Hi Ella!
I HIGHLY second these recommendations, particularly Howl's Moving Castle and Sabriel ! These are two fantastic fantasy stories, both extremely well-written and witty with little hints of romance. Howl is a nice short read, while Sabriel is a longer read, so you might want to take that into consideration as well. They are both parts of series, but they make great stand-alone books as well! Hope you enjoy!

I completely agree with this. I cannot recommend The Nightingale highly enough.mgosselin137 wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 06:53 For historical fiction I would recommend The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett or The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. For Fantasy I would recommend The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind. I have found all of these to be easy reads and great books to get lost in.
Also, if you are interested in World War II historical fiction, Lilac Girls, by Martha Hall Kelly, is an amazing read.

Have you heard of The Need series by Carrie Jones? If you happen to be a Twilight fan, you might really like this series. I personally enjoyed this series FAR BETTER than the Twilight series. The Need series deals with a human, pixies, shapeshifters. That's all I'll give ya! It's a YA series too. I think I must have read the first book at least 3 or 4 times. There are four books in this series as well.
Happy Reading!
