Hey, looking for a romance story line like the one in Monte Carlo, could be like the Selena's or Leighton's. Although I'm looking for more like Selena's, because I know that for the Leighton's there is Love & Gelato and others. If you have a really good one of either of them, please do tell. Thank you!

I've been in kinda a slump and I'm trying to switch genres. I think I would like regency books with a castle like setting and royalty. I don't mind if it's historical fiction or even historical fantasy. I would also really like it if there's a bit of romance as well. I haven't read any so im not sure there's any reference for books that I can give but I did enjoy the setting in my next life as a villainess, villains are destined to die and 7th time loop

When I think about this book I read in middle school it sounds so ridiculous considering it's most definitely a ya book, but I promise it's real.

It starts with this super rich family on Thanksgiving I think (they were talking about turduckins if I'm remember correctly). There's a Mother, Father, Older sister, teenage boy(Protagonist), twin brother, and grandmother(I think). And all of a sudden the dad gets his family into his underground bomb shelter because of a nuclear attack or something, but he leaves the protagonist's twin brother and the grandmother behind.

The family spends years in this bunker because it isn't safe to leave and they start to run out of food. Dad decides it's a good idea to start impregnating his wife so they can raise children to eat. I think they also drink the mom's breast milk, but I might have imagined that part.

After a while I think the Dad decides that his daughter could be contributing more and tries to get her to also start having children they can raise in a special room so they can eat them later.

The protagonist avoids the food children room until one day he decides to go in there and ends up bonding with one of his little brothers and starts to question why his father thinks it's a good idea to be eating these children.

In the end I think the protagonist uses an old laptop that was in the bunker for some reason to communicates with his twin and he realizes that his father is actually insane and a liar because there was never any sort of attack or threat.

There was also a second book, but all I remember about that one is that the protagonist falls in love and grabs the Girl's elbow.

My Google searches aren't helping, and I can't remember any title from the series. So on the off chance anyone remembers a series like this, please let me know.

Plot: Children born outside the 2 child rule are hidden and kept secret. These children banded together to overthrow the oppressive government trying to keep them from existence. I think one of the kids was named Luke? Maybe?

Anyway, sorry that's absolutely nothing to go off of lol.

For instance, crescent city or city of bones where they have electricity and technology.

I don’t know why, but I just suddenly felt like reading some tender romance novels as I was looking for some recent works as it can be either supernatural or realistic as I was just looking for some recent stuff that uses romantic themes as a concept.

Hey everyone! I’m in search of some southern gothic horror books! Open to anything!

I was looking at the vague reviews for Spectacular on Goodreads, and I'm sitting there like: Steph, what did you do this time?

Spoilers please. I don't think I'm going to read it anyway.

The illustrations I've seen look great, but the crime that occurred has deterred me from picking it up.

I heard Jacks isn't in it, otherwise I would've flown out of my cave like a bullet to buy it.

Ok so I am looking for books where they have the opposite of a meet cute and instantly hate each other till they have an argument and end up kissing but dont stop disliking each other until a few chapters later . w. I read this in hes so fine by Zelda French where they absolutely despise each other on first meeting and thought it was so cute especially with the bantering and fluff. Female /male or male /male young adult and new adult

Any suggestions appreciated!

The Blonde Dies First was my favorite this month. I enjoyed the characters and story and I didn't predict the ending!

I just started OUABH and am only 100 pages in. From the things I've accidentally been spoiled by, I thought she ends up with Jacks - but now Apollo is proposing to her? And I heard Luc comes back at some point?

I'm really confused. I skipped Caravel because I'm only really interested on Eva ending up with Jacks. Does she - or should I read Caravel for that ending instead?

Please don't spoil the entire series - just let me know what I should do to end up with the Eva x Jacks ending 😩

i am looking for books like wild child and or royals by rachel hawkins where one of them is rebellious and they end up in situation where they assign someone to be a good influence on them . i want them to not like each other at start and the more rebellious one . find them stuffy at first and the other one to also be annoyed by them than they catch feelings for each other . female /male or male /male

Hi!

Just finished this series, and I'm split between loving it or being very meh about it. Thing is, I devoured it so quickly that I surely missed so many interesting points, and now I'm left wondering all sorts of things.

For example: while Jacks did have an attraction for Evangeline (did he? 😅), he still wanted to get back with Donatella for a second try till nearly the end of book 2, right? Even if he knew he didn't love her (did he, again? 😅). Because he knew he couldn't have a happy ending with Eva, based on the Archer curse.

But then, when he saves Eva, but she loses her memories, why is he so into her getting them back again in book 3? He wanted for her to forget about him, so she could live a good life. And then she remembers him (and he even begs her to), but then he's still set on sacrificing his heart and losing her.

I'm very confused, and again, it could be just down to me going too fast.

I guess that says that the series had potential for me, but some clarifications would definitely benefit me.

Thank you!

hii!! i'm looking for some ya books with the criteria mentioned in the title. preferably those that came out were published within the last 3-5 years. please only recommend ya books. thanks in advance!!

Hi! I am 27, lol, and recently reread ‘Wake’ by Lisa Mcmann and The Night World Series by LJ Smith. Loved both of those when I was about 13. I’m trying to keep the nostalgia kick going…any other recommendations? I’m trying to remember what books I loved in circa 2008-2012. Who remembers big paranormal romance from that time? Similar to the titles mentioned….ty!

I’m looking for a book me and my little sister can read together. She loved Mondays not Coming by Tiffany Jackson. she loves thrillers (like me) but mine are usually a little darker. She’s mature in the way of dealing with a lot of family drama and addiction issues for our other siblings. So she can handle those themes easily. Any ideas?

Can be snakes on the cover, in the title, etc. Thank you!

I'm looking for book suggestions suitable for a young teen (15). I’m intrigued by books like "The Secret History","Bunny", and "A Certain Hunger" but Im worried that they might be too complex or difficult to understand. If you have any recommendations that are similar to these books but are appropriate for a younger audience then I would greatly appreciate them!
