Hiiii!!! I’m trying to get my attention span up and I’m kind of tired of booktok books, I feel like they’ve all become the same lately so I was just wondering if anyone had more “niche” recommendations
Thank youuuu xx

Sarah hii, I have a few good suggestions:

the distance between me and the cherry tree: I read this when I was 11 so it is a young teenager sort of book, but it's enjoyable at any age really. It's by Paola Peretti, but its not a very well-known book. It's about a 10 year old girl who has Stargadt mist in her eyes, and the story is about her last few months of being able to see.

the just city trilogy

Magnus Chase series

the girl with the louding voice: It's by Abi Dare and its about a girl who wants an education as she is moved from school and sold into marriage

the Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

The compassionate mind by Paul Gilbert: It's a book about communicating with empathy, I used it for a school project but I genuinely enjoyed reading it

hope this helps queen 👑:)


﹒    elis ﹕☆ the daughter of smoke and bone trilogy !! it’s a ya fantasy

you can try out some thrillers too:
Gone Girl
The Coworker
Never Lie
How to kill men and get away with it

other than that, you might try out those world war books:
number the stars
the boy in stripped pajamas
(there are many more. lemme know if you like these)

if you want unhinged recs to switch your brain off:
ironside academy(rh)
RK's monster trilogy, deception trilogy and throne duet

message 26: by Dziyana (new)

Dziyana Taylor If you like handsome ghosts and a love triangle, sort of like Vampire Diaries meets Gone with the Wind, you can try Casting Shadows by Dziyana Taylor. It's trilogy and it blends history with present day.

OMG I LOOOOOVEEEE WARCROSS
FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE THAT HAS READ IT!!! IT NEEDS MORE RECOGNITION (but then again I kind of want to gatekeep that one lolll)


message 29: by Jabotikaba (new)

Jabotikaba Perhaps you would like Chimeras of Estmer? This book has at least two fantasy mystery storylines. In one of them, the protagonist tries to track down the person who killed his former teacher and turned him into a cat. As you can imagine, this proves difficult while in his cat form. The second storyline follows a princess trying to discover who is trying to kill her brother. When the two storylines intersect, things get even better! The book also has three romance subplots.
I would also recommend the Osten Ard books by Tad Williams. They're very good, but there are ten very long fantasy books in total. If you're ready for a whole series, I'd recommend them too.

I agree that Six Crimson Cranes is really good!

Arissu When you're feeling that way. I'd recommend to read a mystery thriller book...probably from goodreads winning or nominees. It definitely satisfies you. Trust me i too feel that sometimes girl
