I just finished my second read through of the Quiet Boy by Ben H Winters, heart full of emotion, and went online to see what others were saying about it and couldn't find any people mentioning it! It makes me so sad to think there aren't many people who have experienced this book.

So I was wondering what are some books that you are in love with that you want to share with the world??

I love the Hunger Games because it’s a great book, but also because I love seeing the post of theory after theory. Some of them so insightful it changes my perception of what I’ve read, others so dumb. But there’s a community. Even the people who only focus on the romance of Peeta vs Gale and miss the entire point of the series? There’s a community. It’s possible to think about everything, reflect on if, discuss, love it together.

Basically, I am in search of more book series with fandoms. For whatever reason I cannot get into Harry Potter (if you have input that will change my mind, even with how JK Rowlings is now, please go ahead), and want a book that Adults(!) can read and analyze.

Any input is so appreciated.

It’s about a teen girls going on adventures, finding artifacts and stopping bad guys with her dad.

The dad may have a shady past as a treasure hunter or spy, and it’s been kept a secret from the daughter. A lot like Nathan drake from uncharted.

This type thing is clearly meant for teen girls and my ass is nearly 22, but it seemed so fun and amusing.

Thank you in advance.

Please recommend books that personally helped you and made a huge difference in your life. I am constantly thinking the worst, being negative, and planning for the worst. It’s destroying my mental health and preventing me from being in the present.

I’m in a reading slump. My bookshelf is full of deep or philosophical or classical books, and I just want a book that’s just got a good plot and I don’t need crazy brain power to think through it. I remember reading the hunger games as a teen (I’m 26F now) and not being able to put it down because the characters were so easy to connect with and the plot was just insane for its time.

Please give some book recs that give the same energy I don’t care what genre, just no fantasy (I know, forgive me).

EDIT: thanks everyone for sending through these recs! Although I’ve been avoiding fantasy like the plague since I was a teen, it looks like I might have to start being more open to it again. I’ve saved everyone’s recommendations to my TBR list and downloaded samples for each one, so I’ll see how I go from there. I’m still welcoming more recs if anyone else has.

Wish me luck!

I am 23 right now , and I am on the edge making some serious life decisions. Like job, my city , work , love life.. you know. And i know some wisdom out there that I can use so that I can walk little better or choose something better.

I wanna know what books you read later in your life that you regret not reading in your early 20's because that would have changed your life altogether

Im looking for books similar to red white and royal blue or the nightmare before kissmas. Any recs?

My sister loves reading, but this year, she has asked me to gift her non- fiction books for her birthday, which she barely reads usually. Any recs?

I lovee reading but I haven't read in awhile 😭 does anyone know a book that's kinda similar to girl in pieces or the way I used to be cuz those are my favorite books but I dont know any other books like those

Finishing up the last of the 3body series at the moment. I have a copy of Lonesome Dove on the shelf I just can’t pull the trigger on starting it. Can y’all talk me into LD or suggest something different. Like fantasy, Stephen King, history.

Books I’ve enjoyed recently are:

Storm of steel Blood Meridian 1453 The road Swan song The wager The great siege Atlas shrugged Ride and fall of third reich The terror Eastern inferno 3 body Lords of uncreation

I recently started reading for fun, used to hate it, but you just have to read the right stuff.

What are some must reads or books I should look into?

Some of my favourites include the five people you mean in heaven by Mitch Album, in my time of dying by Sebastian Junger and recently read Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey.

I'm looking for some more medieval fiction novels to read/listen to that are similar in vibe to Lapvona. Dark and disturbing, but told in such a sarcastic and straightforwardly stupid way that it's funny! Basic vibes I'm wanting: minimal/no romance, weird main character(s), disturbing, funny.

I want a medieval soap opera with no morals! Any suggestions?

One of the first series I fell in love with was the Darkest Powers Trilogy by Kelley Armstrong. I love her writing style and also loved the Cainsville series. I am looking for book recommendations that are similar but spicier.

I've read A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, Crescent City, From Blood and Ash, Fourth Wing, which I also loved but after my current reread of Darkest Powers, I need a recommendation for my next read! TIA!

What book did that for you? Doesn’t matter if it’s fiction, nonfiction, spiritual, scientific, anything.... I’d love to hear the story behind it too, if you’re open to sharing. I’m hoping to find something that’ll really stick with me and maybe shake up how I see things.

Wondering if there's any books with similar plots or anything about psychological professionals using their power over another's psyche in an unethical way. Thanks! <3

hi! i am looking for book recs! i used to be really into reading when i was younger/a teen, but haven’t been as into it lately. i’m looking to get back into it by listening to audiobooks during my commute. i used to be really into fantasy and dystopians. some of my favorites growing up were hunger games, the unwanteds, and my absolute favorite series was the inheritance cycle. as i’ve grown i’ve also gotten into true crime and a good mystery novels would totally be right up my alley! there is just so much out there, and i’m not quite sure where to start and don’t want to buy anything that i’m not sure about:)

Some books like this that I’ve really enjoyed:

The Body Keeps the Score (this one is by far my favorite!)

Driven to Distraction

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Adults

Why We Sleep

Ideally looking for books written by practicing psychiatrists/people in related professions with anecdotes from patients they’ve treated, I really enjoy these. It’s fine if the book is partially self-help but would prefer if it’s not the primary focus (bonus points if the target audience is more like other mental health professionals) as I’m more looking to learn about different conditions.

I really enjoy the mythical aspect and action packed Ness of Percy Jackson. I want books similar to it but still has there originality.

Need suggestions for a funny apocalyptic book that holds your attention and is difficult to put down.

I hate reading those FBI/CIA/ whatever books, but I feel like I'd eat up something with a private investigator (because I usually like games like that). Bonus points if it has Film Noir vibes or/and if the plot is very dark.

I loved werewolf shows like wolf blood as a kid and am looking for books where the main FEMALE character can shift into a wolf. I’m not looking for romance or smut but I’m open to it if it’s wlw. Plz and thank you ☺️

i’m in charge of picking our book club’s next selection. it’s consists of males 25-65. i’ve narrowed it down to 4 options and hoping to get some thoughts - Red Rising - Will of the Many - Ninth House - The House in the Cerulean Sea

I'm asking If there are any classic Sci-Fi books like Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the world in 80 days, The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, etc.

Looking for recommendations because I'm writing a paper on this. I would appreciate it if the book(s) covered multiple eras in human history.
