Congrats and thank you for completing this quiz! Before you take a look at the results, I want to remind you that all of these books are a part of the Ibrahim Bodur Library's collection, so you can check them out anytime you want! Now it's time to reveal your answers:

If you chose mostly A's

You should read the Robert Langdon series by Dan Brown! Each book in this thrilling 6-book mystery series gets more and more interesting with every page, and you don't even have to read them in order or read all of them, as the books aren't connected to each other. If you're interested in deciphering codes, art history, symbology, traveling, and solving a mystery before it's too late, then these books are for you.

If you chose mostly B's

You should read the Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith! This is one of my favorite murder mystery series because it's full of suspense, detective work, and plot twists that you'll never see coming. You can try to find the murderer before you finish these books, my friends, but there's no guarantee that you will be able to.

If you chose mostly C's

You should read The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness! Set in a dark dystopian world, this book has such a unique and thrilling story that you won't be able to stop reading. If you love dystopian literature and are in the mood for something different, then I definitely recommend this amazing book to you.

If you chose mostly D's

You should read Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross! Amongst the mystical war of the gods and in a room full of magical typewriters, thanks to this book, you will be reminded that even simple ink on paper can change your life drastically. If you like being devastatingly heartbroken while reading, then this is the book for you.

If you chose mostly E's

You should read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir! Full of sarcasm and witty science, this book will both make you laugh and leave you absolutely shocked. Real scientists have proved that the science in this book is 100% correct, which is stunning for such an unimaginable story that seems so far off in the future. As this is the book that got me into reading science fiction, I confirm that it doesn't matter if you like science or space, this book will leave you stunned and wanting more.
