I don’t know what I’m looking for

(Done on mobile so I apologize for bad formatting beforehand.)

So, I'll preface this by saying I have no clue what I'm looking for. I'm 19 and honestly looking to broaden my scope maybe? Or just try something new? Idk.

I'll delve into my preferred series' and books/genres in hopes that it may help you make your recommendations, might be a bit lengthy so bare with me, please 😀.

I love to read fantasy, primarily epics. I love long series' and books. My favorite fantasy series' are The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss, and everything fantasy by Brandon Sanderson. I love YA fantasy as well, but I find most YA books kinda like empty calories nowadays~ they're decent but it doesn't really make me feel engrossed in the world or make me feel anything.

I also love historical fiction, my favorites being The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, Shogun by James Clavell, and the Empire of the Moghul series by Alex Rutherford.

I also love mythology, spurred on by reading the Percy Jackson series when I was younger, and I've made decent progress of Greek, Roman, Norse, and Persian mythology/history/fairytales/folktales.

As I said earlier, I'm kinda looking to broaden my scope a bit more, try new styles of writing.

My more notable attempts of doing so this year were
i) An anthology of works by Edgar Allan Poe (was an interesting read but don't believe I'll be rereading anytime soon)

ii) The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (Book had me engrossed, was v fascinated by it and will be reading it again bc it really hit a vein).

iii)The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (honestly, wasn't a fan and didn't see any purpose to the story)

and my most recent, and admittedly failed attempt~

iv) War and Peace by Tolstoy (Got through a little under halfway through before deciding to call it wraps. Loved the writing style and my first thoughts on it were 'Oh wow, this is really well written!' like no shit Sherlock, it's dubbed a classic for a reason (in my defence, the classics I'd been made to read in school were all really dry and uninspiring) but I honestly just couldn't keep up w the story and decided to call it).

So, yeah, that seems like a decent overview of my reading scope. My absolute favorite books are 'The Book Thief' by Zusak, Shogun by Clavell, and the first Mistborn book by Sanderson.

That being said, I have absolutely no clue what I want to try next. I quite liked Tolstoy's writing though at this moment in time, 'War and Peace' was just a bit beyond me. I have Anna Karenina and some of Dostoevsky's works on my list because I'd like to give Russian literature a better try, but honestly, I'd be down to read anything.

TLDR: I'll try anything as long as it's not Science Fiction or smut (nothing wrong with either, but I've given both what I would consider a fair try and found them to be unappealing to me personally).

So yeah, if you've made it this far, I commend you and if you leave any recommendations I will very much appreciate it.

(PS: If you have any questions or would like to know anything about the books/series I've listed above, feel free to ask questions, I'd love to be able to help someone who may be curious about any of them as they're all some of my absolute favorites)
