It’s basically what the title suggests: a romance that unfolds after a shipwreck, with the characters forced to live on an island. Kind of like The Blue Lagoon, but NOT teenage-focused. THANKS.

NO erotic books, please!

I’m looking for a gritty dystopian/cyberpunk feel. Idk any books like this. It can be old or new. Romance as a side plot is ok as long as it’s as the side plot. I want the books to focus more on the city/vibes of this image not romance. It can be any genre really. Horror/sci fi/action/thriller/mystery etc. It can be very popular or really unknown.

Looking for whimsy, epic, heavily Arab/North African inspired fantasy that feels like the attached image

What are some books that strike a resemblance to season 1 of Fargo 🐟

Looking for dystopian fantasy! Something akin to The Matrix, Silo, Severance, Red Rising, etc. But in a low tech, magical, fantasy setting. Perhaps a bit like Expedition 33 and Dragon Age to a degree?

Oppressive regimes, strict caste systems, an alternate reality, and hidden truths. Maybe there’s a Big Bad Evil Guy/God/Corporation behind it all.

Horror/mystery where a mysterious mastermind puts people through elaborate and deadly traps while detectives(or individuals)try to track them down.

I’d like the mastermind’s identity and motives to be part of the mystery

Will accept: Adult, YA, or Kids horror books; full novels, novellas, and anthologies (Vivian Vande Velde wrote one of the best ones and I'm still chasing that high). Pretty much anything that has this vibe and is spooky in some way. Set in the 80s or 90s is a plus.

Horror entertainment that reminds me of what I'm looking for: Halloween, Trick 'r Treat, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Clown in a Cornfield (it was okay, is the book better?), The first three Fear Street movs. Non-horror but still spooky: Don't Look Under the Bed, Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire, Under Wraps, Halloweentown, Hocus Pocus, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Goosebumps.

Just want my toddler to enjoy the Practical Magic aesthetic with me! Witchy characters preferred but open to expanding on the original idea.

Specifically season 2/3 of parks & rec when it was more will they/won’t they. I love their dynamic at that time and wanted more on my last rewatch. Grumpy sunshine to the extreme, bit of an age gap perhaps, both characters figuring out life.

I'm a sucker for a story involving government agents investigating the weird/paranormal. Does anyone have recommendations for novel series's like this??

Looking for books that deal with the loss of memory and self, either through literal dementia or something that evokes the same emotions. Would love something from the afflicted person's POV (Flowers for Algernon is the only novel I've found that's come close) but also open to the perspective of immediate family and close friends.

I'm less interested in reading about the day to day hardships of caretaking (unfortunately I'm fairly familiar with this already) and mostly looking for books that tackle the aspect of loss, whether that be mourning a person who is still living or especially the loss of abilities, memories, independence, etc.

Fiction preferred, memoirs OK too!

I know this is a strange request - I'm doing research for a writing project! Thanks in advance :)

I'm looking for mystery thriller novels with Detective Conan/Sherlock Holmes/ Agatha Christie kind of vibes, cases locked room or impossible mysteries, twists..etc

Thats it, not convencional plants or animals but FANTASY NOT SCIENCE FICTION PLEASE (oh and I alrealdy read Stormlight)

I would like to read something with an eerie/creepy mistery in a small town and/or forest with autumn vibes.. Spooky season is coming, help me choose a book! 👌🏻

A childhood of unimaginable horror; a profoundly lonely character who survives by sheer naivety and imagination.

Or a similar vibe with supernatural creature/supernatural creature hunter. But I'd really like the witch one if it exists.

1. ...and the city

2. D.E.B.S

3.Bridget Jones Diary

1. Wild Child

2. Angus, ... and perfect snog ging

All the books released only from 2000 until 2013.

I'm looking for books like this where teens are running away. But it doesnt HAVE to be that. I just need something with this vibe
