Book Recommmendations from Seki
As an author, it's quite a given that I'm an avid reader of books.
Although my busy schedule has all but killed that literary hobby of mine, yet there are still some good books whose stories I happen to revisit once in a while.
It's quite a lovely feeling when one is reading a book, trapped in your own little world created by the writers words and your working imagination.
It's like a play which you get to experience, not just watch.
Everybody has the books which works for them. Some are simply in love with romance, other's are quite levelheaded and wants some business books, while there are some with a few screws loose who would opt for horror.😂
I am but a simple regular 19 year old lad who sometimes need an escape from the grinding real life of a teenager and needed something more filling, I needed that pump of adrenaline...
So naturally, I fell in love with adventure and fantasy.
What I love about those genres "Adventure & Fantasy" is the fact that they are flexible and at such can allow other seperate genres come in.
You can see a story that is ranked as adventurous horror fantasy like the legendary author Stephen King and his horror masterpiece The Shining.
Of course there's an adventurous romance fantasy one too. In mention From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrouth.
Although these aren't the books I'm here to recommend today.
My type of adventure are types that keep the mind rolling.
Fantasy adventure series filled with chracters and stories that have wit, humor and you don't need to read a bloody scene to get a fright or spicy scene of a kiss between lovers to get your kick of dopamine.
So here are 3 of my best fantasy Series
The Storm light Archives
I've reviewed this huge fantasy chronicles here before. This five thousands pages masterpiece is the work of Brandon Sanderson, and what a work it was.
This adventure fantasy world building story is set in a medieval time yet in a different planet.
A time filled with magic, knights and honor.
The world building here was horrendously fantastic, as it's a world in which the reader would be totally immersed with.

Artemis Fowl
There's so much genius a kid can be. Well that limit doesn't apply to the evil genius Artemis Fowl.
Forced to be the head of his father and the family's villainous company at a very young age. He works hard so his family name wouldn't be undermined.
Planning on his biggest act of villainy yet. The first step of that plan is capturing the rarest creature on earth: A fairy.
This legendary series was written by Eoin Colfer, a gifted Irish author. Now I know some might think that this is a book for children and kids, although one thing I've come to find out is that some stories are ageless. Meaning, anyone and everyone can enjoy them, especially a story such as this.
Read about Artemis and see how is well planned plan went by clicking the link.
The Kremlin Conspiracy
Now this is one book which isn't all fantasy but it is filled with adventure. It really didn't age well, as right now it could be accused to have been a premonition of the Israeli war. Some could call it prophetic even.
Regardless I didn't read this lovely thriller by Joel C Rosenberg for nothing.
This was a book which I read to help build my vocabulary, story telling, action and we'll even my religious faith in a sense 😂.
Markus Ryker is a soldier who was sent to Afghanistan to fight for his country.
After proving himself out there, he was brought in and taken as part of the United States Presidential convoy.
Now fate has come again, the president has been attacked, Marcus Ryker and the United States are now faced with a crisis that would require a lot of action, thoughts and prayers .
Interesting plot I'm sure, rest assured that this isn't a book for small kids, not because of violence or nudity, mostly because it's brings up themes that children won't be able to comprehend.
This is just the first of the Markus Ryker series though...
The plot thickens in the other books, but first, give this book a chance...
This was meant to be an entry into the (Leofinance February monthly prompt challenge](https://inleo.io/@leo.tasks/initiative-february-monthly-prompt) but because of some issues with me logging into my #inleo account, I have to post it from the peakd frontend.
Go give the challenge a look, there are tons of interesting prompts 😃

I'm sure you must have been confused while reading this as you voted.
So sorry, I posted it incomplete cause I saw I couldn't complete it before the 12:00am EST.
Trying to get the badge for posting everyday on February, so I did that as sort of a hack.
I've edited it and it's complete now😂😂
I wasn't confused...I saw that you were recommending a number of books from your own preference list and that was enough for me. I don't read fantasy books (sorry!) and so didn't think your recommendations would have relevance for me. I didn't even read the Tolkien books when they were the rage in the 60s. I love the fact that you are passionate about reading. I love the fact that reading inspires you. That's what the vote was for. Also, you express yourself, very very well. Now that I look again, the last book in your review does seem to be interesting, more aligned with my interests. I am a harsh critic when it comes to books. It is quite likely that I will pick up a book and after a page or two just leave it because it doesn't meet my expectations, which are quite high. I was schooled on the classics (years of reading and analyzing) so a book has to be quite good to hold me. These days, I"m more likely to read nonfiction (history mostly) than fiction. An extraordinarily well-written contemporary novel will pass the test. Most of the books written by Cotzee pass. Rushdie generally does not.
Keep reading. You are already so very smart. You will be running rings around the rest of us in years to come.
Well, I get why you wouldn't read fantasy 😂
Growing up with the classics must be tough.
The last book, The Kremlin Conspiracy, does seem like something that might suit your fancy.
Although it's not a classic, it does have this feel about it.
His world building is beautiful, and what he writes about is interesting enough.
I feel you should give it a try.
