List of books I have read myself


​Below, I made a list of the books that I have read during the previous years. I first discovered the Fantasy genre when I started reading Harry Potter when I was about 15 years old. After that, I mostly read books in this genre, because other genres like romance or science fiction fail to grab my attention. I think this list is not complete, but most of the books I read are in it.
-
The Harry Potter Series – J. K. Rowling
-
The Twilight Series – Stephanie Meyer
-
The Immortals (series) – Alyson Noel
-
Game of Thrones (series) – George R. R. Martin
-
Inheritance Cycle (series) – Christopher Paolini (Unfinished)
-
Throne of Glass (series) – Sarah J. Maas
-
The Caster Chronicles (series) – Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl (Unfinished)
-
The Vampire Diaries (series) – L. J. Smith
-

​
NB: I read most of these book in my native language, Dutch. But a few of them, mostly the ones I read when I became older, were read in both English and Dutch or even only in English. This means I read some of these books more then once.
​
NB2: the older I get, the more I read in English. I enjoy reading in English, but my favourite language will always be my native language.
