Audrey (niceyackerman) I’ve read Howl’s Moving Castle. A bit odd.

I recommend White Fang. It's amazing.


message 57: by Audrey (new)

Audrey (niceyackerman) I absolutely love the Stormlight Archive and Riyria. Are you in Michael J Sullivan’s private group?

Kingkiller and Red Rising were pretty good for me. I haven’t started Wheel of Time. I’m kind of afraid of the commitment.


message 58: by Audrey (new)

Audrey (niceyackerman) I’ll submit a request.

It's a very short read and full of fun :)

message 66: by Starr (new)

Starr | 417 comments I recommend The Last Girl by Nick Twist. Amazing psychological thriller. I couldn't put it down


message 67: by Shannara (new)

Shannara (httpwwwshannarareads2com) | 149 comments If you’re looking for straight romance, the Bride Quartet (4 books) is sooo sweet and romantic. If you want YA romance, I thought 96 Words For Love and The Fault in Our Stars we’re both really good.

Audrey (niceyackerman) Sam wrote: “does anyone know any good romance books?”

My favorites are
Bliss, Remembered
Switched
Reflection

I don’t even like romance, so you know they got to be good!

It’s up next after this big beast of a book!


message 70: by Linnie (new)

Linnie (themotherbirdy) I'd recommend Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger! Most of the reviews are good, but I've read some really bad reviews about it-- and just warning you, the bad reviews are ALL wrong.

After which one?
I hope you enjoy it :)


message 72: by Ang (new)

Ang (asnickerdoodle) I recommend the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah Maas. I didn't love the first book in the series but the second and third are SO good--I even got a tattoo based on the book.

message 74: by Aysha (new)

Aysha (callmeai) I recommend The Shadow Queen and The Wish Granter by C.J. Redwine. These are AWESOME fairytale retellings. Especially the first one :)


message 75: by Priyanka (new)

Priyanka Dutta | 10 comments Junglezen Sheru
I recommend the book Junglezen Sheru written by a Monk, teacher and writer.
The story describes ethology.


message 76: by Rabiraj (new)

Rabiraj Banerjee (rabiraj54) | 37 comments I recommend Snow by Orhan Pamuk for the poignant and a beautiful story , One Hundred Years of Solitude for the metaphor and fantastic storytelling , Herzog for the brilliance of the eponymous character and Kafka on The Shore for the brilliant piece of storytelling and the use of surreal and metaphors


message 77: by Harper Nicole (new)

Harper Nicole (harpernicole) I would recommend the Harry Potter series, The Hunger Games, the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull, and The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die by April Henry.

The studio Ghibli film based on the book differs form the novel, but i loved it so much!

This is motivating since I didn't enjoy the movie at all! I'm glad the book is better :)

Oh, alright, so you mean that there's more to the characters but not to the scary part? I just think the start of the movie was terrifying and the rest just fell flat with me. Maybe if the story made more sense (maybe it will in the book). I will read Stephan King (I haven't yet) and I have planned to start with The Shining and then I'll give this a try too :) I hope The Shining is good.

Thank you for the clarification and the detail, Anamarija :)

Susy (susysstories) I was QUITE a bit younger when I read It but I found it truly creepy and scary.

I highly recommend Address Unknown. It's just 40 pages long and we just read it in the Reading Sprint where the link to download it was also provided. It's really awesome, and someone we must read!

@Alanah I'd suggest linking the shelves for convenience. Also, your profile's private :/

I'd recommend:
A Game of Thrones
An Ember in the Ashes

If you like stories about vampires and witches.

Istanbul crimson nights
If you like psychological thrillers with real violence feminist stories and international crime.

How about something like Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan? I also liked Sourdough by the same author. The first is a mystery and the second is a bit mysterious and both have a touch of the supernatural as well as being a bit less than 300 pages. I liked them!
Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore (Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, #1) by Robin Sloan 4.5★ Link to my review of Mr Penumbra

Sourdough by Robin Sloan 4.5★ Link to my review of Sourdough
