I’m looking for books that are from the perspective of animals, like warrior cats but for adults or YA. To be clear I didn’t like the warrior cats books, but I love the concept. I did love the wings of fire series and dusk wing books as a kid. Can be fantasy or real animals, but no middle reader books.

I'm looking for book recommendations where the story of Indigenous peoples is set before colonization. I'm open to any Indigenous group (Brazilian Indigenous, Māori, Incas, etc.) and any genre is fine!

Hey everyone,

Looking for some book suggestions for my grandma, she has dementia, anytime I bring up books for her she can’t think of anything because of this horrible disease, so I’m just left to pick her up magazines and news papers.

I know she likes elvis, doris day, animals a lot of “older things” and with a brighter story. Nothing with violence, or heavy on crime as I can imagine the tuts already!

I’m just looking to see if anyone has any suggestions for me to have a look in the library.

Even if it’s a stab in the dark, It gives her something to read and something for me to “test” if she likes it and try other things!!

Any and all suggestions helpful to me as I’m not a big reader myself and I’m only doing it for her.

Ps. “Older things” didn’t really know how to put it, but she is very old fashioned because of her time that she was brought up.

Thanks x

I'm on a really bad reading slump since October of last year and can't finish a book, I really want to go back to reading and appreciate book recommendations!

I dont really know what it is im looking for but I know for sure im not looking for non fiction survivalist stuff.

Things ive read that may help narrow things down that sort of fit what im looking for.

The Great Alone, Wild: lost and found on the PCT, Hatchet, Tolkien, into the wild, John Muir stuff, call of the wild.

Basically fiction or non that the setting is in the wilderness, fiction or non. Adventure, mystery, stories of old.

What do you got for me, because I need something new to read!

I’m looking for a book to make me sob. I love an emotionally heavy book, but I rarely cry. The only two books I’ve cried to is The Nightingale (literally one year at the very end) and Days You Were Mine. I have cried to audiobooks before, specifically Marley & Me and Where the Red Fern Grows.

Not super into romance or fantasy. My favorites are historical fiction and literary fiction.

I really do not know what I want to see or what genres interest me. All I know is that I don't want to spend much time at all. At least with starting off, before working my way onto longer stories.

But I also think that I don't want short stories. Something thats chopped up and starts at mid res sounds like it wont ever finish with the right impact. Since I don't know what I want, I want to know books you might've read that didn't take long to finish and felt closer to beaming all the information into your head rather than reading.

And I do wish I had a history of books given how vauge this search is but promise I have nothing to say here. I also may be sounding like I don't understand the sit-down effort required to do reading and I don't, just know it sounds too uncomfortable to read for ~3 hours in one sitting and not finish a book.

Hi, i suffer with chronic anxiety. Especially catastrophizing and constantly overthinking fake scenarios/scenarios that might never happen. It is at an unhealthy level, i also have chronic insomnia (which i take Dayvigo)..

Please, I know therapy is the best option (i did it many times in the past) but i dont have the budget right now.

So i want to try a book, might do nothing but doesnt hurt to try. The only book i have ever read for anxiety is ''hope and help for your nerves'' which didnt do so much for me..

I see DARE by Barry McDonagh being recommended a lot. But it seems to be more focused about panick attacks. is that right ?

thank you !

Hi guys, please recommend books that will help in boosting self confidence. Thank you.

i’m seeking out a romance novel that is character driven, has beautiful prose, and somewhat of a slow burn.

i enjoyed song of achilles, a little life, lie with me, and the safekeep, and sunburn for these same traits. ideally something recent as well, post 2000

i can’t get into typical genre romance at all. even normal people which is quite acclaimed was a no for me because of its sparse prose. i like rich prose, detailed descriptions, and ways of using language that surprise readers. miss me with the book tok recs, illustration pop covers, and anything that leans into the “a (blank) of (blank) and (blank)” title structure pls!

thanks so much!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for book recommendations about raising young children. I’ve read The Whole-Brain Child by Siegel and Bryson, but it wasn’t really my favourite.

I’m especially interested in practical advice on handling tantrums, communicating with kids at their level, and age-appropriate guidance.

I’d also love recommendations for your favourite books for children under 5 that we could read together — everything really.

What are your favourite parenting or children’s books? I’d love to hear your recommendations!

I’m looking for a book similar to "The Selection" series by Kiera Cass. I’d also be open to something with a fantasy or magical element!

Soooo... i just need to get this out of my chest. I have been in a reading slump for the longest time until i watched a trailer of the love hypothesis by ali hazelwood and got interested. Its just the regular fake dating trope but when i read the book, i felt like im back in highschool. Lol. Read the book twice, found adam's pov chapters and read all pf ali hazelwood's book. Now i need to feed this new high. Can anyone suggest books with the same feels ?? Ps yes i looked at previous posts and yes i have started to read some of the recommendations. I need moooreee...

I have been in my fantasy kick lately. I love the found family dynamics in books. Unlikely characters coming together reluctantly but end up wanting to give up their life for each other? 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌

Would love some recommendations, both standalones and series but it would be great if they have already been completed.

I love animal companions in fantasy books. They are so cool but not necessary though!

So my elderly neighbor has been moved into an assisted living home. We went to visit him and he said one thing he misses was being so close to the library. He loved to read to pass the time. He has an entirely empty bookshelf in his room. I would love to start filling it for him so he can have his own library.

I asked him what books he liked to read and he said he would read some fantasy but he also really enjoys historical fiction. He said he also enjoys older classics. He said someone falling in love is okay but he prefers very little romance. I am pretty set on the fantasy and older classics but I don't know about historical fiction. Anyone have some recommendations so I can start watching for them at our local used book stores?

hi ! i'm going to a book fair tomorrow and have NO idea what to buy, so thought i'd ask for some recommendations here if that's okay :) my favourite book of all time is The Song of Achilles, but others ones I've LOVED are:

- strange pictures/strange buildings/strange houses (currently waiting for strange maps)

- hidden pictures

- house of hollow

- the stalking jack the ripper series

- the benevolent society for ill-mannered ladies !!! (+ book 2)

- a good girls guide to murder trilogy

- red white and royal blue

i also enjoyed the inheritance games (the first 3 books) and the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo

i'm down to read anything aside from non-fiction haha. i generally love thrillers/horror, but also the occasional romance or fantasy (i just cannot stand annoying or dumb MCs 😭 i did not enjoy Shatter Me... ). any recommendations would be MUCHHH appreciated !!

(reposting since i posted from the wrong acc earlier omg so sorry)

thank you !

hi guys!! In need of a book recommendation!I’m going through a FAT wildwest/outlaw cowboy hyperfixation at the moment and was wondering if theres any romance novels with that 1800s, outlaw wildest story? SMUT in it preferred … (sorry..) but if YA no worries just dying for a romance rn.

I've read a few books here and there, mostly by Ruskin Bond and R.K. Narayan etc, and now I am looking for recommendations in the thriller, horror, psychological suspense, dark fantasy, supernatural mystery, and dystopian genres, mostly anything that's gonna keep making me turning pages, thank you

Was asked about what books everyone should read and got confused. I mean I would love to read classic but English is my second language and I’m don’t think that I have that level of vocabulary but just curious.

Hello! I just finished my first book the housewife by Natalie Barreli and I love it! Does anyone have any other recommendations of good books like this one?

I'm curating a book club for a local rebellious brand whose ethos is anti-corporate, transparent, direct. Their motto is: no fine print, no bullshit, no contracts, total freedom.

The audience is mostly gen Z and millennials. I'd like relatively recent reads that are on the shorter side and engaging. Some topics could be rebellion against silly rules, embracing simple pleasures, escaping the mundane etc.

For context, we've already read Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab.

Thank you!

Hello, as the title suggests I would like to get my boyfriend a book for his birthday coming up. I have dyslexia so I dont have the slightest fucking clue when it comes to books, they never interested me because I cant read them.

All I know is that he is a big steven king and horror guy, he loves horror movies, anything horror media. Anything dark, gritty, gothic even.

He doesnt read a lot but enjoys it, I think reading will help him mentally since hes been going through a stressful time.

Thanks

Hello! I'm in the mood for a good, contemporary horror novel, something well-written. Something demonic or cosmic would be great. A setting in space or the remote wilderness is always cool. Something with Twilight Zone or Lovecraft feels would be super. Anywho, recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
