Series Recommendations and Free Reading Websites

Hi guys,
     I'm Pretty Horse, and I'm a bookworm. Obviously I like reading, so I thought that I'd help my fellow book junkies with a few free online reading websites.
     I'm also including a list of some of my favorite books and series down below.
     WARNING: Most of the romance options in the free websites include mature themes so please ignore all the romance sections unless you know the book to be age-appropriate.

Free Reading Websites:

Recommended Books/Series: (Don't worry; all of the series are fairly appropriate. Also, only including series that aren't as well-known. You know, no Harry Potter or Percy Jackson... Sadly, most of these series are not found online. And yes, I love science fiction and am a romantic.)
Note: Some selections will be repeated because many books have multiple genres.

Science Fiction:
  • The Missing series by Margaret Peterson (sci-fi about time travel, a little historical fiction included)
  • Ender's Game quartet by Orson Scott Card (sci-fi including space travel and alien species)
  • Pathfinder Series by Orson Scott Card (sci-fi/historical fiction)
  • Legend trilogy by Marie Lu (realistic sci-fi and very romantic)
  • Gone series by Michael Grant (sci-fi where all people over 15 years vanish and some people have powers)
  • Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer (sci-fi/fantasy about fairies and a teenage criminal mastermind stealing and later saving the world)
  • The Mysterious Benedict Society trilogy by Trenton Lee Stewart (realistic sci-fi, classic good vs. evil. Spoiler alert: evil long-lost twins too)
  • Darkness Rising trilogy by Kelly Armstrong (fantasy/sci-fi)
Fantasy/Mythology/Paranormal
  • The Kane Chronicles trilogy by Rick Riordan (fantasy w/ Egyptian mythology)
  • The Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix (fantasy, about another hidden world, not w/ the usual vampires and stuff though)
  • Medusa Girls trilogy by Tera Lynn Childs (fantasy w/ Greek mythology, particularly based on Medusa)
  • Darkness Rising trilogy by Kelly Armstrong (fantasy/sci-fi)
  • House of Night series by P. C. Cast (note: a few SEX scenes. Not that detailed, but if you can't stand that stuff, don't read it. BTW, paranormal series about vampires co-exiting w/ humans)
  • The Land of Stories series by Chris Colfer (fantasy that takes place in the world of fairy-tales)
  • Waterfire Saga by Jennifer Donnelly (fantasy that takes place in the world of mermaids)
  • Hush, Hush quartet by Becca Fitzpatrick (fantasy romance about saving the world and falling in love with something otherworldly)
  • Hex Hall trilogy by Rachel Hawkins (paranormal romance and having to save the world cliché)
  • The Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo (fantasy w/ powers; good vs. evil)
  • Paranormalcy trilogy by Kiersten White (paranormal romance and having to save the world cliché)
I will probably continue adding to this list, but maybe not for a while. Also, will you readers please comment on what you think of my blog so far? I welcome any feedback, especially criticism. I just want to improve my writing skills.
More later...
