Need recommendations for books

Anything fantasy is welcome since it's my favorite genre!
Please do keep the amount of romance to a limit as I do not enjoy the overuse of it in many of the novels that I've read.
Something along the lines of Percy Jackson would be quite nice ^ ^
Thank you~

Uhh. I'm about halfway through the first book in the Mortal Instruments series (I think it's 5 books?) and it's not too bad so far. May be a little less appealing to male readers though, I dunno.

Another book I absolutely LOVE is called "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. I need to read that book again soon, in fact.

Artemis Fowl possibly?
It's slightly more realistic than Percy Jackson, but still has some fantasy elements.

Not recommended if you dislike tech-stuff though.
And there's always the Harry Potter series as well as the Inheritance Cycle.

*Inheritance cycle is great for the limited romance, it doesn't end in a sappy way at all. Except for a certain couple, but they're more of a side story anyway, and don't interfere with the story too much.
