"Angels Fall" by Nora Roberts.Before the millennium I've read more than 30 books by Nora Roberts, but didn't care for any of them.
Ever since I've read 3 good novels by her
- Sanctuary
- Angels Fall
- Remember When (it has a SciFi sequel by J. D. Robb which I hated)
The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee, can’t wait for book 2!
The Three Body Problem - I loved it but it's definitely an acquired taste
It was The Bluest Eye. And i surely recommend it.
All the Broken Places by John Boyne. It follows on from The Boy in the Striped pyjamas. So if you have read that one, it focuses on Bruno’s sister Greta and her life after the events in Striped Pyjamas. I would highly recommend it x

I have no problem with the fact you didn't like this book. I happened to love it. Different strokes for different folks. I just have a problem with giving advice to others not to read any book because their opinion may differ from yours. People need to make up their own minds.
I will recommend the last book I read, Camino Winds, by John Grisham. He's a relaxed writer, it's easy to breeze through his novels. I happened to win book #2 here on Goodreads. Before I started reading I acquired book 1 and reserved book 3 at my local library in case I'm not a winner of this month.
The Lies Amongst Us Sarah Beth Durst . A complete mess of a book . Absurd story line and cipher characters . Awful
I just finished "Angels Fall" by Nora Roberts and I can highly recommend it. But the TV movie (available on DVD) is even a bit better.
I finish The little Friend by Donna Tartt the other day, and the only good thing about that was the fact that it ended. Needless to say I do not recommend it if you value time. No hate tho
Invincible Compendium 2. I do recommend it, its really good

No hate tho"I forced myself in the mid 1990's to read Donna Tartt's "Secret History". After page 350 I gave up. What a boring novel! Never ever Donna Tartt again!
The Resort by Sara Ochs - I thought it was a fun mystery read!
Emma by Jane Austen! If you like books from long ago, with distinct, subtle humor, many, many pages, and romantic realistic style I’d recommend it.
Always Only You by Chloe Liese, and yes, def recommend if you like your romance book with some cool representation and a golden retriever mmc❣️
Killers of the flower moon. I absolutely loved reading this book, the historical account of what happened to the native Americans in Oklahoma was pretty despicable. I can't believe the murders were undetected for so long because it was very obvious what was going on. The horrific things people are willing to do for money, status and power are absolutely amazing. Although all these things happened so long ago it still affects that group of people for all their lifelong lives. sad sad sad. I ABSOLUTELY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.
the last book i read was "the monk who sold his ferrarri" for a reading challenge and put it under the title "books i know i'll willingly hate" but to my surprise the book wasn't exactly disappointing. but let me tell you, you'll only like this book if you're all about philosophy and non-fiction and stuff. i gave it a 3/5 stars cause it wasn't exactly good or bad imo
Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera - so, so good!
just finished "the coworker" by Freida McFadden.Did I like it? sure.
Would I recomend it? I don't think so. I saw the end coming
Just finished the Ascendance series and I would definitely recommend it for younger tens like me!
Keeping 13 and yes 100percent (boys of tommen books series)
Dune Messiah & yes it was a good ending to Paul's story!
One of us is back - would def recommend It!
Katey Frost Mystery Series Books 1-5 by Sophie Michaels 5* yes
Queen of shadows - yes, if you are a fantasy lover and don't mind romance being a subplot. 4 star read for me.
The friend scheme by Cale Dietrich, One of the authors of If This Gets Out. Honestly? No, I don't recommend it. If you look for a superficial book, I don't think this is not even the one. hahaha. It is the perfect book for a teenager that's looking for a light reading.
Nora Roberts "The Obsession", actually wouldn't recommend it though I do like Nora Roberts! This books is wayyyyy too cheesy.
I’m half way through The Covenant of Water by Verghese-Beautifully written, characters are wonderful, intertwining of stories. It takes place in India- refreshingly “new” and “different”.
Conclave by Robert Harris. What a wonderful book. The story line was very well paced and extremely interesting. A great deal of "insider" information related to the backroom operations at the Vatican. The ending was a shock to say the least and totally unexpected. A great read!
black knight by rina kent and yes I would recommend it but it's book four in the royal elite series
The Jasad Heir and 100 times yes! The enemies to lovers arc is *chefs kiss*
Fahrenheit 451 was great, but it's definitely a roller coaster of emotions. like you can't catch a break 💀
Yumi and the Nightmare Painter and hell yes!
cinder by Marissa Meyer and 100% yes! her writing is so amazing
echoes by lou vane from the fortune falls series and yes i would but depends if u’re into dystopian books !
Good morning I'll be finishing a good book later today and would like to recommend it to anyone looking for a nice book for their young readers. It's titled PONEY CONFIDENTIAL by Christina Lynch. It's a good clean story about a pony who outlived his purpose. I ejoyed it and plan to read it to several little ones.
Worst Case Scenario by T.J. Newman was fantastic!
agggtm trilogy - i recommend the entire trilogy since it's easy and fun to get into !!
Hunting Adeline. I preferred it to the first one. check triggers
NOPEI did not enjoy Watching You. There's like 500 things going on within 13 chapters.
infinity alchemist, yeah I recommend this book it's great and hilarious
