Popular books
What are some popular books I should read? I like to read, but I am bad at picking good books. LOL! Can you tell me titles you loved, or what you have been dying to read next? Thank you.

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Doesn't Fit Any Of These Categories?
Well, there are so many books out there perhaps we should break it down a bit.
The first things I would do is figure out is your personal interests. For example, if you have no interest whatsoever in History, a biography of an old president or historical thriller will likely bore you a bit.
While you can easily break down the types of books into two broad categories - Fiction and Non-Fiction, we can delve into this even deeper with more targeted genres.
Fiction (stories not based on reality)
Some sub-genres and suggestions:
Science Fiction/Fantasy -

19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult
The Pact by Jodi Picoult
House Rules by Jodi Picoult
The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult
I literally couldn't put any of these books down, especially 19 Minutes and The Pact. Those are my top two favorite books by her. But anything written by Jodi Picoult in my opinion will be a good read.
The Accident by Danielle Steel
Johnny Angel by Danielle Steel
The Long Road Home by Danielle Steel
Malice By Danielle Steel
Fine Things by Danielle Steel
These books are hard to put down too, especially The Accident and Johnny Angel. I think I read Johnny Angel in a day. My whole family read that book one after another and we all agreed it was great. Even my dad. Like Jodi Picoult, any of Danielle Steel's book will be a great choice.
Also I LOVE the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling. I have loved it since I read the first book in 5th grade. (Which was 9 years ago! haha) But to this day I still love that series.
The Hunger Games Triology by Suzanne Collins. I've only read the first one so far, but I heard from many of my friends that the last two books are just as good.
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I had to read it for high school and I thought it was going to be one of those boring, stupid books that teachers make you read. I figured I would just skim through it barely reading it. Boy was I wrong. I loved this book so much, it was fantastic.
Hopefully this list gives you some ideas! :) Happy reading
