Some other fantasy series that I really enjoyed include The Wrath & the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh. That is a two book series. As well as the Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray.
I am currently reading My Heart and other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga. I am not very far into it but it is a decent read so far. Disclaimer though, there is a lot of talk about suicide.
Good luck finding some books!

Platinumpusheen wrote:I really liked Libba Brays Gemma Doyle series. None of Libba Brays books has ever disappointed me. Right now I'm reading the series again, just because I fell like it. I'm on the last book at the moment, and am just dreading the end(in which a certain someone dies ). In the back, Libba Bray said that she MIGHT come back to the book.
I absolutely LOVE this series! One of my favorites growing up. I haven't read the series in a while but whenever I glance at my wall of books my eyes wander to those in particular. I don't know if I have ever read any of her other books. Thinking I should after I re read the series. It's so GOOD!

The Percy Jackson series and the books that go with it are amazing (there's three series, the first two have five books and the third has one so far). There's a lot, but they're well worth it!
The Harry Potter series is also amazing.
The Mortal Instruments series and all the books that go with it (there's probably about 10 books for Shadowhunters) although there's a lot, they're great!
The Hunger Games.
The Trylle Trilogy and The Kanin Chronicles by Amanda Hocking.
An Unfortunate Fairytale by Chanda Hahn.
The Selection Series.
Half Bad.
Willow by Julia Hoban is one of the best books ever created.
The Divergent books.
I am Number Four (my boyfriend loves it, I haven't read it)
Hush Hush series.
The Maze Runner.
If I Stay.
All of the books by John Green
Animal Farm.
The Walking Dead comics.
I could name hundreds more...
Try second hand stores, yard sales, or the library!

- All The Rage by Courtney Summers contains rape, as a warning--however, it has a beautiful love story inside despite that. Lyrical, gorgeous writing.
- Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson is a collection of poems describing her experience growing up as an African-American in the Southern '60s. The poems are BEAUTIFUL and inspired me to start writing my own. This book touched my heart so much I decided to base a project on the author.
- Dime by E. R. Frank is a stomach-twisting YA read, though be warned as it contains rape and child trafficking. The main character has a beautiful heart, and though it's a difficult book to get through I'm glad I read it.
- Pax by Sara Pennypacker broke my heart. It's a compelling story about a boy and the relationship he holds with his pet fox; it explores war, injury, and nature.
- Golden Boys by Sonya Hartnett is written about a cluster of Australian kids dealing with relationships with their family and friends. One family's father is an alcoholic; another's is a pervert. These children are developed so well, and their stories broke my heart--I think everyone can find some of their childhood in Hartnett's tale. It's rare to find a book written in her lyrical language.
Romance-wise:
- The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B by Teresa Toten is great--and discusses OCD, anxiety, and hoarding very well. It's not all centered on romance.
- Bone Gap by Laura Ruby is an amazing story, tossing between a kidnapped Polish girl and a farm boy, younger brother of her true love, who's set on bringing her back. The young boy has a love story of his own, and the book explores fantasy like none other.
- Eleanor and Park and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell are also really great romance reads. Check them out!
