My daughter is an avid reader, and I’m looking for some recommendations for her. I’m hoping y’all can help!...

Filterable recommendations in different filterable categories, by NPR staff and “trusted critics”....

I’m a massive fan of Dystopian Fiction and have read several classics in the genre, but I recently heard about “It Can’t Happen Here” and it sounded exactly like a novel I’ve always wanted to read, but never knew it existed. After having read a bit of it so far, and am curious how this book is not more prominent in...

There was a hilarious short piece I read on Kindle or something and it was a short piece where the protagonist gets in with a self-improvement guy who ends up making him foot all the bills incurred while he is rolling with him....

i do legitimately think i will enjoy each and it’ll enrich my life though, so...

I hope this is allowed here, if not, feel free to remove my post, mods...

Edit: Picked up “A Canticle for Leibowitz” for him - if you know a good book he might enjoy though, feel free to leave a comment as I’ll either pass a list along to him, or use the list for future gifts to him. And thanks everyone for the great recommendations!...

I am reading The House at Sea’s End by Elly Griffiths. A Ruth Galloway mystery. It was supposed to be a quick read, but got busy with some stuff, so going slowly....

Like the title says, I’m trying to remember the name of a book or short story I heard of in a podcast once....

“I do not need another copy of Blake, I do not NEED another copy of Blake, I do NOT need… Illustrations sure are nice though…”

Just finished The Empire of Gold by S. A. Chakraborty, the final book in The Daevabad Trilogy. I loved the series, a couple more series like this, and I would’ve to add Chakraborty to my favourite authors list....

Some tidbits:...

I am loving this so much, there aren’t words. But I’ll try. I’m such a fan, my heart is trying to burst out of my chest at the thought of this book. When I found, HE VOICES HIS AUDIOBOOK! That had to be the way to read this book, the first time. He does not disappoint, he pulls you into his world with the same talent he...

Finished The Kingdom of Copper by S. A. Chakraborty, the 2nd book in The Daevabad Trilogy....

Concepts like freedom, anarchy, and dystopia, etc have been expounded in numerous non-fiction scholarly and popular works. I read some and understood most of them....

I finished Death Masks by Jim Butcher, 5th book in the series. This is probably the best book in the series yet, pretty much no dull moment. And I have heard it just keeps getting better from here, so looking forward to that!...

I really love beautiful books and collecting them. I have a few of those classic hard bound books from Barnes & Noble and some of the imitation leathers from Discount Books, but I see the Folio Society and am shocked at the price....

Finished Chloe Marr by A. A. Milne. I liked the book, but it's very much product of it's time, the way men and women act. Also, if you can get the literary and pop-culture (of that time) references, you'll enjoy it a lot more. As it is, even though I enjoyed reading it, when I wasn't reading it, I didn't feel too much like...

Some summary:...

Not much from my side. I am still reading Chloe Marr by A. A. Milne. It's an interesting book, even though I am missing every "pop reference" of plays etc. Someone who get those references would probably enjoy it a lot more....

It's the new urban fantasy series by Benedi Jacka, author of Alex Verus urban fantasy series....
