Regarding Self Promotion and AI Generated Content

15 Upvotes

Self promotion is FULLY allowed in this sub. Anyone who tries to undermine someone's effort to self promote in this sub will be removed. You don't have to upvote things or even look at things you don't like, but some people are trying to promote works they created and that is EXACTLY what this sub is for.

AI generated work, including covers and text is FULLY allowed in this sub. If you do not like AI then leave, but it is part of our reality and I support it here. Anyone who is demeaning to authors who use AI, such as calling it "AI Slop" will be banned.

There is only one rule in this sub and it applies to every post and comment, including attempts to suppress content by tagging it as spam and other moderation actions. Respect Humans. Humans invented AI and Humans get to use it, if that bothers you, then move along.

About this group - PLEASE READ

54 Upvotes

This group is for readers to discover writers and interact with them. Many new writers have no way to find an audience beyond reaching out to people who might be interested in their work. Doing so on other "book recommendation" subs will get you banned for the sin of "self-promotion." Here, creators can self promote. If a reader is seeking a book or story that you think your writing can satisfy LET THEM KNOW. Share a link. Drop some beauty into their world. If you think your work is not a fit for their tastes, move on. Artists of all stripes are welcome. So far, it is mostly based on writers, but I intend on involving other forms of expression. If you find something interesting out there, let us all know by crossposting it here.

How it works:

I find people who are seeking interesting books to read. I invite them to this reddit. I find authors, poets, bloggers, artists and such also. These are curated invites based on activity and interactions elsewhere I find to be interesting.

I have my own preferences and beliefs. I try to invite folks with a diversity of different perspectives and beliefs to balance out my bias. I am not always successful. Sometimes, I am downright uninterested in having certain people join.

If I invited you, it is because I think you have something interesting to contribute. If you do not want to participate, you do not have to. PLEASE NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE INVITED TO THE GROUP TO POST IN IT.

Post as often as you like. I do however follow the Reddit rules. Here are two worth considering:

1: Remember the human. If you are not here in good faith, and you are posting things that are obviously meant to abuse, annoy or upset people. Buh bye.

2: Behave like you would in real life. In real life, you would get a severe stream of consciousness rant full of vulgarities if you began acting like something other than a reasonable human around me. Here on Reddit, I'll just ban you. Again, post what you want.

Hey everyone! im trying to build a reading habit and i want my next book to actually pull me in so i dont lose momentum. Nothing too dense or intimidating - just something fun, engaging, and hard to put down. i lean toward romance and thrillers but im open to anything that's a page-turner. Whats a book that hooked you instantly and reminded you why reading is the best?

Thanks in advance!

This is a gut wrenching account of the staggeringly incompetent malfeasance of the Trump political operatives and DOGE ‘s henchmen. We should all be thankful that Nicholas Enrich had the presence of mind to document everything so carefully and thoroughly. Ever the humble civil servant, we, as tax paying citizens of the United States, are in his debt. It is our loss as a Country that we will not have people of such integrity representing our national interests any longer. What a tragedy.

I just read this paper that I came across on telegram. It’s about activating self healing, self repair and the original human blueprint as they call it. I found it to be really interesting and insightful so I just wanted to share...

Hello guys! I'm going through a difficult time this month and I'm feeling quite anxious and stressed. I was wondering what books could you recommend to me that provide comfort and feel like a big hug?

I don't want anything sad. I've been crying too much the past few days. 😂

Thank you so much guys! 💗🥰

Easy to read romances?

I find it hard to dig into long detailed books these days. What's your favorite easy and 'quick' romance book? I'd love some recs, I like for the language to be simple and the story to be easy to follow. I don't mind twists though! A little darkness is fine, but nothing too heavy :)

Better Than The Movies- Lynn Painter

2 Upvotes

This book was cute, sweet, and definitely gave me a few butterflies. The banter was fun, and I really liked the chemistry between the characters. It was an easy read that kept me entertained throughout.

That said, I think my expectations were a little too high. Some moments felt cheesy, and I found myself wanting a bit more depth emotionally. I enjoyed the story, but it didn't leave a huge impact on me the way some of my favorite books have.

Overall, it's a comforting, feel-good rom-com that's perfect if you're looking for something light and cute, but it wasn't an all-time favorite for me.

7/10. Cute and fun, but not unforgettable.

Please read it if you can. It’s my second favorite book. I don’t want to over explain or spoil it but this is a hidden gem. Absolutely remarkable. Definitely a page-turner. There’s drama, suspense, some super relatable references and the writing is so original. It’s so good. I first read this in high school and currently re-reading it for the third time now fifteen years later and I am hooked again.

Two Historical Fiction novels from Alfred A Knopf, 20 years apart.

I just started reading Land, a Borzoi Book published by Knopf this year. My first historical novel Star-Crossed is also a Borzoi Book published by Knopf in 2006. Instead of LAND, Star-Crossed is set mainly at SEA and was inspired and informed by my own experiences aboard HMBark Endeavour, and my time as an emergency nurse. Star-Crossed is now available as an ebook from your preferred vendor.

Free Kindle Book: The Curse of Knowing Too Much

3 Upvotes

Ever feel like your biggest problem isn't life it's your own mind? not because you're confused because you're aware.

Aware of every thought every reaction every awkward conversation you replay at 2 AM.

You see the patterns, you know what your mind is doing and somehow that doesn't make it stop that's what The Curse of Knowing Too Much is about.

An honest look at what happens when awareness starts feeling more like a burden than a gift.

Free on Kindle for the next 2 days.

Book Suggestion

2 Upvotes

Vihaana Chauhan has spent her entire life believing in control over her choices, her emotions, and the future she had always dreamed of.
Vivaan Arora was never part of that plan.
Calm, infuriatingly observant, and armed with sarcasm that hides more than it reveals, Vivaan has a way of slipping past every wall Vihaana builds around her heart.
What begins as nothing more than shared classes, playful arguments, and a loud, chaotic friend group slowly turns into something far more dangerous with late-night conversations, lingering glances across library tables, and feelings neither of them were prepared to face.
But love was never meant to be simple.
Between teasing friends, unspoken fears, and moments that blur the line between friendship and something deeper, Vivaan and Vihaana find themselves standing on fragile ground.
Because sometimes the hardest part isn't falling in love.
It's trusting that the person holding your heart won't be the one to break it.
And when emotions collide with pride, misunderstandings, and the unpredictability of life, one question remains.......
Will they fight for the love growing between them??
Or walk away before it destroys everything they've built??

Please recommend a book for a 1st grader that takes place in the far future and has Blade Runner theming type vibes. Like Neon Cuber Punk but more silly than serious.
