Book Recommendations Please?
I am looking for some new books to read, I don't really have a specific genre, but I'll list some of the stuff I have read lately that I enjoyed. I would definitely be interested in stuff similar to this. I am trying to read some of the 'classics' before I branch out into the unknown stuff, but unknown stuff is fine too. •Flowers in the Attic Series – V.C Andrews •The Heaven Series V.C Andrews •Harry Potter Series – J.K Rowling •Narnia Series – C.S Lewis •To Kill A Mockingbird – Harper Lee •War & Peace – Leo Tolstoy •The Catcher in the Rye – J.D Salinger Please no vampire stuff, I'm so over all that. Sorry, forgot to add that I have also read The Hunger Games

- If you enjoyed Harry Potter and Narnia a lot why not try some of the more 'adult' fantasy out there? I'd suggest The Wheel of Time series and the original Dune trilogy if you want some exciting but thought provoking fantasy.
- If your going for the Classics definitely read 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austin- its a must for classical reading education. Otherwise I seriously recommend "Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss, its one of the best books I have read this year. Its like Harry Potter- magical etc, so if you enjoyed HP you will adore this :) Hope this helps :)

Porter Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by Kate Douglas Wiggin Little Women by Louisa May Alcott A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery Black Beauty by Anna Sewell Since you like Harry Potter and Narnia, you might like Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan Gideon Trilogy series by Linda Buckley Archer Read The Brother Grimms Complete Fairy Tales, Disney stole their stories for their own! Take Cinderella, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, all of them! Well, most of them. Both of them are really good, I couldn't put down the book! Hoped this helped! Sorry for the really long list, I really way too many books. Hoped it helped! - Brainy Buddy
