Well for starters you need to read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson before anything then after maybe read Legend, that’s a good easy read series. Romance: Better Than The Movies, The Cheat Sheet, 5 Feet Apart
Fantasy/Dystopian: Keeper Of The Lost Cities, Lunar Chronicles, Shadow and Bone, Six Of Crows
Those are just from the top of my mind and I didn’t read all of those but y’a I heard those are good and all of those are appropriate for 13/14 year olds if you wanted to know
Personally I wouldn’t recommend Legend series. It’s very overhyped in my opinion. I would recommend another one of Marie Ali’s series, like The Young Elites
the fault in our stars in rlly good, but it is more for 14-15
The Folk of the Air trilogy is what got me into read so def recommend!Also recommend any of the books from the Grishaverse
(Shadow&Bone, Six ofCrows, King of Scars)
I definitely recommend the keeper of the lost cities. It is a long book with I believe 9 books and a 10th coming out soon (as well as a half book with a 200 mini story at the end), I find it’s very fast paced and an easy starter. This book also has no spicy scenes so it’s good for starting if you don’t know how comfortable you are with that kind of stuff, anyways highly recommend!!

I agree also folk of air series
Keeper of the lost cities is a cute book series. One of my favorite it was the book series that got me into reading.
ACOTAR!!! The books are very large but the writing is so good, you'll fly through it! I highly highly highly recommend!
I think a really good “starter” would be the Off Campus series! Starting with “The Deal”It’s got good plot and a fair amount of light spice that isn’t potentially overwhelming for a “beginner” 🫶
Shatter me is a good series if you haven’t read any fantasy/dystopian books before, although it is quite a long series. If want a shorter one, Shadow and bone is alright though not my favourite- six of crows is better!
I know she's controversial, but Colleen Hoover books are easy and addicting. I'd recommend Ugly Love, Verity, or Reminders of Him.
The off campus series for romance and the caraval series for fantasy!Also CoHo books are really good for beginers
27 Truths: Ava's Story A Court of Thorns and Roses
Filthy Rich Boys
Signs of Cupidity
Consort of Secrets
January
Working Girl
Manwhore
Cheyenne
This Man
Twist Me
Bared to You
Beautiful Bastard
Fugly
Matefinder
Crave Me
Purple Orchids
Verity
It Ends At Midnight ive just finshed reading that book and im a beginner reader and i loved it! and now im on her second book blood orange and already loving this one too! I Would defo recommond looking in charity shops for some of the books you want to start reading or like the sound of just to get you into reading.
here’s a few recommendations from when i started!-the caraval trilogy (fantasy/hint of romance)
-the folk of the air trilogy (fantasy/ enemies to lovers)
-red queen series (fantasy/dystopian/ some romance)
-shatter me series (dystopian/love triangle trope)
-ace of spades (thriller/mystery)
-a good girls guide to murder series (thriller/mystery)
-the inheritance games (mystery/romance sub-plot)
-the seven husbands of evelyn hugo (romance/ fiction)
The summer I turned pretty is so good just finished the first one recommend it! it also has 3 books in the series :)
i would recommend folk of air triology it my all time fav and it's a quick read. shadow and bone triology and six of crows duology is also very good Dreamland billionare I will recommend oh and also twisted series
Well first I would say, never start with Colleen Hover books, because they’re not a form of escapism, they’re a form of realism. And escapism is what makes books and reading so addictive.Second off all I would start with popular good rated books of social media. Don’t worry to be “basic” because those books are popular for a reason!!
Some other books I would really recommend are the Harry Potter series, The Hunger Game series, And The Maze Runner series!! These are really great examples of escapism books!! And also, they have movies, which will encourage you to finish the books, because you could watch the movie after (:
Last I would recommend you to read as many different genres as possible, so you can decide what you like and what you don’t like. And if you don’t like a genre, don’t immediately quit on reading because you didn’t like 1 book. Use it as an experience!! And talk about it with people on forums like this to share your opinion (:
I hope this helped you!!
I HIGHLY recommend the ‘Missing’ series by Sophie McKenzie, very light but super good thrillers I finished them in about 3 days🩷 so good if ur getting into reading too you’ll be hooked✨
