Alrighty, these are some books you absolutely need to try, if you haven’t already. This contains a mix of books for high schoolers to adult ages. A good variety of genres and themes. I am a huge fan of dystopian books, so if there are some mentioned ...
This book is similar to the Bachelor, but make it royalty and dystopian. I read the trilogy within a week!
Selection Series
This book is a great romantasy option! I have read this series as a teenager and adult. It has Indian mythology in a modern world. Almost reminds me of the Vampire Diaries characters, Damon and Stefan, but they are Indian Prince tigers.
Tiger’s Curse by Colleen Houck

Dragon Slippers
I recommend this book for elementary kids and teenagers, although totally fine reading as an adult!

Atlas of The Heart -Brene Brown
I read this book with my mom and it’s such a great series! I highly recommend it for fantasy readers, because of the way each book highlights a different mystical creature. This book was what made Brandon Mull more known!
Fablehaven by Brandon Mull
This is one of my FAVORITE books of all time!! The way it combines legend and magic in a modern world is so great.
Holes: Louis Sachar, Radunsky, Ibatoulline
Most of my books I recommend likely stem from me reading in an English class. I think this usually means it has lots of interesting and thoughtful insights. I couldn’t put this book down and read it within a few days. Historical and magical aspects. ...
All The Light We Cannot See- Anthony Doerr
This is a great sci-fi, dystopian read set in the future! I loved the fairytale retelling of Cinderella and how it’s so different from any other book I’ve read. Very unique! There are other fairytale retellings after this book I haven’t tried, but wi...
