Here are some of my favourite books/ Book series's
The Life Of Lottie Brooks series (five books in series currently.)

Some info: coming of age book, a hot French boy, poorly drawn hamsters, diary style book, British, gayness, possible gayness, friendship drama, realistic sibling relationships, I think my favourite book series.
Random Quote: if you are reading this, it is private property and I will GET YOU
How to Spell Catastrophe
POV: first person
Some info: talks about climate change and global warming, cool socks, talks about different catastrophes, friendship drama, no romance, might just be me but it's autism coded.
Random Quote: you have to shop around. For socks.
Michaela Mason series (Two books in series currently.)
POV: first person
Some info: both books quite short, lists (I like lists), educational about everything that could possibly harm you. friendship drama, single mum, cool girl with a violin, I just sneezed on my phone, Australian, that BITCH ANNABELLE-ROSE.
Random Quote: This is Dave.
The Land of Stories series (Six books in series, series is over.)
POV: third person
Some info: fairy tales, wars, magical moths from outer space, each book is around 400 pages, platonic love, romance is only subplots, cool old lady with a giant goose and a drinking problem, really pretty cover art, most of the first book was written by a child in hospital which is impressive as fuck.
Random Quote: I can't think of a better place to get married than on the ashes of your ex-girlfriend.
The Tale Of Magic series (Three books in series currently, no clue if it's over.)
POV: third person
Some info: magic, gayness, plot twists, dragons, death, cool old lady with a giant goose and a drinking problem as a child, bad parenting, the books are one big metaphor for prejudice against minorities, sassy bee lady
Random Quote: hatred is a choice, ignorance is a choice, violence is a choice, but someone's very existence is never a choice.
The Funny Kid series (eleven books in the series currently.)
POV: first person
Some info: Australian, ducks, no gayness so far but supports gayness, protagonist is an absolute dick and I adore him, sort of diary style, protagonist's rival is my favourite character, books are quite short as they're more made 'for kids'
Random quote: hey guys, I saved the pandas!
A Kind Of Spark
POV: first person
Some info: this book is what made me realize I might be autistic (I was), set in Scotland, makes me want a cool autistic older sister instead of two ADHD brothers who act like toddlers, talks about the witch trials, I lost my copy and I'm sad, themes of ableism, cool British girl.
Random Quote: other people's minds are small, your mind is enormous. You don't want to be like everyone else.
A different Sort of Normal
POV: first person
Some info: semi-autobiographical, written by and about an autistic woman, another book that made me question if I was really neurotypical, cats, nice drawings, gayness, talks about autism symptoms that are sometimes ignored.
Random Quote: I asked my dad where he was keeping the ice-cream, and he said, in full seriousness, 'in the cupboard.'
Don't Stop thinking About Tomorrow
