I’m currently deciding between

2) The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
3) The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer
4) Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
5) The Ashley Bell Series by Dean Koontz

One of these will be read after I finish my TBR pile I have at home.

Red Rising and Lilith brood are some of my all time favorite series. The kind of books that you need to take a break after. When I read Lilith brood I actually stopped reading for almost a month before I picked it right back up again because I couldn’t get over it.

I’m going to exclude Harry Potter. So, top 5 would be: The Cemetery of Forgotten Books by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Shades of Magic trilogy by V.E.Schwab, The Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy by Laini Taylor, The Grisha trilogy and Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo and The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater.
