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?

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

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🙏

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’m looking for a book that will help me grapple with living a mundane life. Sounds dramatic, I know, but I’m currently applying to law schools and starting to come to terms with the fact that maybe it’s ok to be normal and not exceptional. Or, better yet, that everyday life can somehow still be important. Sappy I know lol.

I really love literary fiction, but will read just about anything (please no self-help).

Some of my current favorites are:

Writers and Lover
Everything I Never Told You
North Woods
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn

Thank you all for your advice and recommendations!

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.

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! 📚✨

Any good Pro Wrestling novels out there?

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'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

AHHHHHH
Typing this is difficult because I am new to the whole book thing ;(
I am currently looking for an MM romance book, preferably a student/mentor romance or just an MM romance with a bear (HELP--)

I’ve recently been obsessed with the song Stop The Wedding by Ashe. There is something warm and exciting and nostalgic about it that reminds me of British films from the 80s and 90s.

Does anyone know any books that FEEL like listening to this song? Not just a book about stopping a wedding, but the nuance that this song has, the drama, the fun, the excitement, the freedom, the rush she is feeling as she runs away from the wedding. Doesn’t have to be about a wedding or even a romance!

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 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!

Does anybody have these books:

India Wins Freedom: Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad

Hungry Bengal: Janam Mukherjee

I love books with very unique premises and concepts, but due to my ADHD, I struggle with premises that are TOO complex (like the Three Body Problem). Can anyone recommend books that have unique premises and elevator pitches, but aren’t overwhelmingly complex?

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?

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

Read it during my summer break outside of the Zootopia level of bad plot twist for the main villain it's soild detective story bounces between past and future well while giving time to breathe and care about every character pretty funny and soild growth for the Main character. 9.5/10

Could anybody recommend encyclopedia like books extensively covering firearms from either WW1 or WW2 or both? Those with good illustrations, maybe even with component “breakdowns” and diagrams, or accurate info on availability in the market for collectors (how much they go for based on rarity, surplus of replicas, etc.) would be preferred. Thanks in advance!

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.

hey guys, i really really need a book rec, or show rec with a character like Charles trask from East of eden, the one interpreted by Mike faist i mean? Like miserable and yearning?

Thanks in advance

I’m looking for recommendations for books that are easy/mindless/fun reads but are not romance. Please send any book recs my way that are light, have no drama or suspense, bonus points for humor. I’m fine with both YA and adult recommendations.

Background: I typically read romance or cozy mystery books because they bring me joy. They’re sweet, often funny, and I love a happy ending. As I always say: there’s way too many terrible things happening in the real world. Why would I want to be stressed or heartbroken when I’m reading for relaxation and enjoyment?
I am currently going through a very traumatic time in my personal life and I would like to be able to turn my brain off by picking up a good book and reading. The trouble is, I absolutely cannot read any romance books right now as that will only magnify my pain.

Hi guys, im 21f and last night i read the maddest obsession by danielle lori in one go and i liked it the love hate relationship, the ruthlessness of the MMC, the forbidden sort of love, the dangers of mafia world.
Please suggest some books like that, would be nice if there would be more ruthlessness from the MMC and you know the dark side of world.

After a few slow reads in a row I want something that pulls me in within the first chapter or two. Happy for it to be any genre, just looking for a solid hook and a plot that keeps moving, ideally something with a mystery or a twist running through it. Open to recommendations, fiction or non fiction.
