Books like Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler
i really loved this book and want something that's similar particularly the part about a young woman coming of age and dealing with loneliness and trying to find love or friendship or freedom or something from her life, perhaps with family that doesn’t quite understand her raging desire for freedom or a life unlike theirs submitted by /u/Few_Enthusiasm1050 [link] [comments]
Book suggestions like Lights Out for a friend who's just getting into reading :)
So my friend has recently gotten into reading, they've never really been engrossed in reading like me, but they read Lights Out by Navessa Allen and enjoyed it and have seemed interested in reading some more, so I thought getting them a reading goodies hamper for their birthday would be a nice encouragement
King Arthur as part of a vampiric dynasty
I was listening to The Rest Is History episode on King Arthur and was intrigued by his undying/changed his life/once and FUTURE King status, and by Morgan Le Fey's necromancy knowledge. It seemed like obvious fodder for a vampire treatment, but a cursory search isn't turning up anything. Am I missing some good stuff? submitted by /u/constantlyknackered [link] [comments]
Looking for books like the show psych and mentalist
I love this genre of crime solving where the consultant is hyper observant and is pretending to be a psychic. Would help if the mc is more like shawn rather than jane, I love the adhd shawn vibe more than the charismatic jane vibe. Especially the friendship shawn and gus have, I love their siblings like friendship where they always banter. submitted by /u/Forsaken_Island_2496 [link] [comments]
I’m looking to reduce my screen time. Please recommend something engaging and fast paced
Genres I like: romance, South Asian chick lit or South Asian lit in general, but anything will do Hi! I am a former child reader who has now become addicted to screens and social media. I’m looking into suggestions for something short and fast paced that I can finish easily submitted by /u/HauntingOil3491 [link] [comments]
Fantasy books with a secretive, low profile mission-oriented MMC
Looking for a mysterious, quiet, powerful MMC that keeps really important secrets for the plot, doesn't really have a personality except to complete his mission, kinda living under a rock? Not showy, tries to keep a low profile. Not as the main narrator, but could switch POVs. Romance as a subplot could be nice, but looking for a heavy fantasy plot. Doesn't have to be exact, anything similar is more than great to me! submitted by /u/pechaoo [link] [comments]
Looking for a book like Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson but more mature
I’ve read a few books in life but it’s hard for me to get into them unless I’m really interested in it. This book I read when I was in like elementary or middle school. I loved it so much that I still remember it and how entertained I was reading it. It was a book that made me go through all the motions too, I feel. So I’m looking for a book that has a similar writing style. And preferably a similar fantasy style submitted by /u/Final-Satisfaction10 [link] [comments]
Apocalypse books with Religious imagery
One of my favorite books of all time is A Canticle For Leibowitz and even though I am not a religious person I still find the Religious imagery in the book to be really interesting. I dont mind the religion being depicted as I am eager to learn about more and see how they influence the story they are in. submitted by /u/GazIsStoney [link] [comments]
Historical fiction novels based on real people/events
I just read The Help, Miss Spitfire, and The Book Thief, which I really enjoyed because of their connections to real history but in a fictional context. What are some other books like these that tell great stories but in a way that doesn’t feel like I’m reading nonfiction? I could never get into nonfiction, biographies, or autobiographies, but for some reason I really like historical fiction. submitted by /u/LauraBarwickArt [link] [comments]
Japan book recommendations
Hi! I’m travelling to Japan soon and as part of my travel souvenirs, I like purchasing a book from the country i visit where the author is also from and ideally the story is also set there. It’s just a fun way to remember where i visited and hopefully discover a new author, culture,etc. Does anyone have any recommendations of English translation books by Japanese authors I can purchase in Tokyo(or Kyoto or Osaka)? Bonus points for a cool bookstore recommendation too. Perhaps something a bit under the radar.
Science Fiction or Fantasy with FMC and strong female friendships
Looking for suggestions of SciFi or Fantasy novels or series featuring a female main character with strong female friendships. Coming to mind is the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews featuring the strong, sassy, and willful Kate and her bestie Andrea. Would love more series or books with similarly competent, interesting, and supportive female friendships. submitted by /u/Wandering-Muse- [link] [comments]
Books like Agatha Christie without the casual racism and misogyny
I liked the Christie books I’ve read but the random slurs and “women are so silly” crashed into my enjoyment like runaway orient express. Im looking for a book with quirky, charming characters, no gore, not too much overt violence. But with fair play to solve the mystery. I’ve tried to read a few cozy mysteries but they often felt like they’re trying too hard to be cozy.
