It would definitely be a crime if I didn’t include this in my list. This is my favorite series and would absolutely become yours if it already isn’t. I don’t think I even need to include the plot of the book.
This is one of those books that can be read over and over again and it still wouldn’t be enough. A story that can be enjoyed by everyone; from a 10-year old child to a 70- year old grandpa.
You will get a feeling of euphoria by getting lost in the magical and mesmerizing world of Harry potter. The only thought that would be in your mind after reading it is why didn’t I read it earlier?
