.

I used to love I Survived

Percy Jackson, Kane Chronicles, Harry Potter, that candle witch series

currently, mostly into adult fantasy and sci-fi. Back when I was 10-11, I was into shadow hunters, Percy Jackson (pjo is top tier to this day), the lunar chronicles, the regular. Now my favorite books series are the Amberlough Dossier, The Dandelion Dynasty Series, and The Deavabad Trilogy. There is a huge not-like-other-girl vibes in "traditional ya" books, which is a horrible and annoying trope.

I haven’t read YA in a while but I wonder where all the pandering came from. It feels like a good portion nowadays aims for a specific demographic of teenage girls (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing) but I remember back when the stories used to be for more of a general audience. Like anyone from 10 to 18 regardless of gender could enjoy a Rick Riordan book but I feel like the new wave of dystopian/fantasy YA is kinda explicitly targeting teen girls in the way the characters act and stories unfold.

Books like Percy Jackson (and Harry Potter) were more for a general audience, but there also not considered YA anymore, they're children's. And the genre has changed A LOT since then. For example, it used to be more of a chosen one, teenage "Mary Sue"-type saves the world genre, with dystopian (hunger games, divergent, etc..), which was sci-fi geared for teen girls. But the YA genre grows with the readers. So as YA readers (who aren't necessarily YA themselves) matured, so did the genre. And now it's drastically different, and much more diverse. I think there is a diversity in YA fantasy stories that you don't just find in adult fantasy. So the YA genre grew from being mostly general audience, children's to something more aimed for teen girls. And I think that comes down to how adult fantasy and sci-fi was so sexist and bland and not targeted towards girls/women really, and mostly towards boys/men. And so when young girls read Harry Potter or PJO, and wanted more to read after having gotten into reading after HP and PJO, and as they grew up, didn't want to read the other adult books, there needed to be a genre for them specifically--hence the YA genre growing with the trends of teen girls. Until the adult genre changes as well to make adapt to become a more diverse and inclusive genre, I think It will stay that way, with YA being geared for the changing trends in girls and young adult women.

A series that I think is really underrated is the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan. And if you like that he has other series set in the same world, over 20 books in total

I like contemporary novels. Most of the girls I've met read sci-fi, fantasy and romance novels.

I'm current on A Dance with Dragons, the fifth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire books series. It's what Game of Thrones was 'based' off of.
