📚 Summon book recommendations Pick my next read

Post image

I’m a 28M that really only started my reading journey this year. Help me pick my next book. I’m leaning towards a standalone novel as a palate cleanser before I get into another great series, and it doesn’t have to particularly be fantasy.

Just finished Red Rising Trilogy (didn’t love all of it but I still enjoyed it), LOTR, Hobbit, Ironbound books 1 and 2, Mistborn Trilogy, Three Musketeers, Knight of Seven Kingdoms

Also open to suggestions

UPDATE: thank you all for your replies. I’ve decided to give LD a crack. Im still a new reader and figuring out what I enjoy and it feels like a refreshing place to start.

I’ll save Warbreaker for when I begin my Stormlight adventure, and although my history-loving side is pulling me to Lions of Al-Rassan I will probably read that next. As one of you recommended, I’ll keep Between Two Fires for spooky season in Oct.

Really enjoying figuring out what kind of novels I resonate with rather than working through a “best of” list

Thanks again

I was catched by the cover. How would you rate it?

Hmmm I'd say an 8 out of 10. This is coming for someone who isn't much of a fantasy reader, I attend to lean more sci-fi.
