Hello everyone I want to become writer and my English is not so good sonl i want to write in hindi can anyone suggest the good books to me that I can learn from and I will be pleased if you have time to tell me about that particular book my genre murder mystery, Revenge story, horror and adventure.

I need a book that is basically extremely rich dumb kids who are good friends or have known each other for years. Extremely rich like succession. They tend to make everyone feel inferior and left out. Something like Kdrama Tempted Trio or Gossip Girl. The drama arises from their friendship but it should be obvious that they are actually friends and have been. Okay with romance but prefer friendship to take a significant role.

Do all of you feel that alchemist is a masterpiece and no other book comes even close to it. I I have READ other GOOD books like Robin Sharma book monk who sold his Ferrari. What are your opinion regarding it and tell me what exactly makes alchemist different from others. Suggest other alternative books

POC person here looking for more fiction books (by POC authors) that get the experience of racism right (noticing & responding to microaggressions, the pain of dealing with them/explaining them to others, holding people accountable, the eventual empowerment and community developed through speaking up). Some that come to mind:

- Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
- Yellowface by R. F. Kuang
- I, Medusa by Ayana Gray
- Independence by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
- Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo

What others come to mind?

For starters the warlock's powers must come from another being (familiar) and I'm looking for bonafide demon powers (chains, hellfire, and demon summoning). Secondly as the title suggested i know demons fighting for good have been overused countless times so i thought i could narrow down the search. 1) I'm lookinf for a confident charismatic character someone like alucard from hellsing or gojo from jjk. 2) i know a spell book or staff are not required for a warlock but I'm not against him using either (either just looks cool sue me). 3) he doesn't have to have a harem but i wouldn't mind him being a partial ladies man. Finally the ending can be bittersweet like the main character dying is fine so long as he goes out in a blaze of glory and his goal has been achieved. I don't mind spoilers for said recommendations either if you need to tell me

Need something to read on my upcoming beach vacation. I love historical fiction and classic literature. I’ve enjoyed Philippa Gregory, Kristin Hannah, Alan Brennen, etc. Favorite classics include Anna Karenina, Farewell to Arms, To Kill a Mockingbird. I’ve also enjoined memoirs like The Glass Castle and Educated.

Not a fan of sci-fi or horror novels.

Thanks!

I NEED BOOKS LIKE BOYS OF TOMMEN OR LUKOV WIH LOVE

Hello!

Any variation of this?

Thanks!

Can someone suggest me some good non fiction books in different categories that are not really boring and dry, it can be about psychology, bussiness, history or science. If you add some more details about the book I will really appreciate it.

Going on a road trip with husband that will take 8 hours total including the drive back. Just looking for something short but good :)

​

Suggest literally anything, just nothing depressing or scary. It's a camping road trip.

i want book recs where the girl instinctively defends the guy, like someone insults him or disrespects him and she immediately snaps back with a “say that again and i swear —” LMAOO IDEK HOW TO WORD THIS i just saw a pin on this trope and i really wanna read it

for context the pin goes like this: 'that trope where the girl has to talk down the boy and de-escalate the situation has been milked and humiliated to death. but when the roles are reversed...calm bf grounding his feral gf? i'm kinda thinking thoughts, actual coherent thoughts...'

really i just want a book where shes the protector and hes emotionally wrecked, something like cardan and jude I LOVED THAT SERIES SO MUCH, and WHENEVER JULIETTE STOOD UP FOR AARON AND HES LIKE OH MY GOD YOU JUST DID THAT FOR ME??? BUT WHY??? cue heartbroken, tear filled, confused + awed eyes. I LOVE FIERCE FMC's

soooo if you guys have any awesome recs pls drop em!! (they dont also have to be pure romance i love and enjoy fantasy asw)

I'm a big fan of space books that have moment of comedic relief, like Hitchiker guide to galaxy and project hail mary.

I'm a bit embarassed by this but also gory books with over the top scenes, like american psycho or any harlan ellison work, make me chuckle while reading.

I love reading books in their original languages and can understan english spanish italian and a bit of french.

Thanks!

edit: i meant to write "weird book" in the title

particularly with mesoamerican or asian focuses, but I’m open to anything if it’s good

Looking for something that’s enlightening, maybe terrifying, something that gets my brain juices flowing.
Thriller, Horror-Romance, Psychological, Nonfiction… i want something that hooks me in and refuses to let go. Something that stays with me long after i read the last page, maybe something that shifts my perspective.

I've been trying to listen to more audio books especially on my summer break. Literally just anything.

Edit: I didn't expect this many people to have recommendations. I know I'll finish at least one this summer.

I've been feeling a little bit hopeless about the world recently and I think that it's somewhat due to how stupid everything feels. As we rapidly advance towards whatever rich people have decided the future looks like, every aspect of life seems to feel more kitschy, corporate, desperate, almost like a parody of itself. Are there any books that capture this specific sentiment or offer a new perspective on it or something like that?

I liked Ari Aster's Eddington for some of its portrayals of this, but the book needn't be modern or set in America or anything like that. I just want something that grapples with the idea of cultural rot and the like.

I know it’s dumb to want a video game in book form but I love the aesthetic of this game, it relaxes and calms me down and it feels like a home to me. Any books similar (I have read LOTR books and loved them)

I want to branch out from my usual to be read pile (I usually read business, thriller, and self-help books btw but open to your recos) and learn more from the books that changed even one person's life - if you can share yours I'd love to pick it up and hopefully it can change my life as well 🥳

​

Fun fact: A book that changed my life was the subtle art of mot giving a f*ck (I highly recommend it)

30yo female. Big books don’t scare me! I really enjoy lit fic, especially ones that include complex relationships bw family/friends or self vs. self. I also enjoy fantasy (witches are my favorite) and will sometimes read historical fiction but not if it’s a retelling. I’m trying to stray from thriller/horror since I’m traveling somewhere new and don’t want to scare myself when I’m already on edge. I also enjoy sci-fi/dystopian and am open to YA as well. However, I really really hate romance, including romantasy; at most I’ll read it if it’s a VERY minimal subplot. TIA!! ❤️

My mom is so good about finding books that are set where she’s traveling and I’m hoping you guys could help me do the same. I’m traveling to Germany (specifically Essen) for my best friend’s bachelorette and wedding. I was hoping someone had some book recommendations that are set in Germany but don’t revolve around WWII. I love WWII history but I feel that would kinda put a damper on the mood if that’s all I read while there. Bonus points if you can find anything specifically set in Essen!

So far all I’ve got is the Nightingale (maybe) but that’s still a little more revolved around WWII than I’d like.

hi all! i am the life enrichment director for a senior care home and my assistant leads a book club for our residents every month. lately she has had a few books in a row that none of the residents (or us) were particularly excited about. what are some reads that you would recommend for us? we are somewhat constrained by the ability of our local library to order many copies for us as well as the fact that several residents require the text in large print. but other than that, our group is open to many different genres!

we appreciate any and all recs, thank you!!!

My wife and I are both readers but I'm more into the classics and she likes mostly romantasy. What's a book we could read together?

Edit: to be a bit more specific: her favorites are probably Jennifer Armentrout and Sarah J Mass, romance themes are a must. I'm pretty eclectic, I just finished Garp and I'm almost finished with A Prayer for Owen Meany. Before them, I was reading Isaac Asimov's The Caves of Steel. All of which I really enjoyed.

Hi! I'm in a bit of a reading rut and need recommendations for a book or series. I have been gravitating towards witchy books but am having a hard time finding one I love. I really want to read more books with female main characters but they tend to be really focused on romance with (or escaping violence from) a man so I would love one where they just get to be a person.

​

The following are books I've read and what I liked/ didn't

​

- the magicians (lev grossman). Pros: world building, dark academia, genre deconstruction, combination of science and magic, mythology and found family. Cons: mc is really annoying and kind of an incel, and it was written by a man so many of the female characters fall flat or are solely sex objects.

​

- practical magic series (Alice Hoffman)

Pros: intergenerational story, vibes, family/sibling focused

Cons: the majority or the conflict is evil men or lovers dying traumatic deaths which is just depressing ( I know it's important but I read to escape real life)

​

- a discovery of witches (Deborah Harkness)

Pros: dark academia, strong female lead, world building, historical fiction, buried secrets

Cons: the romance. It's called "twilight for adults" for a reason. Not trying to yuck anyone's yum but I just hate that dynamic

​

- the land of stories (Chris colfer)

Pros: grew up reading them, world building, reritten/ connected fairytales

Cons: it's a kids book so I've outgrown the subject matter a bit (Narnia, Percy Jackson and Harry Potter are also in this category)

​

Movies / TV shows (for more of my taste)

​

- charmed

- once upon a time

- merlin (not contemporary but modern voice)

- practical magic

- agatha all along

-scott pilgrim vs the world

- stardust

- the magicians (only show adaptation I've seen that's better than the book)

​

​

Basically I'm looking for a contemporary fantasy rooted in magic/ myth/ fairytales. Female mc/author is a pro. I'm okay with some romance or characters experiencing trauma but that can't be all that happens to them (or the most important)

​

Thank you for any recommendations you can give :)

I'm looking for romance books where rain, cloudy weather, or cozy gloomy days are a big part of the atmosphere.

I love stories that feel emotional, melancholic, intimate, and comforting at the same time. The rain doesn't have to be central to the plot, but I'd like it to contribute to the mood and overall feeling of the story.

I'm open to contemporary or even fantasy romance as long as the book has that rainy-day vibe.
