I decided 2021 is going to be my year of classics! I just finished The Great Gatsby and I have The Art Of War, Lord Of The Flies, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Inferno by Dante Aligehei, Catcher In The Rye, The Count Of Monte Cristo, Animal Farm, War of the Worlds,, also the complete collections of HP Lovecraft and George Orwell. I'll let you know if I update my list!

I've read the septimus heap books. Angie sage really got me hooked. I don't normally read those kinda books. Fantasy/magic type books. I'm more of an action pack book guy. But I'd recommend reading a little about the septimus heap series

Vampire Academy. There is a series that is after VA called Blood lines. I haven't gotten to bloodlines yet I'm still in the VA section but they are good books. Also anything to do with a TV Series like Sueprnatural, Arrow, The Walking Dead.

Definitely Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. It has such an amazing concept and it is a pretty easy read. My definite Go-to!

JUDD, an LGBTQIA+ BIPOC led Urban Fantasy about a teen boy struggling to come to terms with who he is. Because of his hesitance to accept himself, when the time came, he didn't receive his powers like everyone else in Comet Cove City.
AVAILABLE MARCH 5th, 2021!
PRE-ORDER NOW HERE!
SUMMARY
Comet Cove is a city where everyone gets their own special powers when they come of age. Everyone, that is, except for Samael Judd.
Ordinary in a world of extraordinaries, Sam faces the possibility of exile, should his powerlessness be discovered. When a Fragment doesn’t accept themselves, their Aura doesn’t give them the powers they’re promised, making them a Blank.
But a solution exists: If Sam can confront the part of himself that he would rather stay buried, he just might be in the clear. That is, until he finds out he’s revealed his secret to the wrong person.

I've read this book called Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas twice now and thinking of giving it another read through, it's quickly become one of my favorite books!

Holly Black's fairy series. I saw someone post Folk of Air trilogy, which is amazing, but I would start at the beginning because it spoils the ending for three of the previous books. I would read her Modern Tales of Fairy series first, then The Darkest Part of the Forrest, and then finish with the Folk of Air trilogy.

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (the first time I read this I literally thought I had lost my fucking mind.)
Anything by Disinfo (if you can find them)

I'd recommend The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall since it's pretty underrated. I've been enjoying Riley Sager's books as well. Rescursion by Blake Crouch was a good scifi too.

I've been reading a lot of George Orwell lately. I'm also trying to do more historical reading and learn new things!

The Wheel of Time series is a fun read. There are a ton of books, so if you like fantasy then you wouldn't run out of material for a long time :)

These are YA, but I like them and they're a quick read. If I can think of more, I'll add on. :)

Pale Fire by Nabokov. Novel presented as notes on the text to a long poem. Fun as hell to read, you'll need at least three bookmarks!
Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin. Novel presented as anthropological writings on an tribe in future America.

I'm loving all these recommendations! I'll need another bookshelf soon. I will have to compile a list of my recommendations, but my current book that I'm enjoying is The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

if you havent gotten to it already One Thousand and One Nights is a classic for a reason. its a very colourful look into west/south asian traditional stories if youre used to european tropes and themes its refreshing to read. back when i read it sticking to only one or two of the bits a night before bed was hard because i wanted to continue on, sometimes i would lose hours without even noticing.

The Savior's Champion by Jenna Moreci. It's got violence, romance, and humor (basically the holy trifecta imo).
