Those are awesome! I also love The Hunger Games and Harry Potter. I've been meaning to read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children for awhile now. :)

Harry Potter, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Six Of Crows, Shatter Me, The Infernal Devices, Simon vs The Homosapiens Agenda

My favorite book of all time will always be a court of mist and fury. I love sarah J. maas as a writer somuch, I love how she is able to create somany complex charracters that are all broken somehow and how her charracters all have the journey of finding hope. I love the theme of the book acomaf and the lessons it teaches about being broken but getting back up again , about having hope. and ugh. This book has been there for me when i felt so bad and made me hope. And these charracters just will always be close to my heart. Other favs are crooked kingdom , the harry potter series , the throne of glass series and the nevernight triology + a new favorite of mine is the last book in the young elites triology midnight star.

Yep I started it just now, and I miss Rhys already :(

My favourite book/s ever are Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo! I mean, what's not to love? Beautifully flawed and diverse characters, amazing relationships, terrifying and exciting plot and SO MANY plot twists!

I NEED to get around to reading Six or Crows

:)

It’s at the top of my TBR right now

I’m going to read it in September! :)

Definetly SJM's ACOTAR series.
No doubt about it :)

My favorites!

I'd say my favorite is...The land of stories maybe I really liked that series!

For me, SIX OF CROWS IS THE MOST AMAZING BOOK EVER ASKFGHASD

Here are a few of my favorite books:
•The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin
•The Pig Who Sang to the Moon by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
•The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters
•The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor
•The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

it's so hard to narrow down a "favourite book" but i think the ones i would die for and defend forever are if we were villains - ml rio, the raven cycle - maggie stiefvater, at the edge of the universe - shaun david hutchinson, the perks of being a wallflower, the beautiful and damned/tender is the night - f. scott fitzgerald, and six of crows (i am BEYOND thrilled for the Netflix series coming up!)

also i love middle grade books like the entire percy jackson series, a series of unfortunate events, and the mysterious benedict society :))

The throne of glass series, A little life, The secret history, the Shatter me series, Kafka on the shore, ... and many others!

Have I responded here yet? Hm, doesn't seem so. I see a lot of love for Percy Jackson in this thread, which makes me quite happy. I wouldn't call the series my favourite, but reading it is kind of like a very enjoyable vacation for me. If that makes sense, lol.

I have a favourites shelf, but that one is faaairly broad. Other than PJO, we got Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, which is so much fun yet rings so true, and Why We Took the Car which got me out of a pretty dark emotional spot a few years ago. Although I don't think it's that genuinely good, I have a real soft spot for Skulduggery Pleasant...it accompanied me through my teenage years, the protagonist aged with me, it just feels really personal. And The Neverending Story was a huge part of my childhood. I read the book so much as a kid that I still can't bring myself to look at the movies again because even though they're beloved by many, they are a more than liberal adaptation and a lot of the themes in the book get lost or even turned into their opposite...but alas, this isn't the thread to ramble on about that.

I think I'm still waiting for the book that really hits me though. Something that I'll love as much and that will mean as much to me as Homestuck did in my teenage years or Madoka Magica in my early twenties up until now. I know it's out there, and when the time is right, it will come to me. Until then though, I'll enjoy the ride with some loose favourites (;

Percy Jackson definitely deserves all the love it gets, but apart from those, My fav books would have to be Six of Crows, Crooked Kingdom, A Curse so Dark and Lonely, and A Heart so Fierce and Broken on the fantasy side, and Heartstopper and The Poet X for contemporaries :)

I recently finished the Six of Crows duology, and I loved it so much! I honestly regret not reading it earlier. It’s definetely one of my favourite series.

I’ve read Good Omens, and I really enjoyed it! It was written in such a humorous manner, even though most of the story revolved around preventing an apocalypse, which you’d think would be a serious issue. I really want to watch the TV adaption of it at some stage.

Good Omens has amazing humour, and when it talks about real life issues, it aged like fine wine...you'd think something would have changed since the 90s, but here we are, still stuck with environmental issues, war and harmful diet culture. The Amazon Prime series is fantastic, one of the few adaptations that was generally met well by book fans. It was really good they had Neil Gaiman himself work on it, so he could bring the book's "spirit" into the series.

I agree, the humour was amazing! I’ll definetely have to check out the TV adaption at some stage, it sounds really good!

The top for me would have to be...
An Ember in the Ashes Series
Red Queen series
Strange the Dreamer
and I'm currently really enjoying the City of Brass series

Arc of Scythe series by Neal Shusterman <3

Oooh definitely The Fault in Our Stars

My fave is Crooked Kingdom, for all the reasons this person said! <3

The Six of Crows duology is DEFINITELY my favourite series of all time, currently. I loved it so much! Anyone who hasn't read it should read it at once when they get their hands on it, and yep, for all of the reasons @Abilovesbooks said about it, I wrote a review on both of them here:

'Six Of Crows'

'Crooked Kingdom'

The Harry Potter series and The Hunger Games series

I love The Hunger Games too how could I forget to add that

The school for good and evil series by Soman Chainani is MY ALL TIME favourite series. It made me cry, laugh and I was in a world so magical I forgot this world even existed. It made me feel like I was right there with the characters. The writing was exquisite, there was so much suspense etc. No other book has made me feel all those emotions like this series did. ^-^

I loved Harry Potter, but it's really hard to choose a favorite book. :)
