I stumbled on this one and it left me dazzled:"To all the writers who torment their characters the way God torments the poor and sick." I instantly thought it must be George R.R. Martin for sure. by FunnyErectionBunny
i love love love love aot so much and i'm searching for another series that gives me the same feeling. just anything that reminded you of aot in any way and feel free to explain why! i really like how in aot, by the end, the story became so much bigger than what we thought [...]
On social media i was looking at hashtags for books, authors, writing etc and it was fun content. Then i realized the content creators, small authors, and collabs were rarely ever men. As a guy I don't know why more men dont participate in this sphere or community. I mean, im a guy and I [...]
Hi all, I could really use your help finding books for a loved one in crisis while they receive treatment and have virtually no other stimuli. This is going to get specific and unfortunately their reading needs are the complete opposite of what I have in my own library.. I am looking for about 5 [...]

Treasure hunting, action, mysteries & puzzles, but in a modern or future setting by Laop92
I am thinking of picking up The Catcher in the Rye again because I didn’t really appreciate it in high school, but I think I might in the frame of mind to appreciate it better. I also love speculative sci-fi about the dangers of modern tech going unchecked (like the show Black Mirror). Recently read [...]
Hit me with your best memoirs by insufferable people or wonderful people in terrible situations. I have to go nurse someone after a brutal surgery and I am desperate for a book that captivates me. I loved The Sound of Gravel by Wariner, The Glass Castle by Walls, H is for Hawk by McDonald, Wave [...]
“20th Century Ghosts” by Joe Hill, with an introduction by Christopher Golden, is an excellent anthology of short stories. I’ve read a good amount of Hill’s books over the years, and he never disappoints. Just like his legendary father, Stephen King, I’ve noticed similar writing styles, but Hill is carving out his own legacy in [...]
2026 National Book Festival celebrates the enduring power of books by zsreport
I know y'all are wondering the similarities of the books share, but having read these two books recently, I noticed that they are so informative–informative in a sense that I learned about Russian Literature, Turkey and Serbia, Harvard University, etc., from Batuman's novel; while I learned so much about unheard of stuff, which I can't [...]
My favorite action book/movie trope is when people of rivaling groups put their differences aside and come together to defeat a greater evil. Are there any books like that? I can’t seem to find any and I don’t like using ai to help with that. by WiltingInReverse
So I infamously don’t read, I joke about it but I wish I could. Obviously I have adhd and haven’t found a book interesting enough to keep me engaged or really committed two past a few pages tbh. I tried ACOTAR cause everyone said I’d love it and it was interesting but I kinda gave [...]
I'm participating in a small worldbuilding contest, the theme is fictional genre about what could historical countries be if they didn't disappear. I plan to use Rome theme, so i need to know about their culture, what is their financial model, social structure, believe, archivements and how did the country fall. Are there books that [...]
A book about a about a young woman who is very complexed/depressed by her physical appearance, but she gets out of the loop by actually doing something with her life and exploit her talents. by TowelCrazy6919
Finally read Station Eleven after having it on my TBR for over a decade. Looking for other speculative fiction books that are similarly dystopian without being too violent/grim. It almost felt like cozy dystopia to me? To the extent that that’s even possible… Obviously the premise was upsetting and there were violent and troublesome story [...]
Hii! So a few weeks ago, I finished "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo " and the library site recommended"There's Only One Sin in Hollywood," which I just finished. Im really digging these Old Hollywood/Golden Age age of Hollywood settings and stories. Any other books you can suggest to me? by AllCoffeeNoOmelete

What books can help me develop a profound wisdom of cause and effect—understanding human behavior, motives, emotions, intentions, political patterns, and the recurring cycles of society? I want books that show how the same patterns manifest at both the individual and collective level, how actions and inner dispositions eventually produce consequences, and how these patterns [...]
I need your help to find best encyclopedia of nature such as landscape or flora-fauna and dinosaurus(p.s. you guys can give me other genre of encyclopedia). Please guys this is literally the most exciting type of book that i wanted to read by Advanced_Cut6172
My grandchild's 3+ and I'd like to get her some books that transition to longer stories. Hoping to find recs for first story/chapter books that have good representation (not rooted in patriarchy/racism/bias, conscious or not). Thanks! by suekearneymaven
Hello all! I have book club today, and this month we traded books so that everyone is reading a beloved book from one other person in our group. We are supposed to bring a snack based on the book. My problem: I was given I'll Be Seeing You by Mary Higgins Clark, and food doesn't [...]
Hey everyone, im looking for a horror book suggestion to read while I'm out in the woods deer hunting. To be fully honest the only 2 real books I've read in the past few years are "The hollow places" and "the twisted ones" by T. Kingfisher. I did really enjoy those books, but a tried [...]
Looking for bookstores that have complete international shipping. I don't mind local post (USPS/ Royal Mail etc) but DHL/ups/FedEx would be preferable. Most stores I've found with international shipping tend to be international in the same way singers do "world tours." Amazon US is my current best option but I've been experiencing a growing distrust [...]
Are there books that have characters, doesn't matter if main or not, that are like Holland from V E Schwab's Shades of magic, especially the third book for people who didn't like anything except him, and thought he needed more time as a character because he was the only person acting normal for a person [...]
(Cross posting from r/RomanceBooks) TLDR: I was never too big on romances, but recently I got really invested in a YouTube channel that makes book reviews, mostly romance. A lot of it is poorly written or pretty boring with a wide variety of the most popular tropes and stereotypes, most of the people are traditionally [...]
I’ve been looks all over but they’re all either just full series of different couples or standalone. I love a mafia duology that is a hea, would love a slower burn and tension but yeah help pls by Professional_Web_142
I'm interested in finding stories which vary between first and third person perspectives, particularly to explore the differences between how people perceive and how they are perceived – the disconnect between internal and external lives, the differing values of subjectivity and objectivity. Do you have any favourites which fit that description? by squishie93
Good morning people, I need your help. I need a novel, a stand alone novel, one that isn't extremely long either. I've had my fair share of +800 pages series this year and I'm in dire need of a history with beginning, middle and end in a single book. Could be any genre since I'm [...]

I never ever cared about trigger warnings until I had kids. And I simply just get nightmares about my children when I read something the directly involves child abuse. And a lot of thrillers seem to be focused around that. So any suggestions would be awesome. I’m perfectly fine with basically anything happening to an [...]
I have wanted to read this book for a long time. I like history, historical fiction, prewar South, Jim Crow South etc. and I have watched a lot of movies and read a bunch of books. I just finished reading Lonesome Dove, what an incredible book, and I thought why not finally read Gone With [...]
I recently read Penance by Eliza Clark and True Crime Story by Joseph Knox, both of which are written in the format of interviews of characters, e-mails, etc. I loved both and would love to read more that are similar!! by Ill_Consequence51
Do you ever feel and hear the tone in some books, where it could've been written beautifully but with a terrible plot, or a great plot but feels written by a robot? by tezacer
It’s kind of like how rom coms disappeared from movies, until people started to crave them again. After reading a ton of books, what do you wish there are more of now? I loved reading and watching Normal People and One Day. What’s the closest book to those now? by RixxieRar
my toddler loves books and is so curious & observant. we love to travel and teach him things. I want to help him stay curious & know there is more than his tiny rural town haha. I’m picturing a National Geographic type book with nice engaging pictures but also informative information. illustrated books are fine [...]
So I’ve read both Secret History and The Goldfinch and v much enjoyed. Realized there was another book of hers I hadn’t read and happily settled down to read it. The first 400 or so pages of the Little Friend I enjoyed very much. It was lush, I had a real sense of place and [...]
Looking for a book with a slow burn romance where people cross paths over and over again over a long period of time and there are sparks but it never works out. I want to YEARN but the romance doesn’t need to be the biggest part of the story. For context I recently read Addie [...]
this is kinda far fetched but does anyone have any recommendations of books sorta like the uncle Steve episode of Rick and Morty but with more of a thriller/horror lean into it? dark matter is probably the closest that I've read to this sorta thing so any suggestions would be appreciated. by tthelongway
Like the title says, I loved the Passage by Justin Cronin and Devolution by Max Brooks. I don't care how long a book is as long as it's a page-turner. I love a fresh take on an old monster, like vampires that are in no way seductive or a Sasquatch that is not in fact [...]
Hi! I don't really know what famous books have been published for book lovers. The only book series I might've finished and read was the Red Queen. by chimichanggaa
I’m looking for books that give you that feeling where you completely disappear into the story and don’t want to put the book down. For me, that happened with: – Kafka on the Shore – One Hundred Years of Solitude – The Kite Runner There’s something special about those books where you get so immersed [...]
I'd like to see ones where both are a part of punk/goth/metal culture. A lot I see are usually one but paired with a nerdy/preppy type character and I would really like a story with both characters a part of the culture/lifestyle. by Insomia_Incarnate
Please send me your recs for fave Lisa Jewell novels (or the ones I should avoid!) I read one the I LOVED (None Of This Is True), then read another that I could barely finish (Then She Was Gone). So I feel like I need to give her another chance before I decide if I [...]
I’m looking for novels where humanity is the ancient precursor or elder race—an advanced civilization that engineered or seeded countless intelligent species and civilizations before eventually transcending reality, migrating to another dimension/universe, or going extinct. Specifically, those stories where humanity is that mysterious elder race that left countless legacies for younger descendant…
Pulpy crime novels that have a strong emotional core and go slightly beyond genre pleasures . by Current_Wear_8061
My girlfriend's birthday is coming up, and she's a massive transport nerd, especially for planes and trains. I was wondering if any of you have any good suggestions for books on that topic? Specifically, she is interested in commercial aviation (not military), and would be interested in a book on European passenger trains, particularly Germany [...]
Hey all, I am looking for a good book about an extinction-level pandemic. Preferably one that shows everything from the moment patient zero is infected to the fall of humanity. Got any good recommendations? by Mr_Hoovy23
The Book Rack is closing after 49 years. I’m not the only one struggling to say goodbye: Here’s what the used book store has meant to Denver, and me. by drak0bsidian
I just finished this book a few days ago and I have been thinking back on it constantly. What a quietly profound story. It has left me with such an introspective and nostalgic feeling that I almost want to reread it right away. One thing I've found is that many interpretations turn this story into [...]
