My little cousin keeps trying to get book recommendations from me. I gave him a list of books I think are good and appropriate, but I’m pretty sure he would find them all kinda boring. The main thing is that his mom won’t allow him to read anything with a lot of sexual content so keep that in mind. The biggest lead I have is that he loved The Great Gatsby. I’m pretty sure he would like some fantasy or science fiction, but I don’t know anything about genre fiction. I just don’t want him to get stuck reading trash YA books for ever, and I think he also wants to grow past them. What do you think?
