I loved Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton soooo much, definitely an all-time favourite! The Skulduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy will forever be a favourite also as I grew up on it in my teens. A more recent favourite is All Woven With Ivy by Thea Hawthorne! I need to reread her book & novellas asap.
I also forgot to mention a new big favourite which is Interesting Facts About Space by Emily Austin!
Percy Jackson and the Olympians, as well as any Astrid Lindgren titles!
always always going to be House of Leaves (and fittingly, Infinite Jest is up there too)
Circe by Madeline Miller holds a special place in my heart (a lot of people find it boring though). I think one of my all time favs is A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes. It's my first recommendation to anyone! I love the audiobook on Spotify.
@★ 𝐫𝐱𝐦𝐞𝐨 ★ I enjoyed Circe!! I found The Song of Achilles to be the boring book,,, And I will have to check the other one out!!
@batshybea I also didn't care that much for SoA. But I also just really didn't care for the whole pre-teen/teenage boys having descriptive sex stuff. The "greasy" line gave me the ick. Other than that the book was okay. I will say SoA had the most memorable lines to me. “I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.” Most of my favorite book quotes come from that book. I heard Madeline Miller is working on a Persephone book right now!
Dead poets society is my first classic book and my favorite one! I also love while nights
but I read anything honestly it’s just A classic can be hard to read sometimes
Also other favs are Alice in wonderland & the little prince I also have much more like I love the woven kingdom series + anything by Stephanie garber
My top two favorite ones are Neversuch House and The Name Of The Wind! Ive read both so many times that the books are starting to peel and fall apart 😭 Ive got multiple copies of both too! One original i read, one annotated and one newer one i read and lend to friends! Both are really good and i highly recommend them! Ive already made a blog about neversuch house and was planning on making one for the other eventually but still havent gotten to it lol TwT so if you’re curious abt the plot you could read that!
On january, my sister showed me the saga "All For The Game" by Nora Sakavic. It was life changing. Might sound dramatic, but those books had consume me.
I´m bad at summaries, but it´s about this guy who spent his entire life running away from his father, who is an assassin, with his mom. Then she dies and the principal character, Neil, has to figure out how to survive alone. At the beginning of the first book, Neil is finishing his last year on high school and he suddenly receives an offer of college scholarship on his favorite sport, Exy, but he´s like "I have to move on, or so I´ll get caught by my people´s father" and so on. He ends up on the team and oh boy.
It´s a sports kind of book, uhh like Heated Rivalty, let´s say. The author created the sport, "Exy" it´s like lacrosse mixed with hockey on ice rules, on a football field covered in plexiglass walls. Oh and there´s also the japanese mafia involved in. And I do recommend searching for the TWs because it has sensitive topics.
Yes, it´s an LGBT+ saga. All characters are +18 yo. Three books and then there´s two books of a side character (his final book it´s publishing at the end of the year. the author said they´re going to publish more books of another side character.)
There´s a character named Andrew Minyard who has been living in my head 24/7. I´ve spent nights in my head just analyzing this character, recalling his scenes again and again, just discovering new facts and traits I just LOVE about him. I like psychology (I tried to major in, didn´t work out) so it´s been a full ride loving and getting to know this boy.
Deep sigh. I recommend reading them. xo
@merakii you have absolutely sold me on those books, I will be keeping an eye out for them in store and give them a go! :p
@batshybea oh great!! although i want to warn you, i´ve heard it´s kinda difficult to find them in physical bookstores since the author is self-published and the books are kinda old (2013) and niche, (i personally got them via a web store) soo yup. but i do wish you find them <3 and i insist on checking out the TWs lol, i dont want to trigger anyone. xo
The Immortals Series by Alyson Noël
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
And let's not forget the goat Simon Stålenhag's Electric State series
Percy Jackson (the entire series honestly), Project Hail Mary, and the night circus !!! The night circus is one of the best (if not THE best) fantasy stand alone I’ve ever read ^_^
My favourite novels to read or listen to is anything written by Riley Sager. Literal page turners, I can't put them down.
Having a degree in Literature its hard to narrow it down haha. But here is what comes to mind:
@xXMissParamourXx aaah I have been wanting to read Yesteryear and Frankenstein sooo bad!
I devoured Yesteryear in less than 24 hours. It was so good!
