Hello guys,
So it has been a while, due to lack of interest in most YA subjects, and I was wondering if there is anything good out there, that would be an interesting, 300+ page read. Does anybody personally have any good comedy books or something that takes place in Europe (preferably fiction).
Also, yes, I did read TFIOS, allll of the hunger games, currently reading the last "selection" book series.

For comedy, I would read the Paranormalcy trilogy. Super funny and also really good.

Fantasy:
Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas
Percy Jackson and the Olympian series by Rick Riordan
The Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan
The Kane Chronicles trilogy by Rick Riordan
The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare
The Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare
Daughter Of Smoke and Bone trilogy by Laini Taylor
The Raven Cycle quartet by Maggie Stiefvater
Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead
Dystopian:
Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth
Penryn and the End Of Days series by Susan Ee
Legend trilogy by Marie Lu

Sci-fi:
Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout
The 5th Wave trilogy by Rick Yancey
Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer
Contemporary:
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
The books I recommended that are by Rick Riordan are classified as "middle grade fantasy" but they are really good with lots of humour! I think they are great for all ages to read. If you are considering reading the Heroes of Olympus series, you should read the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series first.

I definitely recommend Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days by Susan Ee)

For something a little different since you say you're burnt out of most YA subjects:
His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman
Watership Down by Richard Adams
The Earthsea series by Ursula K. Le Guin
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Tiffany Aching books by Terry Pratchett. These are his YA Discworld books. And if you're looking for witty and funny, you can't do better than Terry Pratchett! He's AMAZING. If you like these books, then I strongly recommend checking out the rest of his adult Discworld books (which honestly aren't a big leap away from YA).
Also, if you find yourself tired of reading YA, there's no harm in branching out into general fiction!
For example, the subject matter of Stephen King's (writing under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman) The Long Walk is actually pretty close to that of the Hunger Games.
