Recommendations Thread

[Nikki ~ The Nocturnal Bookworm]

Since we all read a wide variety of things and I know a few members have mentioned enjoying giving recommendations I wanted to make a place just for recommendations.

Post here with what you are looking for (genre, plot point, certain types of characters, ect.) and if you see a request you can help with just reply and let the person know the book that would be a perfect match.

You can also post of you finish something that just blew you away and want to share with the group. Authors please no self promotion here.

Anyone in the group have horror reccomendations featuring creepy children?

[Diane]

I'm not really into the horror genre, but I remember years ago being totally creeped out by Stephen King's Pet Sematary. The kid in that book, Gage.../shudder.

Vicious by V.E. Schwab is really good and also kinda creepy.

[Cyn]

Only one I can think of that I have read is Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children but I'm not entirely sure it fits the bill - it's YA horror

It has also been a few years since I've read it and don't remember much other than the creepy photos throughout the book lol

Anyone have any recommendations for sci-fi reads?

[Cyn]

I recommend (the audiobooks are really good too) if you want humor, and

Some recommendations I think you may like:
All Systems Red - Humorous sci-fi novella set in space
The Ear, the Eye and the Arm - YA Sci-fi book set in 2194 in Zimbabwe
Sleeping Giants - first book in a sci-fi series set in modern day on earth. Interesting story telling style.

[Chris]

I’m interested in all three, but especially All Systems Red.

Dune by Frank Herbert, this is probably my favorite Sci-Fi.
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch.

Also: Any further Steampunk recommendations are very welcome! Though that won't help get my TBR under controll...

Haven't read any but after reading the English translations of the summaries I think Aetherhertz and Stadt der verschwundenen Köche sound like the two most interesting :)

Does anyone have anything that fits into the paranormal genre for this month but isn't too creepy and is a quick read? This may be a lot...

Here are three short (less than 200 pages) paranormal romance books:

Marine Biology
Justice Calling
Elemental Arcane

[Valeria]

The Hunting Ground by Cliff McNish was a good light paranormal read...
If you want some romance and bit more fun read Anna dressed in blood duology by Kendare Blake they are really fun!
