    Ok! I’ve only read one Rick Riordan book, and it was really good. So I’ll have to try another! Also a brief history of time sounds very interesting, so I will definitely read it.

    1. Catcher in the Rye. If it wasn't recommended in school, I still think you should read it. It is a lovely story and once understood shows the perils of adolescence. 2. Axioms End. If you like sci-fi stuff. Written by a Youtuber and is actually really good. So is her channel. 3. Fahrenheit 451. Might be a bit confusing but it is totally worth it. 4. Leaving Time. Easy to read, easy to follow, will really surprise you. 5. A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Solider. A bit on the darker side but it is worth a read to see it from their eyes.

    I’ve just finished “The Lost Apothecary “, and liked it so well that I was disappointed when it ended. “The Choice”, by Dr. Edith Eger, an Auschwitz survivor and much lauded psychologist, who now lives in the US. She discusses how she survived her horrifying treatment during (and even after) the Holocaust. She then goes on to tell us that we’re able to make “The Choice” about how we can process our traumas, to be able to move forward to live life as fully as possible. She’s very compassionate, and explains why we should never diminish our own suffering by comparing it to another’s. Not even hers. As a person with complex PTSD, it changed my life! “The Girl With the Louding Voice”. Set in contemporary Africa, a young teenage girl is sold into marriage, and has many terrible trials throughout her young life. She is very intelligent, and all she wants in life is the chance for an education. A window is given into the horrible conditions in which destitute people living in third-world countries suffer. Despite my description, it is a tale of perseverance, survival, and strength.

    East Of Eden by John Steinbeck May be considered a bit of a classic but it's very easy reading and practically unputdownable. Gripping. Also as a modern page turner I would go for: The Catch by T. M. Logan Twisty and very, very hard to put down. You'll want to read it in one sitting.

    "East of Eden" is in my top 3. The magnificence of his writing is damn near perfection. It was the writing aesthetic itself that made me love it, more so than the story (which was fantastic as well). My current copy is paperback and I use it to press delicate blossoms, I underline my favorite passages, (which I will read over and over) and I have notes in the margins. This is MY book and I love it and the novel means so much to me.

    Most of mine have already been mentioned, but if you like "pre-teen" and fantasy books, then the Nevermoor series would be good for you. the three books so far are Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow, Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow, and Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow. It is a currently on-going series, and is really good so far. Hollowpox and it's ending is by far my favorite book. Also the Wizards of Once quadrilogy(four books)the series finished not that long ago, and it is really good, in the same genre as the Nevermoor series, it also has a good mystery and world building.
