What books should I read next?

I'm looking for some new books to read, as I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. I'm open to any and all genres. The only genre I'm extremely picky about is teen fiction.



Some of my favorite books are:

To Kill a Mockingbird

The Pillars of the Earth

Girl with a Pearl Earring

The Gemma Doyle Trilogy

Harry Potter

Wuthering Heights



PLEASE DO NOT RECOMMEND TWILIGHT...IF YOU DO I WILL THUMB YOU DOWN LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW.What books should I read next?
Middlemarch, George Eliot



One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd, Jim Fergus

The Red Tent, Anita Diamant

The Eight, Katherine Neville

Love in the Present Tense, Catherine Ryan Hyde

Water for Elephants, Sara Gruen

The Art of Racing in the Rain, Garth Stein

Moloka'i by Alan Brennert

Cleopatra's Daughter, Michelle Moran

Rainwater, by Sandra Brown

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

The Blood of Flowers, Anita Amirrezvani

Sleep Toward Heaven, Amanda Eyre Ward

The Help, Kathryn Stockett

Thread of Grace, Mary Doria Russell



Outlander Series, by Diana Gabaldon

Time of My Life, by Allison Winn Scotch
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. It's fiction and I thought it was amazing. This girl gets murdered and then watches her family and friends as they try to figure out what happened and try to move on with their lives.



The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary Pearson, it's categorized as young adult but anyone could like it, it is about a 17-year old who wakes up from a coma, and she can't remember anything about her family or herself. Because of that, it's hard for her to feel love for her parents because she doesn't remember them, and her grandmother seems to hate her and she doesn't know why. She starts to remember things that her family thought she never would, and she tries to piece her life back together. It takes place a little in the future, so there's that twist to it but it's not fully sci-fi. Really good :)



You could try The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series, everyone who has read it thinks it is amazing. Someone said the first couple chapters start sow, then the rest and the next 2 books are hard to put down. Takes place in Sweden I believe.



I really liked Cannery Row by John Steinbeck.



Also, try Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.What books should I read next?
My Favorite books:
The mortal instruments- Casandra Clare. Book one:City of bones. Book 2: City of ashes. Book 3: City of Glass.
The infernal devices- also Cassandra Clare. Book one: The clockwork angel.
The compound.
Gone series.
Marked series (Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, Untamed, Tempted, Hunted, Burned.) Those are vampire books. DON'T WORRY, they don't sparkle. Also, that's a 14+ book series. Kinda inappropriate sometimes.
I'll post more if read them/ think of them!

Edit: Oops...Didn't see that thing about teen fiction... Those are good books though. Sorry.
The Looking Glass Wars series by Frank Beddor.

Hatter M series by Frank Beddor.

The Hush Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll).

Through the Looking Glass (And What She Found There) by Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll).What books should I read next?
1. Redeeming Love - Francine Rivers

3. The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon

5. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society – Mary Ann Shaffer

6. A Certain Slant of Light - Laura Whitcomb

8. A Reliable Wife : a novel - Robert Goolrick

9. How to Be Good - Nick Hornby
John Green is so wonderful!!

His books include Paper towns, An Abundance of Katherines, Looking for Alaska.

He is such a great writer.

Then there is Sarah Dessen: This Lullaby, The Truth About Forever, How to Deal, Keeping the Moon.

She is a very gifted writer. So full of meaning and so relatable.

Also, there is Jodi Picoult: The Tenth Circle, Mercy, My Sister's Keeper, Nineteen Minutes.

She is also ways good for a mystery sort novel. She's got such complex characters and plot lines, I love them so much.

Hope I helped. :)
The Luxe series or The Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare (but if you read the former you may also want to read The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare).
Gone by Michael Grant

Expiration Date by Eric Wilson
