I’m always looking for that next book to read so I’m willing to take recommendations from others, especially if I know that person likes to read similar books. Anyway, if you like to read, I wouldn’t mind hearing your recommendations for some new literature for me to read.
Genre: Horror, science fiction, fantasy, mystery & thriller. I can take in the occasional romance if it’s good.
Have read: The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling, the Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis, the Last Apprentice series by Joseph Delaney, the Locke & Key series by Joe Hill, the Stoneheart trilogy by Charlie Fletcher, the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, Hallowe’en Party by Agatha Christie, Murder Has a Motive by Frances Duncan, Murder for Christmas by Frances Duncan, The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly, The Cellar by Natasha Preston, The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle by Janet Fox, Carrie by Stephen King, The Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill, The Host by Stephenie Meyer, etc.
Books I refuse to read: The Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian. I read this book once upon a time and I really got into it at first but the ending disappointed me. This book really turned me away from that particular author and I won’t read anything remotely similar again.
Age Range: I normally read young adult and up. I will read children’s literature if it’s good enough to hold my interest (Harry Potter series is a good example).
You should try the Maze Runner series. The movies are terrible but the books are great!
I highly recommend anything by Mitch Albom and Nicholas Sparks.
The Wednesday Letters is a great read and judging by what you’ve read, I think you’d really like it.
Sophie’s Choice by William Styron is a fantastically sad classic. A definitely must read.
I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max is a great read, too.
Same goes for The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas. They made a series out of the book that was alright but didn’t do the book justice at all.
Your first book should be Anyway by Kent M. Keith though. It’s a quick and easy read that really gets you to think/rethink.
Good luck!

I’m not much of a book worm these days, but your taste in literature is right on par with what I’d typically read when I was in school. When I was younger, I read the Harry Potter series a number of times, as that’s just a childhood classic. Everyone was reading Harry Potter then. Like you, I’ve also read the Chronicles of Narnia and the Twilight series.
The above commenter recommended checking out the Maze Runner series, and I can agree with this. In my limited experience with reading books, this is another series of books that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I’ve not tried the Maze Runner series yet. I’ve heard a lot about it but I’ve had so much to read that I’ve not tried it yet. I think I’ll just get that put on my Kindle. It looks like something I might enjoy the next time I am traveling somewhere.
