The Lunar Chronicles is a great series. It has all your favorite fairy tale stories but with a twist. Like for example, on the first book Cinder, Cinder is a mechanic, but was also a cyborg. It is a amazing series. I'm on the 3rd book Cress. There are 4 books in the series with a 3.5 book between Cress and Winter.

Hello!(Sorry for my english, it's not my first language)
I'm looking for some great books. Not just good books, not books you think are great, but then forget about them. I need some really good books, books that will haunt me, get me obsessed about them and fangirl over. You feel me?
What I like the most?
Great, interesting, complex characters. (I have a weakness for bad-but-really-misunderstood-and-miserable guys. I also love when characters are strange/funny/sad... idk, special)
Believable relationships - love, friendships, [family]. (I ADORE great love stories, BUT i hate it when there's insta love and book is basically just about that love).
I love it when book makes me both cry and laugh, I love both drama & humour. Some ridiculousness, mad ideas and mystery too.
I like original atmosphere. Original (poetic, beautiful, strange) writing would be welcome too.
What are my favorite books/series?
The Infernal Devices I love it so much it hurts me. (TMI was cool too, but not in my favorites)
The Raven Cycle
The 5th wave
Shatter Me
Bloodlines (actually I've read only first two books for now, but i love this. TVA wasn't so great at all for me)
Throne Of Glass (haven't read ACoTaR yet, but i will for sure)
Ourlander
Mistborn
Forgive me, Leanord Peacock
I'll Give You The Sun
The Book Thief
The Little Prince
& Rainbow Rowell (Eleanor & Park!!!), John Green & Jodi Picoult
Please help me discover something beautiful (:
Hello! I recommend "Pointe", by Brandy Ccolbert and "Positive", which is an autobiography by Paige Rawl, among others. Good luck with your new books!
You should read Throne of Glass!!Let's Read for a group to read with, a media mix after to review and history questions etc!
I just got the Throne of Glass in and I couldn't be more excited. Normally I do a third person review and tell you a teaser/summary of the story. This is a little different. I've read all over the internet about the success of Let's Play Videos. So Let's Read.
(Join in wherever you are or come back here if you want to start from the start- it's the great thing about the internet, we're right here waiting for you, so move at your own pace :)
I'm up to the fourth Chapter and I'm already enchanted. She's strong, she's well trained, she's single-minded. She refuses to give up. It doesn't hurt that Celaena is incredibly beautiful as well, I think that every girl fantasizes about that (although, in all seriousness- a little eyeliner on the corners of your eyes, some soft lipliner, mascara and one video on facial planing and you'll fall in love with your own face).
To top it all off Celaena is an assassin, and an oppressed one- even though she's the best. She's a prisoner who's been trapped in the salt mines of Adarlan, and she's survived it, because she's worth it. Now she's about to be entered into a game of Assassins, with her freedom as the prize- after three years of service.
I was amazed at her response. But if she's survived this long Aena has got to have something up her sleeve. The summary heavily implied a love triangle between herself, the captain of the guard, and the prince, so the intrigue is starting already.
I'm in character love.
I'm not in research love. They have a team of guards that dies rather than kill her (um, srsly?), and a sword with a carved eagle pommel. Um, it's called a pommel for a reason, you use it to move the sword around when you stand up and sit down- that'd poke your hand. Also it'll throw the balance on the sword off, and from the clothing descriptions it ain't exactly a freakin claymore.
I still bought it, and I still intend to sit here and eat my cotton candy, and love every character driven, possibly plot wonderful second of it. I'm a little worried about what will happen when we hit the magic, due to the research level, but it's a fun anticipation.
So, let's read.

I'm trying to read more books in the YA fantasy/sci-fi genre. I normally read contemporary fiction. However this year I've read - illuminae, six of crows and I just finished red queen. All of these I surprisingly loved. I'm looking for recommendations of books that aren't too high fantasy. I have these holds at the library and I'm not sure if these are suitable for Someone like me - red rising, raven boys, ACOTAR, Lies of Locke lamora, shadow and bone and throne of glass. However I feel the Sarah J Maas ones might be too high fantasy for me??
Does anyone have any thoughts or other recommendations?
Do you like realistic fiction books? Because there are a ton of realistic fiction YA books that are super good. I have red Red Queen, Six of Crows, The Selection, Twilight, and a bunch of other books. I'm trying to find something with those books above qualities.

For some teen romance I suggest
Looking for recommendations! My taste in YA:I love teen romance (college romance too) and teen murder. I am not a fantasy person and I don't mind supernatural (this depends on the book). I would prefer no dystopian as I have already read a lot of that. Medium spice (no extreme spice please but obviously good romance).
Some books I have read for examples:
While not teens, Sophie Kinsella’s books are low spice and high humor. They are really funny with a great romance. Undomestic Goddess is a great one to start on.
