What are good books to read?
I'm looking to broaden my horizons a bit and read some new books. I'll read almost anything, but I have a weakness for young adult fiction. Some of my favorite genres are dystopian fiction, urban fantasy, science fiction, etc. But I like fiction in general, too. Before you propose, you've already read Hunger Games and I refuse to read Twilight. Honestly, not at least we're vampires Buffy talking against vampires. But if you have other suggestions, I'm all ears! Well, Ender's Game is quite impressive. I read the first time twelve years ago now. For a long Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow were the only two books I've traveled with. I'll be honest, if I never liked any of his other works. Although I am considering to take a Pathfinder.
For young adults is: Prom Dates from Hell (Book of Meggie Quinn, Girl vs. evil series by Rosemary Clement Moore.) Almost perfect if you like Buffy. It's like a less capable and a bit less likely that the version of Buffy. No vampires, however, only the demons. Encore: Devilish by Maureen Johnson once, good for a Buffy fan, although, again, there are no real vampires. Only devils. And the angels! Hover by Scott Westerfeld: Yeah, I'm uncomfortable peeps put here all his books. As the only vampire. But good vampire, vampire no Twilight. Or if you still refuse, they are his other books, including series Ugly (science fiction / dystopian) Midnighters Trilogy (science fiction / urban fantasy), Leviathan and the new series (which I'm sure this is Steampunk you? do not read if …) The Giver by Lois Lowry Series: Series impressive. Dystopian. The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan: The most dystopian Scorpion House Nancy Farmer, and more to the secret depths of dystopian Diana Wynne Jones is fantastic. Honestly, all of their stuff rocks, but one of the "big" and also about the closest Urban Fantasy if … Oh, and by fire and hemlock. It kindda unique urban sortta. Maybe. Tithe by Holly Black: Another urban fantasy. Fairies no vampires. Three books in the series. You can also check the new series with its workers curse … a book so far, as Urban Fantasy, but a little less exceptional (The man with magical powers, unlike the fairies) along these lines … Clare Cassandra Mortal Instruments by Chris Wooding Poison: This is just a good book. It's fantastic, but not in urban areas, but I recommend it. And some tips for the adult section: the war for the Oaks by Emma Emma pretty well invented Toro Toro the genre of urban fantasy in the 80's, and this is his first book. The best thing is to check if for no other reason then because it was one of the first in the gender. But it is a good book, then … American Gods by Neil Gaiman: Well, actually anything by Neil Gaiman. It's awesome. Thursday Next series Jasper Fforde: This is a series of big books. But it is not easy and much of the humor comes from knowing that the references to classical literature and literary tropes in general, so if I want to think too much, to save a day later. In addition, the shades of gray is pretty impressive too. Lonely Werewolf Girl by Martin Millar Martin Millar impressive, but kindda impossible at first. From the letter, the first of 20 pages of this book, I thought "this is the dumbest thing ever, why Am I reading this? "But somewhere along the line, stop being silly and starts to be very epic. I mean seriously, this is a werewolf named Princess Kalix addicted to laudanum. It is silly injuries. But it is not. And that is why Martin Millar is impressive.
