So I LOVE READING. I don’t know about you, but reading is one of my favourite things to do in my free time. You are transported to a different place, a different era, a different world, or just a different life. You can escape the world you live in now, forgetting about anything that is causing stress or unwanted emotions.
There are many different books and novels out there in the world. Even if you sort them into different genres such as fantasy and romance, there are still many to choose from. It can be hard deciding what to choose next so I am going to recommend some books I enjoy that you could try reading next, when you can’t decide.
Fantasy
Fantasy is a fictional world, which normally consists of magic, elves and other mythical characters. One of my favourite fantasy books (okay more like series) is Harry Potter. Yes I know what your thinking, Harry Potter? Everyone knows that, but I think it should still have an honourable mention. If you haven’t read this then you really should, it delves into an eleven year old boys life, who finds out he’s a wizard on his birthday. The books show the experiences he and his friends go through with school and an evil wizard who is set on destroying them.
Young adult
Young adult books are aimed at teenagers. They are normally baised on experinces 12-18 year olds may have had. All The Bright Places is a book about two people who aren’t in the greatest places with themselves, who find each other and start to care for one another. SPOILER ALERT!!! Kinda…. It does have a sad ending, which I was surprised but it just makes the book more emotional. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone.
Romance
I’ve only just started reading romances, as my friends have got me started on them recently. I haven’t read loads yet, but one I love is Me Before You. I have only recently read this but it’s amazing. It’s about a women who gets let go from her job, due to it closing down and then goes on to become a carer for a man who has been injured in a car accident. You see the two’s relationship and perspective of each other progressively change throughout the book.
If you aren’t sure of any, a good choice to start with is the Twilight Saga. This combines all three genres I have discussed already. It is definitely in my top books I’ve read. It includes vampires, werewolves, a love triangle and focuses on teenagers lives.
A Friends Recommendation
A book series I would definitely recommend to anyone is The Chaos Walking series. It follows the story of Todd Hewitt, a boy who grows up in a dystopian world where everyone can hear and see each other’s thoughts as Noise. It’s a amazing trilogy with a rush of adventurer, a taste of war and a dash of romance, following Todd as he turns from a boy to a man.
