List of favourite books/novels/etc.

That awkward moment when you're broke AF but you still choose to spend your money on books instead of food and survival, but you know, it's all good. As long as I'm alive LMAO
I've received a question on ASK, asking me who are my favourite authors outside of AFF, so I thought that I should might as well just make a blogpost about all the books I have read since I was younger until know, and that I actually liked.

If you don't see a particular book's title and you think it's scandalous that it is not up here, it's becuase I haven't put it up just yet or I don't know about it!

Damn, this blog post is lief. *o*
I read some of the series and books but I am definitely putting all these in my book list!
Having a slight understanding of your book taste, I'd also like to recommend you The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It's perfect; just brilliant!

Omg!!! We have very similar taste in books judging from all of Rick Riordan's stuff you read!

Sarah Dessen's a good romance YA novelist, I read most of her works. Try the Ruby Red series by Kerstin Gier too, it was actually a German series but it was translated to English. It's about a girl with time traveller's genes and I think you'd like it based on Rick riordan's kind of stories. The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo is good too, it's set in 1900's in Malacca and it's more of an action/fantasy book than it is romance.. but yeah I have a lot other books I've read but these are the ones that popped up in my head

from your list I've read: the harry potter series, percy jackson, to kill a mockingbird, 1984, lord of the flies, of mice and men, animal farm, and the great gatsby. they're all really nice books! :)
i recommend paulo coelho omg, he's my favorite author of all time! I've read most of his books and they really changed the way I view life. I'm pretty sure you've heard of the famous book, 'The Alchemist'! That's written by him. ^^
mmm, i've had many people talk about haruki murakami so i've tried picking up a book of his (two in fact), but it didn't really go over the high expectations i had for it... it disappointed me, but then again, my friend said it was really good so hmm
