    I'm a burnt out gifted kid who finally started reading again (thank you, Kindle). I've mostly just been reading romance/smut since it made it easier to keep my attention (very ADHD) but I want to branch away from that now and read things that are a bit more thought provoking.

    Please give me all your favorite fiction books! I'd prefer more light hearted but with substance! I love mystery, fantasy (not romantasy pls), and coming of age type stories! Please help me branch out, TIA!
