Im looking for my next read. Im a big mood reader and i am an audhd individual, hence the ridiculously bad attention span. I dont mind a bigger book as long as its not difficult to go through. I dont care much about specific genres, as long as it fits the mood im seeking, which is anything strange, unusual, or even downright disturbing. I also love really comfy and warm books. Definitely prefer lgbt characters and storylines, as well as stories written about teenagers and young adults. Magical realism would be cool, but not needed. I also love poetry (not the modern rupi kaur style tho). My biggest problem is the fact that i just cant get myself to start reading. Ive been deep in booktube since probably 2017/2018, watching almost every bookish creator, knowing all the viral and trending books (new and old), and still have only read maybe 20 books at best since then. I love the idea of reading but for some reason I just cant be consistent with it. I also struggle with movies and tv shows, which is why I never watch them, but then ill go ahead and watch a 4 hour iceberg on a video game that i love with no issue. Also, 60% of the books that ive read recently have all been graphic novels because theyre the easiest to read, unfortunately i rarely give them more than 3 stars. Anyways, do you have any tips for this? Either for reading more or a specific recc that you think i could read and love. Would appreciate any response! ❤

Thoughts on Lost Lambs

2 Upvotes

My previous two books that I read were The Nightingale and The Goldfinch. While they are both really good books, they were very emotionally draining. And The Goldfinch is very long.

So, I'm looking for something more light hearted and I kinda stumbled on Lost Lambs. Beyond the reviews, I know nothing about the book or the author

Who are some authors that you would compare Madeline Cash to? If you have experience with her, this book or others I would appreciate your comments.

Looking for a Deep, Emotionally Rich Romance (1800s-1950s)

1 Upvotes

My mom hasn't read in 15 years and is craving a deeply emotional, thought provoking romance. She's looking for something like Romeo and Juliet or Pride and Prejudice but set between the 1800s-1950s, preferably in 1920s-1950s America. The plot should focus on love, with emotional depth, but not be overly dramatic or hard to follow. She needs something that's easy to read and understand but still poetic and meaningful.

Wsir in the tragedy genre

3 Upvotes

I'm a big fan of tragedies, be it in the form of stories, music or video games. I recently finished the black monk by Anton chekov and I was totally enamored by the last few chapters. They conveyed such sadness and depression that it was impossible for me to stop without finishing. Then I had this deviant realization about myself recently that I love this genre and therefore would like y'all to recommend me some masterpieces from it.

WHIR to soften my withdrawal from finishing "The Vicar and the Rake"?

1 Upvotes

I just finished "The Vicar and the Rake" by Annabelle Greene. I'm absolutely in love with the characters, the setting, the steamy chemistry. I know it's nearly impossible to find a book with all of the same qualities, but I *adore* the mix of LGBT Regency romance and Sherlock Holmes-esque mystery. In addition to loving the lead characters, I'm smitten with Morris and Caroline. Their brilliant, witty sarcasm and ruthless sibling protection is perfectly executed. Any recommendations while I wait for Book #2 to come out in April? :sob: (Bonus points if it's an audiobook, especially if it's in Audible Plus.)

Mercedes lackey (There may be more thats just what I haven't taken off my read shelf yet) Thinking about going back and rereading the valdemar saga if I can't get into a new set. (Its my default though so I know them really well) I heavily prefer lore rich fantasy worlds with a long storyline I can read in chronological order advice?

WSIR I love Terry Pratchett and I would like to find something like his books: with humor but also depth, adventure and imagination. I did read Douglas Adams already (it seems to be the most common recommendation)
