Do you have a Kindle? If not, GET A KINDLE lol. I know people will always go "ahhh, but the feel of a boooook...." but really, seriously, if you read a lot, get a Kindle. I think I have close to a thousand books on mine. There are free recommendations every day and books for £1 which gets you to try a whole load of new books without filling up your bookshelf. You can try different genres to see if you like it without worrying about spending £10 on a book that you don't enjoy sitting on your shelf. Also; you can take it anywhere, and the charge lasts about a month. 

 

I won't give book recommendations because I think you have loads of good ones here, but I will recommend a Kindle if you don't have one xD To clarify, I mean a "proper" Kindle, the ones that aren't back-lit and that look like paper, not the ones that look like iPads :)

 

Ok, also, I'll recommend a book. The Stormlight series is awesome.

hmm.. rn my main source of books is finding random free pdfs on the internet and when my library occasionaly has ebooks in lol. i will look into a kindle though!

I kind of would recommend the book The Walls Have Ears.

Its about an intelligence agency in the Tower of London during World War 2 that puts listening devices in all of the prisoners’ rooms. This helps them learn tons of secrets about Germany, like the concentration camps and German war plans.

 I don’t know if this would be a book that you’re interested in reading, and it’s kind of complicated, but it’s still a good book!

Maybe it's only a Canadian thing, but I use an app called Libby, you enter your library card and library, and through the device you can access any book in that library, (although sometimes you do have to place it on hold) for free! I find it super nice because as long as you have a library card, you can have a library wherever you go. :)

I have a Kindle Paperwhite, and I read a lot. I bought it when I realized that my reading speed is similar to yours. By the way, of the fantasy books, I really liked the Vampire Academy book series and its sequel. I remember running to the bookstore near my house several times a weekend for the next installment in the series. I also liked the Percy Jackson series and the Heroes of Olympus books. Now I read more popular science fiction, but sometimes I like to listen to a fantasy novel in audio format https://www.howtofire.com/is-audible-worth-it-audible-review/.

hello!

i am an extremely fast reader, to the point where a freak my teachers out lol. if i like the book i can finish a 300+ page book in two hours.

 

so im running out of ideas. my teachers are running out of ideas. ive read everything they reccomend. 

heres some info on stuff i like to read:

fav books: twilight saga, the selection series, divergent

fav genre: mostly realistic fiction, with a bit of romance (nothing too... well ahem... my mom likes me to keep it pg13 lol), some dystopian

fav authors: nicola yoon, kiera cass, stephanie meyer

 

so.. yea

the problem is i read multiple grade levels above, but for my sanity and my moms i dont like reading the topics in books that are my level...

 

any help is appreciated!

For teen girls, I love the confessions of Georgia Nicholson by Louise Rennison. I laughed so hard and I still quote it all the time.
