Book Recommendations? (5)

Hi, I've finished all the books I wanted to read, so I was wondering if anybody had any book recommendations.
Please tell me the name of the book, author, and summary of it.
Genre wise, I like any except for romance (they're a little too cheesy for my taste, though I don't mind if there are little sprinkles of it through the story)
THANK YOU :)

have you ever read "and then there were none" by Agatha Christie? its a mystery novel where 10 people get send to an island and get killed one by one in a way that matches the poem 10 little soldiers
its a really good read as you try to figure out who did it

Try "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's a quietly melancholy book about an English butler in postwar England. If you like that then you can also try "Flowers for Algernon" (there was an excerpt of this book in my seventh grade English text, and it, like Ishiguro's book, is quietly devastating), which is about the struggles of a man and a mouse who undergo an experiment to make them smarter.
For mystery novels, Christie is always a good read (Christie Fan speaking here, :D).
If you like fantasy, there's a trilogy of books by Garth Nix, "Sabriel", "Lirael", and "Abhorsen". They're about the Abhorsen, which is the title for the sorcerer who puts the Dead to sleep.

I reccomend the novel Flight by Sherman Alexie its a good book even if your not much of a reader...two thumpsđź‘Ťđź‘Ť

Description:
Flight is a novel written by Sherman Alexie. It is written in the first-person, from the viewpoint of a Native American teenager who calls himself Zits, "a time traveling mass murderer." Zits is a foster child, having spent the majority of his life moving from one negative or abusive family experience to another. His friend, Justice, introduces Zits to a new way of thinking, and to the idea of committing random violence. Just in the middle of one of these incidents, Zits is thrust into the body of a stranger—which would become the first of many similar incidents. The story confronts Zits' feelings of vulnerability as a misunderstood teenager, orphan, and as a Native American person.
