The Rick Riordan series is probably my favourite series of all time, but Harry Potter is arguably tied in position
Some honourable mentions that I really enjoyed throughout middle school include “Milkweed”, “The Book Thief”, “Bleakboy and Hunter Stand out in the Rain”, “The Sky so Heavy” and “The House of the Scorpion”
A really interesting, funny and cool “scientific” book that I loved is “What if?” by Randall Munroe. He explains his theories on the most bizarre questions asked by using his mathematic and science skills
Other series that have made me wonder and has affected me as a person include the “Arc of a Scythe” trilogy (haven’t read the 3rd book yet, coming out on 3rd of September) and “The Blackthorn Key” series
“Hunger Games” and “Maze Runners” had similar dystopian features, I enjoy a lot of adventure fantasy and fiction novels but I haven’t finished these series so I didn’t put them up
“Big Nate” probably the comic series that has made me laugh most (I couldn’t find a good picture of it online). I have collected most of the books and read all, it has affected the way I think (like TAWOG) and changed my sense of humour
The “empty” part of the bookshelf seen in the linked screenshot is what I hope to fill up during high school. I still want to read a lot even though my workload will increase compared to my middle school years
