27 Must-Read Books and Series | Indie Journey

It's my birthday! Well, yesterday was. Since I turned 27 I thought a fun way to celebrate would be to share a list of 27 books and series I've loved over the years. Titles are listed by genre, with an indication of whether they're in a series or standalone. If I haven't read the full series, I've only listed the titles read. Without further ado, here's the list:


YA Fantasy:

  1. Trickster's Choice duology by Tamora Pierce

  2. Wild Magic Quartet by Tamora Pierce

  3. Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo
