This will probably surprise nobody, but growing up I basically spent every waking minute reading books.
Fantasy/Science Fiction are my favorite genres, particularly of the British variety. I have always been extremely partial to the works of Diana Wynne Jones, especially the Chrestomanci series.

I was kinda disappointed that Hogwarts wasnāt real lol
BTW I get Ravenclaw a lot when I do quizzes but my personality online is pretty Hufflepuff, and itās usually a close second, so makes perfect sense! I feel like if I do take a quiz again (havenāt in a while) I would have a higher percentage Hufflepuff then beforeā¦ in fact, Iāll do it now!
Them being stuck in the Shire is definitely the most boring part lol
I love reading!! 90% of what I read is fantasy/dystopian stuff. I donāt usually re-read books though, so many of the seriesā Iāve read have become one continuous story in my head and I think thatās fine. There have been some good mentions here: Eragon, Divergent, Wings of Fire (wings of fire is so much darker than it appears to be at first, mostly because of the cold blooded murder, definitely a must read!). I also have some more to add for those that are making a list: My Side Of The Mountain, Harris and Me, Hatchet (and many other books by Gary Paulsen!), the whole Chronologicals of Narnia, Because Iāll Never Meet You, Miss Peregrineās Home for Peculiar Children, and Dragon Riders. Some of these are dark, some are for a younger audience, but they are all good according to me. I also like graphic novels, but I havenāt made a massive Notes table of the graphic novels Iāve read, so, just from memory, Hidden Witch and Amulet are really good. The last (9th) book of Amulet just came out and itās pretty good so thatās nice.

I used to LOVE those books! The fourth was my absolute favorite in elementary school. For some reason I always am told both hufflepuff and ravenclaw, so hopefully your prediction is the correct one, coming from a very dedicated reader!

Yeah, I mean only knowing the word ācharizardā limits the texts significantly!

Thatās so sad!! I hope you learn how soon! Itās really cool, but once you learn, you can never not automatically translate all text into words in your head, which is very weird.

I only watched one of the Beasts movies and, even after reading every book (and that one play about Harryās son (yes I Read a play (yes I did use multiple parentheses inside other parentheses. This is a place full of coders, they will understand))) I have to agree. Not because of the authorāsā¦ controversies, just because the books are basically the same story arc every book. It seems that Harry forgets about the power of friendship at the beginning of every book, and then remembers it by the end of every book. I actually liked the play better, honestly. Oh wow, that is a wall of text. Definitely not to attack those that like Harry Potter though. I definitely enjoyed it when I read the whole thing in one summer in middle school!!! Itās just not really something I would recommend now, is all.

I read the Silmarillion in high school, which is a prequel to the LOTR trilogy. I really enjoyed the story (knowing little of the LOTR at the time), but I remember it being wickedly dense.
I really enjoyed reading Arthur Conan Doyleās Sherlock Holmes works, and Iāve read some of the more contemporary books that were written long afterward, like those from Nicholas Meyer. (The theatrical version of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution might be my favorite Sherlock Holmes movie ever.) I also really enjoy works by one of Conan Doyleās contemporaries, Agatha Christie. The recent Hercule Poirot movies by Ken Branaugh have been splendid adaptations.
Philip Pullmanās His Dark Materials series was excellent. Most recently, Iāve read Brent Weeksās series Lightbringer and Night Angel. Theyāre super long books, but they were amazing! Looks like heās started a new series that I need to get into!
I do read a LOT of technical books ā¦ but those donāt count, do they?
