September 29: Ten Books To Read If You Like This Super Popular Book/Author.

Let’s see, super popular book… Harry Potter!

1. American Gods; Neil Gaiman. Admire the magical system? The weird creatures? The lurking dangers? The mix of past and present? Then this book, where old clashes with new in a war of gods might work for you.

2. The Magicians; Lev Grossman. A little darker, with a much less likable main character, but amazing world building, and he redeems himself in the end.

3. A Madness of Angels; Kate Griffin. This hero lives, too–well, comes back from the dead–and brings down plenty of bad guys.

4. The Paper Magician; Charlie M. Holmberg. A complicated magic system, plenty of training, and nifty spells.

5. A Wrinkle in Time; Madeline L’Engle. Children in danger. Questionable but exciting guardians!

6. Rosemary and Rue; Seanan McGuire. A grown-up fairyland, with a bit more damage to the misfit crew, but the same bright sense of hope anyway.

7. Sabriel; Garth Nix. Magic and music, and plenty of magical critters.

8. Wee Free Men; Terry Pratchett. Plenty of humor, fighting, and some less than nice fairies.

9. Fangirl; Rainbow Rowell. The fanfiction in this book is very HP, and the characters are very like a HP fan.

10. Howl’s Moving Castle; Diana Wynne Jones. This book has a castle of magic proportions, plenty of curses, and weird transformations.
