(*Putting my glasses on to write this.* It's serious now)

Guys I NEED a good book recommendation I've been starved for too long! Every book I read now seems mediocre, predictable, and doesn't elicit any feeling from me. I read a lot of popular fiction, but I've gotten so tired of fantasy and murder mystery because it's just the same plot but in a slightly different way. Anyone have a request that has a really unique perspective on any aspect of life?

I also have the qualm of always picking up a book that someone recommended or is ridiculously popular and seeing a white female author. Nothing against white females in any way, I just want a change in perspective.

Books I actually enjoyed include the Westing Game, And Then There Were None, Six of Crows, Fangirl, and These Violent Delights.

Book that I didn't enjoy (unpopular opinions) were Caravel, Once Upon a Broken Heart, the Folk of the Air (sorry), Shadow and Bone, and agggtm (don't murder me please).

Any suggestions? Thanks for taking the time to read this rant :))))))

My friend is turning 16 and she's having her party next week. I've known her for like 4 years and we're pretty close friends. She really likes Spiderman, and she plays tennis and does hurdles for track. She's pretty smart and taking a lot of APs, and I think she's pretty into fashion. I don't think she has any hobbies besides that, but I'm super stressed because I really suck at gift giving even though I've known her for so long.

Last year I gave her a book and she hasn't read it...

Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to be lame and just give her a gift card or something, I want something meaningful.
