Book Recommendations?

Hello!
So for all of those people who enjoy reading, what books do you recommend? I mainly made this thread for me because I need books to read, but I suggest using this thread to find some interesting books that you can read as well!
Just comment any books that you recommend, and include the genres you prefer and the "reading level" (I'm not sure if that's the actual term for it). Examples: YA (young adult), high school, middle school, adult books, etc.

For me, I recommend Graceling (there's a series) by Kristin Cashore (fantasy, YA), Throne of Glass (there's a series) by Sarah J. Mass (Fantasy with a hint of romance, YA), and House Rules by Jodi Picoult (realistic fiction, YA - but more advanced). I would recommend the Harry Potter series and Divergent (I only read the first book of the Divergent series though lol), but I feel as if every one else probably read them.

 

Animal Farm by George Orwell I guess it's middle school or high school

 

Harry Potter.
The world the J.K. Rowling created is so amazing, I didn't ever put the book down. Not even in my classes.

That is why I live in the detention room.

________________________________

oh yeah, middle-of middle school (if you know what i mean) to highschool.

 

Uhhh let's see here...
Maze Runner was good but the rest of the series just slowly got more and more convoluted
BZRK series is nice but mildly inappropriate (swearing, etc)
Artemis Fowl series was pretty cool
So was Septimus Heap series
I am Number Four was good but I've only read book 1 so I don't know how the rest of the series is
Leviathan series (by Scott Westerfeld) was also good

 

Inheritance cycle (Eragon series for those who don't know)
No idea what reading level since I read it in 5th grade ._.
Also the entire 20-ish book series that is Dune (I know this is adult)
Anything that Michael Crichton wrote if you like science stuff (I know this is adult)
Hmm yeah that's about all I can think of right now unless you like manga xD

 

I remember reading the first two or three books of the Artemis Fowl series. I don't think I understood it since I was in third grade or something lol. And I either finished Septimus Heap or I just had one book left. It was pretty good. Thanks for the recommendations by the way!

________________________________

I read the first two books of the Eragon series. It was good but the books were really long haha. Thanks for the recommendations!

Never fear, Cenpy's here with her list of underrated fantasy book series' that everyone should read :D

- The Chronicles of Ixia (Consists of Study Series, Glass Series, and Soulfinder Series) by Maria V. Snyder

Spoiler: Description

(Lots of Fantasy, LOTS of Romance) Even though there's three different series' inside this whole series, it all takes place in the same universe with the same characters and they all relate and interact and tie together. These stories are written in such away that you develop a strong emotional tie to each and every one of the characters, and fall in love with each of their rich, creative, and unique personalities. The books are so captivating and interesting and never fail to keep you on the edge of your seat. I may or may not have cried a few times while reading this, but it also never failed to make me laugh and smile.
This series has adult topics in it, but I think any mature person who is comfortable with adult topics should be perfectly fine to enjoy this series.

- The Graceling Realm by Kristin Cashore

Spoiler: Description

(Lots of Fantasy) Okay I don't have any raving reviews for this series like I did for the last, because I haven't read this in a while. It takes place in a very fantasy-like setting. There's three books in the series - Graceling, Fire, and Bitterblue - but they don't go in any particular order. You could read them in any order, but in the end, no matter what order you read them in, you will have moments where your jaw drops and it suddenly seems like the stars have aligned and the entire universe makes sense now. And again if you choose to re-read it later, like I did. It's extremely well-written and definitely perfect for YA.

- Inside Out / Outside In Series by Maria V. Snyder

Spoiler: Description

(Very Fantasy) Okay, I've just started reading this series myself, and it's almost as amazing as The Chronicles of Ixia. I don't want to say much for now because I've only read half of the first book, but it's just plain incredible. The characters are amazing, the story is amazing, and it also keeps you on the edge of your seat biting your fingernails off. This is definitely a wonderful YA series.

I'm running out of time lmao but I also HIGHLY recommend these YA series':

- The Heir Chronicles by Cinda Williams Chima (not exactly as obscure as the others, but still amazing)
- The Seven Realms Series by Cinda Williams Chima (also not exactly as obscure, but also amazing, even though I haven't finished it yet)

Whoops this is a long post.

 

Everything by Rick Riordan, but foremost Percy Jackson & The Olympians.

 

Haha thanks for the recommendations! They seem really interesting :)

 

Like Ganon said, Rick Riordian's books are amazing and you should totally read them all. It really doesn't matter how old you are.

Then Inheritance Cycle, probably middle school - high school level. (Also, this gets you really popular with right out of college adults and older teenagers. I tell the above what I'm reading or they see it, and they start being super nice to me, or they think I'm the greatest person ever. Heheh)

Another, definitely not as popular one is Snow Like Ashes. I've only read the first book in the series, but it's been really good. Probably teen reading level.

 

Giver Quartet (on 7th chapter on 3rd book, so far good) is down right amazing. Glad to have been forced to read the first one at school!

Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl is good too, but yet to finish that one as well

 

Any discworld book, they are amazing! Maybe Harry Potter. This one book called the blackthorn key is very good, it focuses on an apothecary's apprentice in the 1660s that investigates a cult's murders, it's quite good, you should check it out!

 

Uhh think its gamer girl or something talks about this girl playing a fantasy mmorpg game(sound familiar?)

 

I highly recommend either the Artemis fowl series or the inheritance cycle. Read em both

 

Artemis fowl is fab

 

To Kill a Mockingbird.
yep, I'm that kind of guy.

 

I just read Throne of Glass and it's absolutely amazing. If you like fantasy with a hint of romance, you'll definitely love it.

 

For fantasy lovers who like a bit of romance, try The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare
The Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer if also very nice
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
And (I'm probably gonna get so much hate for this) The Game of Thrones series by George R.R. Martin

 

The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared
The Martian
Command and Control
Guns, Germs, and Steel
