book recommendations

hello! I’ve been in a bit of a reading burnout recently. I’m not a huge fan of romance books, i can’t wven stand to read about kissing, which makes it harder for me to find books. My favorite books are the ones that are a bit older, Crime and Punishment is my favorite and i like other works by the author (Fyodor Dostoevsky). I have also attempted to read Moby Dick and may pick it back up. If you have any suggestions for books like those please let me know

Pretty little liars is good, but plot wise, they kinda drag it out for like 16 books. Its rlly long.

If you are ever interested in getting your heart and soul ripped out of you body because of a book then read A thousand boy kisses. Dont judge the title. The book is nothing like the title. I literally finished reading the book yesterday and i am not mentally stable. (Ive never rlly been, but) this book made me cry 4 or 5 times consistently.

Dear Wendy is a fun book about two aro-ace students becoming friends. It’s really good. Side characters have some romances going on but nothing in the main characters.

My favorites are The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, and City Spies.
