I read Artemis Fowl, The Alchemist series by Michael Scott, and The Last Apprentice. I read a few other books too like Moby Dick. I was so young I forget pretty much the entire plotline of any book or series I read when I was younger though, then I stopped reading until just recently.

hey, loved those vladimir tod books when i was younger. i never read the fifth book though. i've been thinking about reading the series again but i'm worried that they wouldn't hold up since i'm older now

i loved harry potter as well (like most people). i liked some of the artemis fowl i read (the author wrote another book called airman, i think, that i really enjoyed), goosebumps, narnia, spiderman comics, and plenty of other things i can't remember

This was the first time I got majorly spoiled by looking something up online, so I read each next book under the shadow of Ares' death. I really loved it though.

Also, this was early proof that Collins can't write a decent ending to save her life.

I read this one book about a killer who uses social media to tell when he's gonna kill next. It was pretty okay as far as the story went, but the main highlight was the german waifu exchange student who in one specific scene rested the MCs head on her thighs when he had passed out so he woke up to her face.
