I'll also recommend Warcross by Marie Lu

My sister read Legend, she loved it but by the time she finished she was in tears, so I don't think I'll read it haha!

I'll recommend Cinder and Heartless by Marissa Meyer, especially those who love fairytale retellings like me 🤣

The Forgotten Garden is an amazing book, especially if you love The Secret Garden

And for those who love fantasy, I'll say Dragon School: First Flight :)

I'd like to recommend Fahrenheit 451.
I'm still reading it-but it's really worth reading guys!


message 18: by C.H. (new)

C.H. | 9 comments Can someone please lead me to a good book? Something like The Truth About Sparrows, or The Raven King Trilogy, no fantasy. Maybe even something like The Rangers Apprentice? Anyone? I'm desperate.....


message 19: by Audrey (new)

Audrey (niceyackerman) No fantasy? I can’t relate. ;)

Hmm, close to Ranger’s Apprentice would be The False Prince, I guess.


message 20: by Aqsa, Dracarys! (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 10619 comments Mod
I recommend All the Bright Places but it's definitely a heartbreaker.


message 21: by Aqsa, Dracarys! (new)

Aqsa (her_747) | 10619 comments Mod
I also recommend The Kite Runner. It's just so good. You should definitely read it.

Amy (won't be online for a while. sorry to all the groups i'm in!) (mattbatt) | 184 comments Definitely one of us is lying and Simon vs the homocepian agenda and just read books by the author of love Simon and if you like those books read approximately Alex by Jenn Bennet


message 28: by Saarah (new)

Saarah Niña (saarahnina) | 197 comments Yep... I'm a big fan of One of Us is lying. I never saw that ending coming.

Top of my list for recommendations at the moment is Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. It's so real and funny as well. There are sad moments too.

The Kite Runner is a book that I wasn't so inclined on reading but it definitely proved me wrong. It's an amazing book, albeit full of heart breaks but amazing nonetheless. I highly recommend it.

I bought both of them. I am yet to read them. I've heard so many good things about A Thousand Splendid Suns. But I don't know about The Mountains Echoed. Hope it's good. U didn't like it?


message 40: by Jana ✧ (new)

Jana ✧ I kinda liked it but I didn’t finish it because it took me so long to finish it like i’d read a few chapters every month then I stopped

Yes, the series is very well written. I highly recommend the series to voracious readers, for you can't stop reading it. I finished the book in one sitting!
