Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
By J.K. RowlingHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K Rowling is an underrated masterpiece in my opinion. As for despite it being one of people’s least-liked books out of the series, I found it to be super entertaining. J.K Rowling’s use of mystery and suspense keeps readers interested and wanting to know more. That being said, I do think there were some unnecessary subjects covered throughout the book not worth mentioning.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
By J.K. RowlingBeing the first book in the Harry Potter Franchise, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is a fantastic start- giving readers a great understanding of the magical world before them. J.K Rowling’s introduction of characters and their personalities being fabulous all the more. I find this book very enjoyable to read as you learn so much about Harry and his friends throughout the book.

Red Queen
By Victoria AveyardThis is a great book for any fantasy lover. Victoria Aveyard has done a great job being descriptive and really painting a picture of this intricate fictional world. It's similar to The Hunger Games, therefore I highly recommend Hunger Games lovers to check this one out. It has a similar concept of districts, where there are different levels to status. The main character, Mare, is a low status resident who looks for a job.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
By J.K. RowlingI’ve got a secret: I’m a Harry Potter fan. I’m not a Potter-head, but I can easily pick up a Harry Potter book and immerse myself in the world of magic. Most readers know how fun JK Rowling’s world is, but some new readers might be a bit shy when it comes to picking up these books. To those who are hesitant to read these books, let me tell you: start reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone immediately.
