Books that I have enjoyed this past year have included:
Harry Potter series (read them for the 4th time) by J.K. Rowlings
The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan
The Red Pyramid (Kane Chronicles Book #1) by Rick Riordan
I recommend them to everyone. I am a fan of Egyptian history and culture, so Rick Riordan brings all of those things in a fresh perspective with a modern twist to them. Very enjoyable reading material
