I like to balance my reading between fiction and non-fiction

I started re-reading the Harry Potter series just a few days ago. It has been years since I had read them, so this will be fun.

I'm also reading "The Bedford Boys", a WW2 book about a group of 19 boys from a town called Bedford who all lost their lives during the opening assault on D-Day.

Hi Percival! That sounds like a good read, I might have to try it. Typically I read more fictional books however I do enjoy some books on WW2. If I could ask you to sign up here that would be great, just so I can know who is posting here. Thank you!!

You have to read the Naturals series if you're into Thriller/ Mystery. It's a 4-book series involving a Human lie-detector, A person who can literally read emotions, People who can crawl into your mind and figure out what you are thinking, a human calculator, and the FBI!
The fourth book goes really into the cult trope though and gets a little confusing, so the ending isn't the most satisfactory (at least for me) but the first 3 books are amazing and you should definitely read them at least, and give the fourth book a shot too (you will after reading the first 3). The plot twists will keep you up at night.

I highly recommend a two book series called A Study in Drowning and A Theory of Dreaming! These books are absolutely amazing and follow the story of a first year university student, Effy, and her adventure uncovering a secret that’s been twisted ever since a famous book for her country came out. With the help of Preston, they work together to uncover the real story! I won’t spoil anything more, but it’s amazing!

I actually started this series! It's really interesting so far!

I totally recommend the Powerless trilogy. It's a very interesting series, I can say that. You never know what's going to happen. It involves a girl with no special gifts or powers living among people in a kingdom full of power. Somehow, she manages to fool everyone, including the princes! After reading the first book, you're going to be hooked enough to want to read the last two, Reckless and Fearless. I don't want to spoil it but the journey that Paedyn and Kai take is absolutely incredible, with twists, turns, drama, trauma and romance. Beautifully written!! 100% recommend it!

The third one is the perfect ending! So many things are really unexpected!

I'm excited now! @Kai Draxon

By the way, has anyone read Aurora rising?
I just started the series on a recommendation and it seems nice so far...
