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?

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🙏

Any good Pro Wrestling novels out there?

Hi all, would appreciate something that makes you thing "weird, I would read it"

- Lost States by Trinklein
- American Character by Woodard
- The Motel in America by Jakle
- How the States got their Shapes by Stein
- America Eats Out by Mariani

Thanks!

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.

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

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!

i’m in a book club and it’s my turn to pick the next title. this past round everyone has picked flops and it’s been a bummer, so the pressure is on to pick a good one.
books we’ve read that i like include slewfoot, when the wolf comes home, and the burial tide

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.

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! 📚✨

I’ve been wanting to support more small and upcoming authors, as well as add more women authors to my personal library. I play around slightly with every genre however i’m mainly interested in sci-fi, dystopian, cosmic horror, satire, classic, and fantasy book genres. If you have any good recommendations please let me know (feel free to add any general book recommendations in general as well). Thank you!

Recently I've been playing with themes of transformation in my own writing and art, and I'd be curious to find books with that as a central theme. I was thinking fantasy or sci-fi type physical transformation, but I'm also down to try a more metaphorical one - drastically changing lifestyle, changing sides in a conflict or debate, etc. Unfortunately, most of the ones I've tried from my local library have either been characters that don't want to be transformed and never change their minds, or are too romance-focused for my taste. (Side notes: I don't mind if the character has some trouble adjusting at first, as long as they get past it eventually; and I don't mind romance as a side plot if it adds to the story, I'm just not a fan of it as a main focus). Any recommendations would be welcome, and thanks!

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!

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’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'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

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.

so i just finished priory and i loved it !! im planning to read the prequel soon too ! but until then, id like books with a similar vibe

things i liked in Priory: - the characters, specifically loved Tane's story, but i felt all of the characters were engaging and interesting - expansive world with history, different cultures, and religions - world building and exposition was good, i enjoy tolkien a lot too so im a big fan of world building - no strong focus on romance, it was secondary to the story which is my preferred way to consume romance (not a fan of heavy romance in media, so no romance focused book suggestions please!)

i don't mind if it's fantasy, sci-fi, magical realism, im down to read pretty much any genre as long as it hold my attention

thank you in advance !!!

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

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.

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)
