Default Can anyone recommend me some good books?
I've got into reading last year and i've started with Harry Potter but i will need to read some more once I've finished all 8 books(well I have 5 left)

Horror/Thriller/fantasy/adventure are my interests with it being long

Well obviously A Song of Ice and Fire series is great but you're watching the show right now so i don't know how you would feel about reading them too

good point, it's one of the reasons why i didn't read harry potter because of the spoilers. I didn't know the deaths and I was shocked when watching it.

Don't bother. If the first one is anything to go by, they're dreadfully written.

I already suggested this for you but The Magicians. Harry Potter meets Narnia with a more adult tone.

IA with The Shining, I love it and the book is better than the film.

I prefer De Palma's original Carrie to the book though, idk if that's an unpopular opinion.
