I’d like to pick up with reading again, last time I properly read anything was during autumn. My own favorite books I can remember for now are: The Hobbit - There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien, Sinuhe Egyptian - Mika Waltari, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More - Roald Dahl and Harry Potter series. I know I should get on with reading ASOIAF but ughh I think I need the finnish translations :C I should also re-read the Astrid Lindgren books, I don’t remember about how the writing was, I just remember the stories but not details.

If you’re interested check out Patricia A. McKillip’s books, especially The Forgotten Beasts of Eld and Od Magic.

If you’re willing to read books “for kids”, i.e. 12-year-olds, that’re still smart/well-written, try Gail Carson Levine, esp. Ella Enchanted.
