Any good book recommendations?
School has started up again, and I need something to read so I don't die of boredom. Any suggestions? I loved the Hunger Games, and Maze Runner series. Also I like the classics as well, such as 1984.

Some of my favourite books you might like:
The Scorpio Races - Maggie Stiefvater
Wither - Lauren DeStefano
Half Bad - Sally Green
Unwind - Neal Shusterman
I Hunt Killers - Barry Lyga
1Q84 - Haruki Murakami (the title is played off of 1984 and the feel of the book is a lot like 1984)
Anything by Fitzgerald is great if you like The Great Gatsby! Hemingway, the Brontes, Leo Tolstoy, the list is endless. A lot of classics are absolutely phenomenal - that's why they're classics!
Anna
House of the Scorpion - dystopian future, focuses on the life of a clone
Bartimaeus sequence - alternate-England, main characters are a commoner, magician, and sarcastic djinn
