A little context. I used to be an avid reader, more than I can express ever since I was 5 or 6. I remember that my golden days of reading were when in 8th grade I read the all Percy Jackson books more that five and all the other teenage fantasy classics as well. But ever since 2021, where I went through some changes in my personal life and several mental health issues, I stopped reading. This also includes my lack of focus due to the internet fatigue. Percy Jackson, the midnight library, Hunger Games, other Rick Riordan books, greek myths The Aurora rising series were some of the books I remember enjoying. Looking forward to your suggestions in both books and advice on my situation.

If you’re interested in Fantasy, you could give Brandon Sanderson’s ‘Mistborn’ series a try.
Here are books that I liked that you may enjoy:
* The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt: Western set during the California Gold Rush; Two brothers are hired to find and kill a gold prospector.
* The Peshawar Lancers by SM Stirling: Alternate history steampunk set in a 21st century where a soldier gets caught in a spy mission to save the British-Indian Empire.
* Bad Blood by John Carreyou: This book is about the rise and fall of Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes.
* Leviathan Wakes by James SA Corey: Epic Sci-Fi book
* The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero: Memoir about how the worst movie of all time was made. Absolutely hilarious, especially if you’re a fan of The Room.
* Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman: Neil Gaiman writes a collection of Norse Myths.
* Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra: Epic mystery novel set in present-day India.
* Red Card by Ken Bensinger: The story of the investigation into the FIFA corruption scandal.
* The Archer’s Tale by Bernard Cornwell: Historical fiction about an archer during the Hundred Years’ War hunting down the knight who destroyed his village.
When I’m in a reading rut, I always reread Harry Potter. It’s nostalgic and easy to read.
