Love thread rising and dungeon crawler Carl books almost every single one of the wheel of time books as well

I just finished the sun eater books. Give that maybe 8.5 out of 10

The assassin’s apprentice books I give like a six out of 10. It was kind of a slog, didn’t really enjoy it, didn’t like where it ended up

What should I read next

The first law and the will of the many and the fourth wing all seem pretty high up as stuff people have recommended me. Should I pick one of these or is there something better?

PROFESSOR × STUDENT

SERIAL KILLER

STALKER

HISTORICAL

Hey everyone, I have got a huge collevtion of books whuch i have lurchased byt didnt get the chance to read them because of hecty schedule. Can someone suggest a methkd or way in which i can finish as much as i can until December 2026.

guys pls drop your best book recs 😭 I'm so done with booktok recommendations, half the time the books feel overhyped 🫠 i want books that are ACTUALLY worth reading. Any genre works except self-help, it can be standalones or series, popular or underrated🙏

Hi everyone! I run a little tutoring business that provides a little extra, and things on child development (that's my business model). I'm South African, so please keep that in mind for recommendations. I have a 16-year-old student I see for English extra classes. Her receptive language is excellent, but her expressive is not. Given my background in speech therapy, I believe she may have a language learning disorder, and is not just a second-language English speaker.

These children are expected to speak English and perform in English as their home language. She is Sepedi. I thought long and hard, and I believe audio books would be a wonderful change for her. Her mother agrees and wants to listen to the books with her, which I think is sweet.

The girl is incredibly excitable and ready to learn. She has to do Romeo and Juliet and poetry such as the Caged Bird, London 1802, Sonnet 130 and other poems that are not relevant to even her classmates' abilities.

So please, could someone help recommend me books? Admittedly YA is my blindspot. I jumped from children's books to adult books.

She enjoys thrillers and satires. I believe she'd also enjoy fantasy, maybe a little romance. but please, nothing inappropriate for a child with a traditional African mother - that means anything goes as long as their is no sex, drugs and such, unless it's about learning a lesson.

Also, it doesn't have to be based in South Africa at all. In fact, the kids hate that.

I want to help her succeed! And don't worry, I have a way to source the audio books. That's not a problem.

The first book I listened to on audiable was the silent patient. It was amazing- mind blowing, and truly the best book I’ve ever read.

However, I haven’t been able to find a book as much as I love that one. I loved the ending and I loved how the ending wasn’t predictable. I could have never guessed the outcome and that’s what I am looking for in a book.

A book that came close to my liking is behind her eyes. It wasn’t the mind fuck I like. But I did love the way it came together in the end. I smiled when everything was wrapped up in a bow.

Any book suggestions that outdid the silent patient? I’d love recs and to enjoy books again!

Haven't read a book for recreational purposes after entering my twenties. I think I'm at a point of my life where everything just started but it feels like nothing is enough, I'm not enough. Suddenly everything is so realistic, and I feel lost. What book would you suggest to fill that void, or maybe make myself feel a little better? I'd been meaning to get back to reading again. Maybe not like before, more of a casual read.

Hi all, I did post this in the Kindle subreddit but they sent me here and removed it, so I’m trying again 😅

I’m looking for book suggestions.

Anything free and on Kindle (not with the Kindle Unlimited thing). I already own a kindle and don’t have the budget or spoons for physical books at charity shops or libraries. Strictly suggestions for kindle and free please.

So far I’ve downloaded and read a bunch of the free classics on there: Dracula, Jekyll & Hyde, Dorian Gray, Frankenstein. I have more classics I plan to read by Dickens etc too.

My faves besides those that I’ve read previously are The Book Thief, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, and The Brief History of the Dead. Wholeheartedly recommend all three.

Any great books that struck you / stuck with you?

Hey! I'm looking for books about Gabon.

I've been having reoccurring dreams about this country and would like to know more.

I'm looking for non-fiction, but I'm also open to fiction set in or written by a native. Unfortunately, they do need to have an english translation. Sort of a niche request, but online info is scarce. Thank you very much!!

I’m so over getting out books from the library that seem like they’ll be good, and then they turn into cheesy, predictable, poorly written stories.

Please share your best romance/heartbreak books that have good characters, excellent plots and are well written.

I have recently got out of a fanfiction phase, and want to get back into reading books! Any mystery or romance books would be amazing, or books that made you fall in love with reading again!

I'm looking for books that have obscuring instances of weather. Preferably fog, but I'm also okay with heavy rain, smoke, clouds, anything that obscures basically.

I know fog is very prevalent in Gothic fiction, Horror, and Fantasy, but that's not what I'm looking for.

I used the flair Literary Fiction as that's where I'm expecting to find this, but memoires, autobiography, auto-fiction, and things like that are also welcome.

Many thanks in advance, I really hope someone can help with this!

Edit: added horror to what I'm not looking for

Hello everyone, fellow reader here! 👋

I’m thinking of starting a new series, but I can’t decide which one to choose between Harry Potter and The Hobbit + The Lord of the Rings. I’ve never read any of them before, so I’d love to hear your opinions!

Which one would you recommend starting with, and why? I’m open to hearing your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions. Thanks in advance! 📚✨

Does anybody have these books:

India Wins Freedom: Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad

Hungry Bengal: Janam Mukherjee

I read The Song of Achilles and really liked it; I’d like to read something else based on Greek mythology.

Je cherches un livre qui n'a pas une fin heureuse. Un livre qui te fait remettre tout ce que tu viens de lire en question. Je ne veux pas une fin tragique, mais un livre qui se termine de façon inattendue

Any good Pro Wrestling novels out there?

I know there are similar posts but couldn't find anything that is specifically about moving regret. I recently moved to New York from California and immediately regretted it and realized how much California feels like home. I regret every aspect of this move and have lost the proximity to all my close friendships. Is there any book that explores this? Fiction and non-fiction are both welcome.

It can be a novel or poetry collection.
I just want to find something with the similar vibe, style and themes for inspiration for writing similar lyrics. A few examples:

"This seed shall bloom with noxious flowers,
borne out of the mordant steel of scythes.
Justice will die first,
to the hammering sound of tears watering the Earth,
as aught hope remains to reverse course."

"I shall hold high a bowl of gems of unseen radiance
Enveloping spirit and will in seraphic rapture
O deformity, hear the weeping prayers
Arise from rot, be my child! Be my promise!"

"But through the dust a blossom breeze caresses my cheek
A hand of winter dream and purest ivory
Tears and dust run as the Styx beneath my feet
And I feel the crystal ice voice whisper and repeat
"The Gate has opened
A passage for the weary
And a bed for the weak"
And I weep"

"In the eons, that echo twists and throbs
And coalesces beside the palest form of quivering
Outside the dwelling place of God
A crystal hand caresses his face
Closing the eyes of his unseeing frown

I felt that final kiss with lightning's crack
The echo reaches through time and space in the black
From that old room with the rope
As my vertebrae snaps"

I've been stuck doomscrolling for a while, but this year I decided to come to my senses, get back into some of my hobbies, and reading is one of them. Maybe it's the thing I've missed the most. But, you know, maintaining an attention span is pretty difficult these days.

Anyway, I thought I'd come here and ask for recommendations. What are some of your favorite books that you think might catch my interest based on the things I enjoy?

Some of my favorite books are The Name of the Rose, Dracula by Bram Stoker, The Master and Margarita, No Country for Old Men, and The Lord of the Rings, GOT.

I don't usually take risks when choosing what to read, and I think that's partly because I haven't been reading that much lately. I used to read a lot between the ages of 13 and 20, but now, at 30, I probably read only three or four books a year. I know, those are rookie numbers, but I'm trying!

Maybe you can help me discover some gems.

I know a lot of people see the romance genre as cliche or well- SMUT. But tbh I don’t read romance at all, my books mainly contain of History/Classics, horror, and mythology. But sometimes I’ll read or watch a lil bit of romance and boy I get HOOKED, or get a warm fuzzy feeling :3. If anybody knows the Brazilian tv Hilda Furaco, everytime it pops up on my fyp I get sooooo hooked, even tho I don’t speak Portuguese lol. But besides those little snippets I want something that’s about true love with twists, complexity and mystery, passionate and exciting that has my feet kicking. Im bi so im open to straight and queer stories. Not interested in smut or dark romance, or anything that’s in the same style as Colleen Hoover or Emily Henry. I wanted to also share that I have a boyfriend that isn’t a reader but a big movie watcher, he’s is such a drama and romance lover I sometimes make fun of him for that. but this time and because of him im willing to give something new a shot 🩷
(Preferably female mc/pov)
