Hi everyone, I am having a hard time finding books to read that make me feel as enraptured as I used to when reading as a young tween/teen. As a 24 year old, I have picked up many books in the last few years but have a hard time finishing them, or finish them feeling like it was just an OK book. When I used to read young adult/tween fiction growing up, I couldn't put my book down- and I want to find a book like that again! For reference, some of my favorites were the Benedict Society series, The Name of this Book is Secret series, Gallagher Girls series, The Candy Shop War, and Percy Jackson. The majority of these books have magical realism elements, a group of people banding together to solve mysteries, a sense of adventure, and/or coming of age. I feel like this genre is hard to find in adult literature, as I am now older and want more advanced themes. Fantasy books may have some of these elements, but I have hard a time finding books in that genre that aren't full on magic/fairies and I am a little intimidated by that. The last adult book that I loved and felt similar to the books that I used to read was A River Endless by Rebecca Ross which I throughly enjoyed! Help me find more like this!
