    The harry Potter series
    The Bartmaeus trilogy
    The divide
    The Artemis fowl books
    The maze runner series
    The pendragon series( my favorite one was the 7th)
    These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. All are amazing books and I highly recommend you read everyone you will not regret them.

    Got a lot in mind. But seeing as the majority of the books listed out are fantasy/mystery types of books, i'll try to give some books from other genres as well and those that hasn't been mentioned yet.
    1. The Edge Chronicles (The first series i've ever read, simply amazing with the illustrations and creativity)
    2. The Chronicles of Narnia
    3. The Graveyard Book (Or any other Neil Gaiman books)
    4. The Five People You Meet in Heaven (again, or other Mitch Albom books)
    5. Endgame Series [Currently an ongoing series]
    6. Skulduggery Pleasant series (One I DEFINITELY recommend you to read)
    7. Inheritance Cycle
    8. The Dark is Rising Sequence (quite an old series, published in the 70s, amazing storyline)
    9. Lorien Legacies (Fun to read)
    10. The Wardstone Chronicles (Again, fun to read)
    11. The Cousins' War (Very different to the ones I recommended. It's based off of actual history, only in a woman's perspective. Amazing story to tell. There's also a TV show based of the books, currently ongoing.)

    Sorry if I rambled a lot there, but it's hard just giving a suggestion without my take on the books. I tried to list out books of other genres, but seeing as my main interest is within fantasy, it's quite hard to think of other books. Plus, it's hard not to list out some amazing books/series i've read.

    OK I haven't read the whole series, but Ender's Game is really good and there is a series out there....(the book is much better than the movie, in case you saw that).

    Oh! Also The Giver! SO good. And it is a quartet (4 books).
