Good Omens is a good book. The writing style is 10/10. (I haven't watched the show lol
While I'm on the topic of Neil Gaiman, Coraline andThe Graveyard Book.
I'm currently reading Mostly Void Partially Stars and it's great. It's about a town where weird supernatural things happen so often that everyone has accepted it.
And if you're interested in comics, Here There Be Gerblins is an amusing fantasy comic. It's sequel, Murder on the Rockport Limited, is coming out soon.
It's also never (very rarely) a bad time to reread Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I would recommend Beren and Luthien, but I haven't read it myself lol.

I read Good Omens years ago (reread it recently after the show came out) and I absolutely adored it. The writing is twisted and humorous and the story is so much fun. Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett (RIP) are such a dream team and their writing puts a smile on my face without fail :D

Any of the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child are usually good.

Adventurers Wanted by M. L. Forman

The sign is small, tucked into the corner of Mr. Clutter s bookshop window: Adventurers Wanted. Apply Within. No one but fifteen-year-old Alex Taylor even seems to notice it is there. And for Alex, who has wished for a change in his life, it is an irresistible invitation. Upon entering Mr. Clutter s shop, Alex is swept away to a faraway land filled with heroic warriors, mysterious elves, and hard-working dwarves.


It's five books

The Dungeoneers. It's definitely a kids' book, but it's pretty fun. The main characters are a bunch of kids who are training to be an adventuring party in a typical medieval fantasy world. They include a would-be barbarian who faints at the sight of her own blood, a mage who can only cast one spell (random blasts of fire in all directions), a druid who's terrified of large predatory animals, and a rogue who is probably the most normal (and competent) member of the party.

Please help me raise my Dragon Cave hatchlings and hatch my eggs by viewing and clicking on them. :D (A big thank you to everyone who has already helped!)
My absolute favourite book of all time is We Are The Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson

It's a YA Sci-Fi about a teenage boy who gets regularly abducted by aliens and is then told that the world is going to end. The aliens offer a button to him that will (somehow) save the world from this doom, and give him the choice of pressing it or not.

He doesn't know if he wants to.

If you do decide to read this one, I'd highly recommend searching for a trigger warning list as it does cover a wide variety of triggering situations.

The Warriors series (aka warrior cats) is an easy read and has a lot of books in the series to keep you entertained. In short, it's about feral cats living in the woods in organized clans and organized religion. A lot of crazy stuff happens, and the main character is a cat who was raised by humans that escapes into the wild to join one of these clans.

I'm only recently getting back into reading books so this thread is helping me find stuff too :^)
