I've reread Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (it's even better than the movie) so many times. It's a real comfort book :D

I'm currently powering my way through the Cycle of Galand. On book six, if you count the Cycle of Arawn (which you really need to read first).

My favorite book series is the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. Action, adventure, fantasy, comedy, and wonderful character development are just a few things I can say about the series.

Right now I'm reading a bunch of web comics. I have put books on hold due to so much reading for school, but I'm hoping to start up here soon. I'm currently on the last book in the codex alera series.

I love that book, and many other books by the same author (Diana Wynne Jones). The ones I re-read most often are Homeward Bounders and Hexwood (two of her science fiction books - science fiction is my favorite), but Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite of her fantasy novels. But so many of them are great - Enchanted Glass, and Charmed Life, and Deep Secret are all really amazing too.

A new author who writes books that kind of remind me of hers is Frances Hardinge. I've read four books of hers: most recently, just before I started reading PopCo, I read Gullstruck Island. The first book I read by Hardinge was A Face Like Glass which is set in an underground city where most people need to learn each facial expression they can use from special instructors.

Mostly I don't find books written for children to be the main thing I like to read, but those two authors are definitely exceptions for me. Maybe I'm too old to care what's sufficiently grown up though :D

Before I read Gullstruck Island, I read The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. It wasn't considered for kids, but perhaps it was different only in being told from an older viewpoint. Both books were about really similar things - islands that had been divided by colonialism and culture clashes, mind-affecting magic that had been lost or destroyed, seeking to kill something powerful because it stood in the way, conspiracies to manipulate groups of people to attack someone they feared. The one for kids had a more conventional plot -- but not by a huge margin :) Both books stayed with the main pair of characters for the most part but occasionally had a chapter thrown in from a side character's point-of-view.

It's interesting how often I randomly happen to read a book that has a lot in common with whatever I read before it, even though I had no idea it would when I started it, but in fact chose it because I thought it would be rather different. I make an effort not to read similar books twice in a row, in fact...

I reread a lot of fanfiction to be honest, but I also reread His Dark Materials, Speak, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, and the New Mutants comic books.

I am looking into reading Mortal Engines after the movie is in the planning and seeing the trailer, the story certainly seems interesting.

Hah yes :D I'm working on getting through the rest of her books. I really liked Charmed Life, and Castle in the Sky. The Dalemark Quartet was interesting too, a bit different from her usual but still good.

I haven't heard of those other authors, but I might have to check them out. Mostly I enjoy books that give me good relatable people, and if they make me laugh it's an automatic win. So I enjoy things like the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett too :D

I'm reading the Witcher series now which has been pretty cool. Hopefully I can finish the last book up by new years so I can pick a new series to start of 2018 with!

(If anyone has suggestions for good reads, I'd love to hear them!)

This is embarrassing, but the only books that stick out for me are fantasy/historical fiction novels (mostly the former) with a lot of world-building elements. I still remember loving Keeper of the Lost Cities despite only having read the first book.

Sad and no longer functioning.

Every year I re-read The Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy during Christmas break. Then I re-read All of Sherlock Holmes and read any new mysteries that I've accumulated over the year. (I'm a very fast reader.)

I don't think I've ever had a series that I adore as much as I adore Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Though as much as I love the series it got completely ruined by the movie, I'm kinda glad I didn't go see it since I heard enough about it from friends. The books on their own are so good though, I read the first book way back when the series was still incredibly obscure and still I love it years later.

The Mistborn series is also really good though, both the main series and the steampunk side story/continuation I guess? I'm a sucker for books that have different timelines or side stories going on but still manage to sneak in details to earlier in the story. I'd love to be a total nerd over those details but I'd rather not spoil either series for anyone ;v;.
