My wife bought me an E-Reader for Christmas and I’d love to start reading some new books! I love stuff like game of thrones, dungeons and dragons, Star Wars, etc. I used to read a ton as a kid but it’s been a while so something easier to start would be ideal

The premise sounds absurd, but Dungeon Crawler Carl is a trip!
Free sci-fi & fantasy to tease their authors

* cracks knuckles*
Dungeon Crawler Carl – readers generally love the humor and the action
Red Rising – first three books are more YA. Slightly reminiscent of Hunger Games in Space. Second half of the series is more like Game of Thrones in space except you know the author will actually finish the story.
Children of Time – incredibly interesting concept. Not as heavily character driven, but fascinating all the same.
Ender’s Game – a bit of controversy about the author. I still recommend it because I think it’s kinda canon in the Sci-Fi world at this point. It’s allegedly for children but I am still captivated by the story as an adult.

Brandon Sanderson
