What are some good books to read?

Question

So now that I'm on winter break, I want to read some good books. I'm just finishing up The Time Keeper, and then I'm going to read The Hobbit and Looking For Alaska. I finish one book within a day or day and a half, no matter the length. So I want some more good choices for books to read. I like thrillers and mysteries. Mostly fiction books. I've read Harry Potter, Fifty Shades, Girl with the dragon tattoo, The Fault in our stars, etc. I'm not aware of any recent books that came out or most of the NY times best sellers of the past two months. But these books don't have to be NY Time best sellers. Thanks for all your recommendations!

If you like The Hobbit, you may like The Ice Princess by Theodore Svea. In the best selling book, a prince has his heart, memories, and crown stolen by a cold and cruel unattainable beauty. In the fantasy story The Ice Princess, there is an ogre, kings, queens, a unicorn, a dragon and a mysterious crystal skull.
