Any recommendations on books? Back then I thought the Harry Potter books (well, the 3 that I’ve read) where neat and I’d like to read something similar again :D
(TYSM for the recommendations! Sorry I didn’t reply to anyone)
More of an off the beaten path recommendation, but The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy was a really fun YA fantasy novel about a trans girl who joins a coven of witches.
I’ve had Ursula Le Guin’s books on my list for a while now, personally. Although the impression that I get is that Le Guin is in her own tier that others should be compared to, up there with Tolkien with Anne Rice.
Haven’t read any of the books in that screenshot myself but I was assuming they’re all that Potter / Narnia / Alice kind of idea of a chosen one in a magical land, mostly for kids and young adults.

If the “wizards and aspects of fantasy in a modern world” schtick is what you found appealing, maybe Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files novels?
Ah… didn’t realize a new book had come out, nice.

Adrian Mole Diaries by Sue Townsend
Not at all similar but read them anyway if you haven’t.
Came across this yesterday. Haven’t read any of these but here’s a small list for both kids and adults, courtesy of sophiebeerdraws.
Not having Ursula Le Guin while having BrandoSando on there is criminal. Go read the Earthsea books.

I know some people dislike the character, but man, Mistborn is so damn good
Definitely need to give some of these others a try
Alternatives should really be a standard for when shit goes down on any media.

Just look up US banned books for featuring LGBTQ and commie themes!
Besides all the good recommendations here already, I’d like to add the Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb
とんがり帽子のアトリエ
Currently reading “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by T. J. Klune and it might scratch a similar itch
I mean you Could also read the other books. Get them second Hand and you dont even have to support Rowling.
