Six of Crows. You've probably read it but it's so good I love it.
The house on the cerulean sea; people are gonna kill me for saying this but imo it's even better than six of crows and six of crows is god tier for me. This book is my soul
Cemetery boys; I mostly like it because it's a really cute trans gay romance and I am trans and gay, but it is really cute!
The gilded wolves; not as good as the firs trow, but still very enjoyable. The ending of the trilogy felt a bit forced though.
These rebel waves; very very good! I liked this one a ton and although I just finished the series, is probably up there in my favourite books.
I'll comment on this with any more if I remember them. All of these are found family and at least a little bit queer btw

I got into the Artemis Fowl book series last winter and read each book about a hundred times. It’s a magical realism sort of book, there’s seven in the series and they are written by Eoin Colfer.

"Snow Crash" By Neil Stephenson. Long before everyone else, this book helped create the "cyberpunk" genre of science fiction.
Other must reads:
"Hogfather" by Sir Terry Pratchett
"The Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley
"Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman

If you're into Horror then I'd recommend Brian Keene. Even though his earlier work is better than the latest publications imo. "The Rising ", "City of the Dead", "Dead Sea" or "Earthworm Gods" are very good.

If you're into historical fiction, I like Simon Scarrow & Conn Iggulden books.
I prefer their writing style to Bernard Cornwell, but he's worth a read too.

DANCE OF THIEVES!!
it’s such a good book with everyone’s favorite love trope, enemies to lovers. it’s set in a fantasy world with our main characters kazi and jase. kazi is a guard for the queen while jase is the king of a kingdom. kazi is sent to murder him and let’s say that plan gets a little derailed ;)

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas
Crescent City by Sarah J Maas
(If you can't tell, I love this author. I recommend reading these series in this order because they build on each other in lore and crossovers.)

any books by sharon m. draper, or kimberly brubaker bradley. the land of stories is a good fantasy series, and the inheritance games is good as well.

Children of Blood and Bone
Children of Virtue and Vengeance
Children of Virtue and Vengeance
Both are by Tomi Adeyemi, they are fantasy with West African roots and I cannot do justice to how great of a job she did.

Aiden Thomas! He wrote the books Cemetery Boys, Lost In The Never Woods, and The Sunbearer Trials. All of them are amazing!

Little House on the Prairie, the whole series. It's a good series for families to read or listen to together. Easy enough to read depending on age or grade. 😁

im going to take it back with some older books.
To Kill a Mockingbird. I know a lot of kids read it at school and it might have put them of it, but believe me its one of the most emotional, truthful and gripping books i have ever read.
P.G Wodehouse books, especially Jeeves and Wooster. wodehouse was a British comic author who wrote nearly 100 books, they are really funny and relaxing. if you struggle with anxious thoughts, these books can really calm you down.
less calming reads are 1984, by george orwell. Its really food for thought, and the protagonists are not perfect. It is a little old fashioned, but still hits home to this day. IS NOT RECCOMENDED FOR YOUNGER READERS! it gets very violent!
btw all of the books and series mentioned have tv/film versions, so you might want to watch them before reading the books themselves.
Honorable mentions: Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, the canterbury tales
