Anne of Green Gables! Omg after watching the series on Netflix I really want to read it!

I love the Rainbow Rowell novels, especially Fangirl and Carry On.

My Sister Lives on the Mabel Annabel Pitcher, is a really beautiful book.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by  Ransom Riggs

Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan.

[Kara]

Bartimaeus series by Jonathon Stroud

Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan

The original Fairy tales by The Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Anderson

I have two favorite authors:

Margurite Henry (misty of chincoteage)

Madeline l'engle (a wrinkle in time books)

 

Obviously JK Rowling too but she's already named

I also loved the Heartland books <3 I never read the full series because I couldn't find all of them. They're horse books hehe

Oh! And all the black stallion books

 

Oh oh! And Chronicles of Narnia! All of them!

Oh man, it's been years and years since i read the black stallion books. i remember they were soooo cute

 

and chronicles of narnia are just too religious for me. i liked them when i was young but no more.

Hmm... I haven't read them in a long time... I knew it but never actually picked up on it when I was younger, I always took them at face value and enjoyed the story Maybe I'll read them again for a different perspective. I didn't read a whole lot of YA books actually, I had a very high reading level from a young age. I read The Godfather when I was 9... haha

The horse whisperer is another book I love.

Yeah, i mean the books are pretty good. My favorite was Magicians Nephew. But they definitely have overtones.

 

And yeahhhh... i really skipped right over YA books when i was physically a YA, and got into them as an adult, but dang they are really addicting.

I love The Selection series by Kiera Cass!  It's about a dystopian society where girls from different castes basically compete to be the prince's new wife. 

 

Anything by Sarah Dessen!  Her writing is so smooth and relaxing! 

 

If you like Vampire series books, House of Night series is great!

[switchlittleloves]

Omg how has nobody said The Mortal Instruments yet??? There's so much content for it I love it haha Plus there's more that I just can't remember because ugh. I do like Rainbow Rowell. I read the first Harry Potter book but that was it (sorry)

Oh! Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl. It's really funny and also really touching (hence the dying girl part). Anything by John Green. He is pretty much the master of soul-searchy YA novels.

I Love Ransom Riggs, Rick Riordan, Roald Dahl, Judy Blume (SUPER FUUUDGEEEEE) and Joseph Delaney <3

[mylittlesidewearsblack]

Thanks for all the info guys! I like Roald Dahl a lot but he is pretty weird, lol.

[lillejente]

There are so many. Many have been named but here's some of mine:

Harry Potter

some of the fanfic done in Harry's World on Wattpad. If you want actual author names just ask. A few were better than Rowlings

Judy Blume

Anne of green gables series (read it the first time a few yrs ago.)

Any book by Madeline Engels

Later books in little house series

Louisa Mae Alcott (she wrote much more than just Little Women)

Vampire diaries

Mortal instruments

The spin off from that that is in the past

Any Rick Riordan. He has two new series, one an additional continuation to Percy Jackson and one that is Norse Mythology

Fablehaven

[Guest ~*~Sachita~*~]

Tamora Pierce has several series that I read over and over (Lioness, Protector of the Small, Realm of the Gods).

[Caring King]

Well if you like that fantasy stuff I got a few reads that I was into years ago (and are still great)
Golden Compass (and sequels)
Bones of Faerie (a lesser known book but really captured me, pretty dark)
Eragon series
Nightpool (the sequels hold similar dragon-pairing vs evil king premise as Eragon, but with different application)

[mylittlesidewearsblack]

I never got through Eragon. The books just got progressively worse and it made me sad.

Ditto.  I bought the fourth book then never worked up the desire to read it...
