Fiction or non-fiction, it does not matter, just go ahead and recommend a great book!

#1

The Mysterious Benedict Society !

#2

The Divergent Series by Veronica Roth. It's a dystopian series about a world in which society is split into factions: Amity (peaceful), Abnegation (selfless), Erudite (smart), Candor (honest), and Dauntless (brave). The main character, Beatrice (Tris) was born and raised in Abnegation but feels like she doesn't quite fit in there. Tris turns 16 and has to make a choice: will she stay or will she move?

Genuine reccomandation: Most "banned" books you can get your hands on. The Hate U Give and All American Boys are particularly good.
Joke reccomendation: Homestuck. Good luck ever finishing this one.

The house in the cerulean sea
Witch king duality if you're trans (it has a pretty positive message about queerness)
Cemetery boys
Six of crows
The raven cycle (not for the actual plot but for the sheer artistry of the writing)

Graphic novels. Any kind!
I am a person who likes to read, but my adhd doesn’t let me read for long unless I have pictures to attract my attention. Most regular books don’t have any pictures, and if they do, there aren’t many.
Graphic novels have a special place in my heart

If you’re a fan of dragons, these are some of the best books you could read: Wings of Fire, The Dragon Waking, The Dragon Rider. My favorite out of these is Wings of Fire, in my opinion, it is the best book series ever.

If you like fantasy: Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger (Warning: The last book had a pretty big cliffhanger, and we're not getting the next one until Nov 2024). If you like Dystopian: Divergent by Veronica Roth (Warning: you will cry). If you like Fairy Tales: The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer, it's more middle-grade, but still one of my favorites. If you like Romance: The Summer of Broken Rules by K.L. Walther (This one might make you cry too, or maybe I'm a little bit of a baby lol). If you like all of the above: The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.

For anyone who likes fantasy, “Eye of the World” by Robert Jordan and “Dune”, Frank Herbert. I would say you can get away with just reading the first book of both series. Also, “Clan of the Cave Bear” Jean M Auel…bonus of it being a banned book.
If you like YA Fantasy, The Splintered series by AG Howard.
SciFi: Red Rising, Pierce Brown.
Romance: Chesapeake Bay Saga, Nora Roberts

Well I just finished the Graceling Realm series… it’s AMAZING, although if you’re triggered by descriptions of torture probably avoid, there’s some heavy stuff from the villain.
Also pretty much anything by Margaret Owen, she’s one of my favorite authors of all time
And A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik. That woman is a genius.
