I already know about Harry Potter (obviously) so we can skip this one.

FYI: I’ve read all riordanverse books.

So I want to start reading murakami book, but I don't which book should 8 read first and also I have heard of murakami books which contains a series of short stories, which book is bcoz i forgot the name, can you please with both of this plz

I'm in search of a book where the FMC is fresh out of a relationship due to something like the ex cheating and she engages in a fake relationship with someone to ward him off. Like maybe the ex talked crap about her to make it sound like she couldn't get anyone else or something. Maybe the ex started dating someone else to try and make her jealous because she wouldn't forgive him for the cheating and take him back. Bonus points if the guy she is fake dating is in a long distance (failing) relationship himself. Double bonus points if the the ex cheated with her best friend. I've read someday maybe by Colleen Hoover already which has similar vibes but without the fake dating and I've read the bad boy bargain by Kendra highley. I just want something that matches what I'm looking for better than those did.

Currently binge watching Nora Ephron movies and would LOVE to read juicy enemies to lovers story like You’ve Got Mail that has you kicking your feet when he confesses his love for her.

HELP!!

Thanks 🙏🏼

I'm still a new reader I haven't read any books But I am intresting thriller stuff so I wanted some recommendations on murder mystery books It should be very intresting and keep me on the edge kind of thing with thriller

Hey y’all, my brother is looking to get back into reading and he hasn’t really read much since High School but he loved John Grisham books, A Painted House as well as A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. He said he’s not a huge fan of mystery or detective novels, any ideas?

I love sasaki and miyano/ hell followed with us and I also wanna find more books about sexuality and gender cause it makes me very happy to understand and love other people in the community! Hoping some of you lovely people can help me :3

I've been needing some fluffy romance (preferably with some steam/spice) lately.

I DO NOT want recommendations where the female love interest is useless/spineless. I adore Ali Hazelwood where the FLI is intelligent and has a character with depth.

Love enemies to lovers tropes.

Not fond of Omega verse, but do like urban fantasy, vampire and other paranormal romances.

Open to RH.

Thanks in advance!

hey! so i was searching for a book, webtoon or anything with the male knight x prince trope (that is actually good) does anyone have some recommendations?

My absolute favorite books are the lord of the rings series. I just finished the silmarillion and now I’m looking to branch out a bit. I know these aren’t anything like lord of the rings but here’s what I’m considering: Piranesi, 2001, The road, The old man and the sea, Shogun, Neuromancer. Any other suggestions?

I love when books feel like they’ve punched me in the gut. Sad gay books are my favorite I’m looking for a slow burn type of story, or like a doomed relationship.

I got really into “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe”, and really want to find something similar

Looking for books to read based off books I like but I can't identify a specific genre.

I am somewhat new to enjoying reading. I was forced to read as a kid and it made me hate it but I have read some good books recently that got me going. I am looking for new books to read but don't really know where to look or what to try out. Some books I have read that I really enjoyed:

•Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett •Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi •The Undoing of Saint Silvanus by Beth Moore •In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson •Neon Gods by Katee Robert (I know its smut but I got it by accident thinking it was about actual Greek gods and ended up enjoying the read)

Any recommendations?

Pretty please. Been listening that song on repeat and would love something that gives off those vibes

Hello! I just finished reading the book The Wish by Nicholas Sparks. Do you have any book recommendations similar to this or that you think are must-reads? (I prefer romance novels because who doesn’t love romance books?)

I've recently gotten interested in crime, mystery, thrillers. And I've always found this concept/storyline to be very interesting.

Hi! I am rewatching tangled again and I just LOVE Flynn as a character. Someone who is super witty, and just a little flirty. I don’t really know how to describe it but I want a book like that so badly!

I just finished season 1 of the show, and I think it would make a really good book. But because I haven't seen seasons 2-5, I just want to know about books similar to season 1.

Hello! I'm looking for some historical fiction recommendations pleeeease. I absolutely love the Kingsbridge series by Ken Follett and I'm just finishing up The Last Kingom series by Bernard Cornwell which I am so deeply in love with, it's unreal😅 No idea what to read next for this genre!

If you don't read historical fiction but you see this post, please feel free to recommend ya favourite book, or whatever you want, bc I'll read anything😁

I'm looking for recs where the main character leaves a group/friends because of their treatment of them, and the story picks up once they return maybe a few years later, and all the original friends regret their choices etc. I know this is a popular trope in fanfiction, but I was hoping to see it well executed in a book. Looking for fantasy specifically, but open to other genres.

I need all of the spicy, Enemies to lovers romantasy recommendations! With slow burn preferably. I’m in the biggest book slump ever and just need a good book to get me out of it!

TYIA

CAN someone please please please recommend some good Indian romances? Doesn't matter if it is set in India or not. Smut works. Any trope but preferably enemies to lovers. PLEASE HELP ME FIND GOOD RECS.😭 I want something to read after my exams get over.

Hey all! I (she/her) love my job and also like the people that work there. I recently had a bad situation with an employee where they clearly didn’t like me, being directed on what to do, etcetc…but only if it was me doing the directing. They were “fine” when directed by the other managers. Without going too into details, I’m hoping someone has a book (audiobook preferred) on being a manger/handling tough situations and staff/communication styles etcetc. Thank you!

I'm in a bit of a reading slump and just looking for something short like 300 page ish max that isn't part of a series. No thriller or horror please!

I really want to read books that don’t make characters gay/lesbian/etc…that last thirty romantasy books I read had that, and I’m tired of that ALWAYS being apart of the genre. I want NEWER books as well, I’ve read all the classic fantasy books. Thanks!

I'm going on vacation shortly and am looking for something to take to read. It will be a somewhat remote location so it needs to be an analog book, not ebook. Don't know what the charging situation will be like.

Searching for: possibly fantasy, a series (long or short) would be nice to spend the year reading. I like strong female protagonists, idiotic male protagonists who finally get it together but still have idiotic moments. Romance is ok. Doesn't need to be racy. Fun mythic animals are always a plus.

Or a murder mystery, not to gory and not hard to follow. I will be on vacation and do have ADHD.

Mostly I'm trying to branch out from the WW2 historical fiction I've been reading since 2020 when the world went nuts. I've read WAY to much and have WAY to many of those in my Audible library waiting for me.

Authors that appear a lot on my Goodreads: Carlene O'Connor, Melinda Leigh, Kendra Elliot, Juliet Blackwell, Kristen Britain (I really liked her Green Rider series in the 1st 2 books but the 3 just didn't do it for me so I stopped there), Kate Quinn (BIG fan), Loreth Anne White, Beatriz Williams, Sherryl Woods.

Thank you in advance for anyone who read and has suggestions for me. If they don't work for my trip I need to fill up my 2025 reading dance card so they will be kept and cherished.

I need a book that the FMC leaves her husband because he cheats on her with someone close to her. And then the Ex- Husbands brother or best friend has been wanting her for forever but will wait for her and comfort her when she needs it. I definitely want spice in the book but I really want to read this storyline. I can’t write.

Not really looking for erotica or smut with this since I'm more interested in the culture and politics behind kink than I am in finding any sort of gratification from it.

Can be fiction or nonfiction, just so long as there's some content for me to analyze and learn from since I'm really into this topic and want to dive a little deeper into it. Also my new years resolution was to read more books so I really need to find stuff I'll like 🙏.

Ay. So yesterday i finished reading Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion and absolutely loved it, now its got me in the mood for a very particular flavor of novel: corny, mildly self-aware stuff from the early 2000s, preferably also narrated by a self-identified intellectual.

Warm Bodies made me feel so nostalgic, even if this was my first time reading it in 2025. Everything about it just oozed with era-specific stank, it’s what I imagine cracking the Nickelodeon time capsule would feel like for 90s kids. The everyman niceguy protagonist, the hammy song lyrics, the occasional slightly insensitive language, the “I’m not like other girls, I smoke weed and listen to john lennon”, the joss whedon-levels of “errm, well that just happened!” Etc etc.

Doesn’t necessarily need to be a love story, but that genre seems to have the most overlap of all those things, so romance isn’t totally off the table. A lot of the places ive searched for similar books are recommending john green, which seems like a step in the right direction. But id kind of prefer something lesser-known, and Warm Bodies grabbed my attention straight away with its unconventional premise. Id like something like that, something not as grounded in reality. A little morbid, horror fantasy/sci-fi.

Im not exactly asking for bad books to laugh at. I did genuinely love Warm Bodies, my favorite thing about it overall is that it’s so sincere. I wouldn’t consider it cliched since im pretty sure it was one of the trailblazers that solidified all those tropes, and there were plenty of actually profound lines in there. The author really poured his heart into it and i could feel that.

Its also got me on a bit of a horror kick now, so that leads us to the next ask: anyone know any good gritty retellings of classic fairytales and stuff of that nature? I know the market’s a little oversaturated these days, at least in games, but ive always been fascinated by the idea of twisting something innocent and kid-friendly into cosmic horror territory.

Problem is, every time i come across something promising exactly that, it ends up disappointing me with its overindulgence (example: nearly every “what if alice in wonderland but shes CRAAAAZY???” iteration). Id prefer a good balance between the whimsy and spooky, maybe even a fairytale that hasn’t already been rebooted and retold like, fuckmillion times. I haven’t gotten around to playing it yet, but the concept alone for Lies Of P basically ticks every box for me, and if it were a book I’d be all over it.

Obviously im not looking for both of those things in one book, though itd be pretty wild if there was a book like that. More of an either-or, I just want something dark and fantastical to read. Thanx :}
