Hidden Gems
Not many of these books will be on most lists. If you told a friend that you read any of these, there’s a good chance that they never even heard of these books. That is what makes these books special as they are hidden gems few people have discovered.
My favorite on the list is The Bone Witch trilogy by Rin Chupeco. It is a young adult fantasy novel that will make you a fan. The novel is filled with brilliant writing and a fresh new world that borrows from past classics.
A few names that are familiar on the list include Madeleine L’Engle and Douglas Adams. They are known for other more popular books and that overshadow their other lesser-known works. But thre other works are also worth checking out and a great way to come across amazing books that most people haven’t even heard of!
