Yo since this whole lockdown thing is happening around the world I would love to get some ideas to view what to read! Any books are welcome here! Just wanna have a couple to read later on!
I've been reading a lot of historical fiction lately.
But last 2 books I read were uh,
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn. Basically, a young woman in 1947 while trying to find her cousin who disappeared during WWII comes across a woman by the name of Eve who used to spy for the Alice Network during WWI, and the story is them pairing up and trying to find out what happened to her cousin. But the stuff about the actual Alice Network( headed by Louise de Bettignie, alias Alice Dubois) which was a real spy network that operated during WWI-WWII was pretty fascinating. I was kind of mixed on the second character , just in the sense that I wasn't that fond of her as a character, but the historical element is pretty cool. The character of Eve was awesome though.
The Alice Network
and
Amos Towles-A Gentleman in Moscow which is a chronicle of Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov's life for 30 years from when he is put under house arrest to the Metropol Hotel by the Bolsheviks in 1922 to when he finally escapes when he's in his 60s. But the plot of the book is basically his life, how he copes and how he lives while under house arrest against the backdrop of the Bolshevik's rise to power and stuff going on in Russian history during the time. Pretty fitting considering what's happening in the world right now though he was a political prisoner not quarantined in due to a massive virus outbreak.
and what I'm currently reading, Carlos Ruiz Zafon's Labyrinth of Spirits which isn't historical fiction, more thriller, gothic maybe?
Adding on additional fantasy series because I usually read fantasy most of the time, mostly of the epic variety.
So naming off various series.
Brian McClellan’s Gods of Blood and Powder Trilogy.
3 books:
Sins of Empire (2017)
Wrath of Empire (May 17, 2018)
Blood of Empire (Dec 3, 2019)- haven’t read the third yet since it’s so new.
Robin Hobb’s Assassin and Tawny man trilogies series.
There’s several books in the series but
Assassin’s Apprentice
Royal Assassin
Assassin’s Quest
Plus
Fool’s Errand
The Golden Fool
Fool’s Fate
And Patrick Rothfuss’s Name of the Wind books
The Name of the Wind
The Wise Man’s Fear
I’d also recommend the Wheel of Time series, kind of easy to guess based on my username and The Song of Ice and Fire though forewarning Martin books tend to be pretty violent and graphic so if you aren’t ok with that sort of stuff, I’d say stay away from his books.
Horror-wise...honestly almost anything by Stephen King.

Fantasy:
American Gods by Neil Gaiman is probably one of the best urban-fantasy books available - it's around 800 pages, though. Summary: A man named Shadow Moon is released from prison early after his wife, Laura, is killed in a car accident. On the plane home he meets a man named Mr. Wednesday - a mysterious benefactor who offers Shadow a job if he travels across America with him. Unbeknownst to Shadow, this job includes negotiating with the gods and myths that have integrated themselves into American culture. The comic series is a pretty solid adaptation.
Horror:
House Of Leaves. Meta-story, around 1000+ pages. Summary: Unreliable narrator Johnny Truant goes into a recently deceased man's apartment and finds an academic paper about a documentary made by a different man who moved his family into an infinte house. It gets weird. Sometimes there's braille.
Non-fiction: Just Kids by Patti Smith. Proto-punk singer Patti Smith's partial autobiography, partial poetry/prose book. Focuses on her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe, her photographer. Emotional.
Short Stories: Kafka's short stories - especially A Country Doctor and The Penal Colony are all strong absurdist horror stories. Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman is a pretty good anthology piece, part horror part urban fantasy.

I don't know what I'm doing with my FR life. Plz Halp
There's all the Clive Cussler books. He had several series with several protagonists. The only one I couldn't really get into was "The Numa Files" series. They're all action/adventure books, but have different themes.
If you like murder mysteries, there's no one that can beat Agatha Christie. My favorite is "And Then There Were None." It has a second title that you'd only find in older printings "Ten Little Indians." Plot - 10 people are alone on a little island with nothing on it but a hotel and they don't have a way off. One by one, people are being murdered but they can't figure out who is doing it.
For a younger age, there's always Rick Rioden and all of his fantasy novels. Trust me, the Percy Jackson books are a lot better than the movies. I would also recommend the Wizarding series by Diane Duane. The first one is called "So You Want to Be a Wizard."
If you like anime, several popular series are based on light novels. "No Game No Life" is pretty good. "Konosuba" is hilarious. And "Goblin Slayer" is a gripping dark fantasy. But that last one is only for ages 16+ as it's super violent and kinda explicit.

I've been re-reading some of my favourite series recently, so here are some books I love...
Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings books (epic fantasy with dragons and politics and stuff), especially the Liveship Traders trilogy (civil war!! spooky magic!!! PIRATES!!!)
The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik (historical fiction but with dragons! Set in the Napoleonic wars)
The Red Rising series by Pierce Brown (sci-fi/dystopia that's like ancient Rome but in space)
The White Tiger series by Kylie Chan (a bit like Percy Jackson for adults but with Chinese and Celtic myths instead of Greek and Roman ones?)
I have more in other genres... Probably...

I have to recommend the Animorphs. It’s a children’s book series, but the further the series progresses the heavier the themes and the going gets for the characters and as someone who started reading them roughly age 9 and is now something like 21, they have aged Far better than certain other books I consumed by the pound at that age.
It’s sci-fi, and the idea is that a bunch of kids are in the wrong place at the wrong time and get involved in a war between two alien species, one of which is trying to invade earth and the other is trying to stop them. They have to fight against the enemy with guerrilla tactics, all the while trying to keep up their schoolwork and family lives. Their only weapon is an ability given to them by a dying alien prince that lets them turn into any animal they touch.
There’s over 50 of them and some bonus books racking up a total of 64 I think? I can’t give any links now since I’m on mobile and have none of my bookmarks or stuff but they should all be online available for a free PDF download. They’re also short, like reading one book takes me less than 2 hours. Give or take. The book covers are also the best (or worst) that cgi could create at the turn of the millennium, and there’s a lot of memes about them.
(Also a fair warning to those interested: they occasionally do get uncomfortably descriptive with their violences.)

- Wolves of the Beyond series; fantasy wolf series which I read a long time ago and would highly recommend. 6 books in the series total, I think?
- Tailchaser's Song; another fantasy novel, this one about cats. A bit like Warriors but more mature (not sexual, just geared toward older readers) and definitely a lot different; also significantly darker (there's a lot of violence and some cannibalism).
and that's all I got. I used to be an avid reader but I just can't remember what I've read that is recommendable at this time.

It really depends on what you enjoy and what age group you prefer.
But... for me it's always a good time to recommend Brandon Sanderson books lol. I recommend all of them.
Since I don't know what age you like I'm not sure which books specifically to recommend but his The Rithmatist(fantasy), Steelheart(sci fi), and Skyward(sci fi) are considered YA (at least wikipedia considers them so) and most of his other books are considered adult. The most popular would be Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive(both fantasy) i think. A bunch of his books are connected and all take place in the same universe, called the Cosmere.
and his Alcatraz versus.. books are middle grade(i think?) but I haven't read them yet so I didn't want to put them in the main body. I've heard that they're good though
He also has more that I didn't mention because I've already written a ton...

The most popular would be Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive(both fantasy) i think. A bunch of his books are connected and all take place in the same universe, called the Cosmere.
and his Alcatraz versus.. books are middle grade(i think?) but I haven't read them yet so I didn't want to put them in the main body. I've heard that they're good though
He also has more that I didn't mention because I've already written a ton...
