I know I'm 8 hours late, but please attach the genre of your books.

The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking by Edward B. Burger and Michael Starbird - Psychology, Self-Help, Study-Help, Non-Fiction. Please, this one. It's short. Even if you aren't a college student anymore. Their other books are also good fun plus maths.

  • Spy the Lie - Psychology, Self-help, Non-Fiction

  • Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini - Psychology, Self-help, Non-Fiction

  • Thank You for Arguing by Jay Heinrichs - Non-Fiction, Rhetoric, Self-Help

Fun:

  • The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini - YA Fiction, High Fantasy.

  • The Guild Codex (Universe) by Annette Marie - Urban Fantasy, Magic, YA

  • Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews - Urban Fantasy, Magic, YA

  • Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs - Urban Fantasy, YA

  • Edited to include, almost anything by Tamora Pierce - Fantasy, Low-Magic

My mother would have said:

  • Little Women, Coming-of-Age and Semi-Autobiographical.

  • Cassandra Palmer - High-Fantasy, Fiction, Time-Travel, Magic

  • Twilight - Unhealthy-Female-Romance, Fiction, Fantasy,
