10 books i want to read this spring 🌷

[@theallisonmawnster]

If you haven't read Six of Crows, cannot recommend enough. Heist/adventure vibes. I absolutely devoured it in less than two days. One of my all-time faves

[@isabellesdream]

Yess!!!

[@thetastiestjam]

I was just gonna comment about SOC

[@lisak8492]

Man.. I picked it up 3 years ago and DNF’d at 100 pages, not because I didn’t like it but because something tragic happened in my life and I stopped reading for like a year I wanna try and pick it up again but I don’t wanna start over ugh idk

[@humblebookreader]

Do you have to read the shadow and bone series beforehand? A few ppl I know said to but I don't know if I can read a series that's 5 books long...

[@apos921]

@@humblebookreader you only have to read shadow and bone beforehand if you care about spoilers, but honestly if you just want a great story with a diverse cast, you can absolutely pick up SOC and be fine without reading SAB 😊

[@stephyjohnson2829]

Dark matter by Blake crouch reads like a movie and is a fun sci fi mystery thriller that’s easy to follow. I’m listening on audible and the narration is phenomenal

[@kristen7623]

I’m obsessed with this one

[@thegenresin]

OMG the best book! I was hooked from the first line itself

[@lexidufour2527]

I came here to recommend this one.! I started the book and finished it within the night. It’s not one you can put down.

[@mikayladempsey7157]

Hard agree the audio book had me totally engrossed I remember circling the block over and over just listening to it

[@astevens1919]

Yes Blake Crouch is soooo good!

[@Readbyrobyn]

If you haven't read it - the starless sea is multiple adventures for a big adventure ❤️

[@NoelleGallagher]

1000000% on my list!!

[@lindsey1412]

I came here to comment this! The starless sea is one of my fave books

[@Readbyrobyn]

@@NoelleGallagher IVe read both the night circus and the starless sea and fell in love with Erin Morgansterns writing!! But soon as you said adventure i just thought of the starless sea! - its fantasy with a hint of romance

[@ChristianRumi]

@@NoelleGallagher I say this is one to recommend if you are just looking for the atmosphere of the adventure itself, not a destination, which is why a lot of ppl were disappointed by this one. If you like the meandering side quests without there being much point in them, then go for it. This one was just straight vibes but I needed more out of it myself.

[@rachaelhofford1680]

I personally hated the starless sea :-( I found it so aimless and prose-y for no reason

[@novpriory6624]

Seven deaths of Evelyn hardcastle was a seriously gripping combination of adventure and mystery for me, definitely couldn’t put it down!

[@jules.mp3]

The Poppy War Trilogy for sure. Also, The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee. Both absolutely epic series that are impossible to put down with characters whose lives you get so wrapped up in.

[@jo34rocket]

Yes! Love this

[@francescakyanda9182]

Second this!

[@__sasha__1561]

This is how you lose the time war is incredible. Don’t get discouraged if you are confused in the beginning, the end has the most payoff I’ve ever seen in a book. Made me sob.

[@eeveesyrup]

Yes, came to the comments to mention this and that it's not necessarily romance like you'd think of it and the prose makes it take longer to read, or maybe that was just my experience of it. So it took me the same amount of time to read as a book twice as long. I did not regret this time though as it was one of my favorites of 2022.

[@DexterDebauchery]

It moved into my top three books of all time as soon as I cracked it open.

[@ashleyrinker4374]

This is good to hear because I loved the idea of it, but I started it and was immediately so confused. I’ll give it another go.

[@jackiebrett]

Agreed! After reading this, it became one of my favorite books of all time. Some get confused in the beginning, but it unravels itself page by page. The prose is beautiful and is 110% worth the payoff. So much uncovered in a short book, and also made me uncontrollably ugly cry.

[@hannahharris586]

warbreaker by brandy sandy 😭 so adventurous, heart warming, and un-put-downable. I’ve never claimed to be a fantasy girly, but this was a buddy read and i’m in LOVE. it’s a big boy, but super accessible and fun.

[@kristen7623]

My favvvveeee!!!!

[@haleybordelon-f8g]

The poppy war series is a new absolute favorite of mine. The first book is so gripping because omg the pacing is the best!

[@matteahayn]

as a fellow former swimmer and mermaid girlie, Chlorine sounds SO GOOD! I definitely need to check it out!

[@bthomp6694]

I started reading Luster because of your video and OMG IT IS SO GOOD!! I’m just over halfway through and the writing is insane. So, so good!!! Thank you for recommending! I’ve never heard of it otherwise.

[@cme_epicness]

I loved Ariadne! It’s a Greek mythology retelling of Theseus & the Minotaur but from Ariadne’s perspective (the Minotaur’s sister who helped Theseus escape the labyrinth!) it’s full of adventure with amazing settings, making it a fun way to learn Greek mythology. Highly recommended!

[@bibliofille_soph]

I definitely suggest The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin! I was absolutely enthralled by the series, not to mention her writing is great and for a fantasy series it’s also great for “literature people” because there’s a ton to unpack and great themes. But you can also just get lost in the world and enjoy the books at the same time. She also won the Hugo Award for each of the three books in the trilogy (which I believe has never been done before).

[@palkilmer]

Y E S. I was endlessly engrossed!

[@kristen7623]

LOVE

[@kayjmal]

Yes! Was making sure no one else recommended it before recommending it myself. My absolute favorite books of all time. Love them!

[@nkfanning]

I was going to suggest this as well! I’m looking forward to reading her duology The City We Became

[@julianaollis]

I am the messenger by Marcus Zuzak is my favorite book of all time! It could be considered about an adventure with tasks the main character has to achieve! The premise of the book is literally about caring about people it's so good.

[@natalialopez8871]

Deacon King Kong was a hilarious and heartwarming adventure, def recommend!

[@marialara2490]

omg Noelle I know it's a long book but THE WAY OF KINGS!!! adventure + intrigue + betrayal + complex characters that you'll love and care about. It's soooo worth it you should give it a try!!

[@brig9092]

DAUGHTER OF THE MOON GODDESS! A fantastical duology that’s a great mix of magic, adventure, family dynamics, and romance!! Fav new books of the year for sure

[@kelliehall6582]

Having a truly bummer morning (state of the US + sick family) and seeing you had a new video really brightened my day! Thanks a million! Maybe not the greatest adventure recommendation because I wouldn't exactly call it a page turner but you might try Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami. I don't know if I've seen you read much Murakami and this one is my favorite. My other recommendations would be to try out mysteries. I really enjoy all of Anthony Horowitz's books and they are all pretty light. I like the Magpie Murders the best. For more psychological mystery, In the Woods by Tana French is gripping and haunting, as is almost all of her Dublin detectives series. The Likeness and Broken Harbor were also very haunting. I also just finished Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, which was very gripping but I will admit that I hated it due to a plot twist that happens 3/4s in but hey it was very readable and fast, even for a slow reader like me. Thanks again for being a bright spot in my crummy day!

[@katiebryan5143]

Book that I couldn’t put down recently was Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. It was so beautiful and the familial relationships explored were so well done. It was definitely an adventure!

[@NoelleGallagher]

this is so good to hear because i already own it!! will start asap!

[@dragonboops]

Absolutely! Same experience here, and also the audiobook is amazing too. Great exploration of womanhood, SIBLING RELATIONSHIPS, good intentions vs road to hell, wilderness outside vs inside humans, and just the sacrifices we make to protect those we love and the truth we believe in. Very visceral storytelling and world descriptions. Also, Scottish Highlands 😍

[@AlyssaL731]

That book was INCREDIBLE

[@nataliebessette3774]

Yes, this book is incredible! Loved it so much

[@JodieTheReader]

Someday Maybe was such an emotional and well-written book. As someone who was going through immense grief at the time, this book was very comforting.

[@hunterweicht5458]

Noelle I love and admire how you know your reading taste so well and your channel is always a breath of fresh air with books I have never seen before! I recently read The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd and this book was unputdownable! It involves maps, a little bit of a fantasy element, adventure, family (real family and found family), museums, and the cover is stunning! Enjoy your spring reads!! 💜

[@sahoripacheco]

The one from Mariana Enríquez is THE BOOK. Hope you enjoy it. She is one of my favorite Argentine writers. ❤‍🔥

[@kellyreadingbooks]

My adventurous recommendation would be Eat Pray Love if you’ve never read it. It’s such a fantastic book about societal expectations of women and I know you enjoy messy relationships/marriage in trouble and this has several relationships involved with self discovery and a lot of adventure. I always recommend this backlist title and it reads almost like fiction though it’s a memoir

[@gumplex101]

I’ve seen some others say Six of Crows and that’s immediately what I thought of when you said adventure!!! It’s technically YA (fantasy) but I think people of many ages would enjoy it. The world feels so extremely vivid, I genuinely could not put it down

[@Misshayjay1]

I would love to see you read A Court of Thorns and Roses! I think it would make such a fun book or series to vlog as well.

[@Moonchildarts]

I think the daevabad trilogy would be perfect for adventure! The setting is amazing and the politics are gripping!

[@riddhiroy5345]

I read 'Luster' and 'Cleopatra and Frankenstein' and both are wonderful pieces of literature. The latter made me write down quotes because they were mind-blowing in its true sense.

[@aden.e]

our share of night is easily my favorite book of the year and simply one of my favorite books of all time! the audiobooks is PHENOMENAL

[@chaptersofkat]

cursed bunny is definitely SOMETHING. wow that book, those stories, the way it begins even- i read it a while ago and i haven’t stopped thinking about it, incredible storytelling and writing

[@sharwonton]

Dark Matter had such a hold on me - similar to how I felt reading Project Hail Mary(besides the science parts). If you loved Everything Everywhere All at Once, it’s a must read!

[@NoelleGallagher]

you have sold me -- absolutely going to read this one!

[@kristen7623]

@@NoelleGallagher Girl it’s mind blowing!!!!

[@tiffanymoton704]

i just finished cleopatra and frankenstein and it is very different from conversations with friends. there is so much going on, and it just spirals and spirals. so good

[@sailorjkook]

As you said any genre, I hope you won't mind me suggesting some Middle Grade, it's always helped me out of slumps as they are quick, fun and adventurous reads! The Train to Impossible Places by P.G. Bell is super cute, about a girl named Suzy who is very smart, but her logical brain can't seem to figure out how a set of train tracks appeared in her front room, she jumps onto the train to find out and that starts off a whole adventure! Also, Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend, about Morrigan who thinks she's horribly unlucky until a man named Jupiter North shows up on her eleventh birthday and saves her life by taking her to a completely different world called Nevermoor! I really enjoyed both of these books and I hope they help! :)

[@av-vw2ts]

I am obsessed with The Expanse series by James S A Corey!! The storyline is so gripping and fast paced I blew through the first one and am having the same experience with the second! I wouldnt normally think of myself as hugely into scifi but this one is truly fantastic

[@samanthaengel1639]

I came here to recommend this too! I just finished the first book last night and LOVED it!

[@alyssabarroga6518]

I was going to recommend this too! Currently at the fourth book, I sped through the first three for the past month and loved them!

[@mckyla_reads]

My rec is Nettle & Bone by T Kingfisher! It's short, they're saving the MC's sister and the kingdom, and the humor is dark. Also, there's a cute found family. What's not to love?

[@libraryzacharycash]

read Mrs. Benson's Beetle!!! could not recommend this enough. its all about friendship and adventure set in new caldonia!!!! one of my favorites and SO MOVING. might look a little kid-oriented but TRUST ME it's not and it's amazing.

[@taylortorres7717]

when i was in middle school my absolute favorite book was the tail of emily windsnap. it’s about a girl who discovers that she’s a mermaid and follows her struggling with keeping her secret as a member of the school swim team and simultaneously exploring life under the sea !! if you ever had an inkling to read ya i absolutely recommend :))

[@illchangemyusernamewhenith9130]

Omg I remember the book set I had of Emily Windsnap came with a little shell necklace in it that I was obsesssssed with. I might still have it even 🤔

[@sarreptitious]

I LOVED the Emily Windsnap books!!! I totally forgot about them thanks for unlocking that memory

[@rez0nk]

Cleopatra & Frankenstein was a very good read. I have a feeling you'll love it. Sometimes it feels like its trying too much but its written very beautifully and you can forgive those few times and sweep them under the carpet

[@leafy56455]

Heartless by Marissa Meyer!! It’s a story about how the Queen of Hearts became evil. I read it in highschool and I am still thinking about the ending 5 years later 😊

[@ga75]

i just want to say that i have been reading muuuch muccch more and i have been watching your vids to motivate me so thank u noelle. ur good energy is contagious

[@tonka978]

man, i love watching your videos but you make me so excited the way you talk about books that halfway through i just pause your video and start reading :')

[@twoyoungroses]

i recently read the girl who fell beneath the sea by axie oh, and i'm not usually a fantasy kinda person but i thought the vibes were just so beautiful !! it's YA so super easy to read and i ended up reading it in a day, and there's elements of korean mythology which was really interesting to read

[@Daniee876]

Miss Benson’s Beetle is a lovely cozy adventure book. Highly recommend!

[@heather_vee_reads]

I absolutely loved Luster - so bingeable and the writing is magnificent!

[@bthomp6694]

This one sounded soooo good when she described it so I was looking for comments to see what others thought. YAY! Adding to tbr 😆😆

[@haleych536]

cozy fantasy might be a good genre, to not go too hardcore epic fantasy but to just get that lil bit of adventure! i really liked legends and lattes and tress of the emerald sea

[@tonyamariexo]

For high-action fun - Blake Crouch is my go-to as his work is always super fast-paced. I liked Recursion best but Upgrade (his latest release) was also great. He's known for the sci-fi genre but I feel like he's very approachable and there are elements of romance and philosophy within his work too. It definitely has similar vibes of adventure and intrigue that I would compare to Project Hail Mary.

[@cynthiafialka]

Dark Matter was also good!

[@studiokels]

I feel like you might like Hyperion! It's a sci fi story about 7 individuals who are on a pilgrimage to a dangerous planet, and each chapter is a different character's backstory as to why they're on this voyage, kind of like short story vibes. It's SO GOOD

[@DexterDebauchery]

This is absolutely a must read. Hyperion built hard sci-fi as we know it now. It also might appeal to Noelle because it reads like the Canterbury Tales.

[@milim.c2009]

If you haven’t already, I’d highly recommend She Who Became the Sun, it has Mulan vibes but a lot darker and more nuanced. On the other hand, there’s also the Mirror Visitor series, it’s a french series with a Howl’s Moving Castle type of fantasy and I LOVED it (plus the covers are gorgeous!)

[@sotiria_lazaridou]

I would definitely recommend The Starless Sea! I think it's best to go into this book without knowing anything about it, so bear that in mind!☺

[@taylortorres7717]

i’ve been waaaaaiiiting for spring book recs !!!!!

[@hajarfoundi]

The adventures of Amina ElSirafi by S.A. Chakraborty. The book came out last month, and it's sooo good I literally finished it in a day, and the audiobook is so good and immersive, so I recommend you read it while listening to the audiobook, best experience ever.

[@everafterbookchat]

I’m reading this now. Just starting but I liked the writing style.

[@manumatcha]

the rosie project is a very light and heart warming adventurous book! highly recommended💘

[@alexandraroselyn]

Ooo okay for adventure book- That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon is currently my everything. 😊

[@loramafukuda]

Hi! Have you read The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina? It has all the things I think you like: family drama and trauma, strong women, magical realism, a mystery, and lots of adventures... I loved this book and couldn't put it down ❤

[@mendigo122]

I don't know if you've already read it but The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading it! The vibe is basically Pirates of the Caribbean meets Ocean's Eleven, with heists and adventure and a super thrilling plot. And the first book works as a standalone. Love your videos! 😊

[@10000beees]

I recommend Tress of the Emerald Sea if you're looking for something that centers around an adventure! It's charming and fun from page one, I just loved reading it

[@makennabright6337]

Leigh bardugo’s books are PERFECT if you’re looking for adventure! I would highly recommend the six of crows duology and ninth house (and it’s sequel)

[@samanthaayer]

When you said adventure, my first thought was Six of Crows! It has such a fun heist-based plot!

[@hannahkraemer]

I love the throne of glass series which sort of turns into an adventure book. A real life adventure would be wild by cheryl strayed!

[@cheyannenelson6756]

I recommend The Road! It’s an easy read but the adventure these two main characters face…it’s fascinating and heart wrenching

[@niccamp23]

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig! It’s heavy, but it’s great. Post suicide, a girl is given the chance to live all of the lives she ever could have. So so so good, had me cheering her on and crying for her.

[@kristen7623]

I love this one

[@ninahartwig8064]

I just read Outlawed by Anna North and it was such an amazing adventurous romp!!! 10/10 would highly recommend. It focuses on a group of outlaw women (primarily) who ride horses and thieve other towns and people.

[@hknowles97]

Dark matter and recursion by Blake crouch are two of my all time favorite books! Such good sci-do thrillers that were unputdownable for me

[@abbeyrutter2316]

My favorite mystery series is the Amelia Peabody Mysteries. It has rich family dynamics, the historical context and egyptological references are very approachable, so you don’t need to have any prior knowledge to enjoy it. The first book is called “Crocodile on the Sandbank” and it’s a delight. I listen to the whole series through at least once a year, but make sure if you get the audiobook that it’s the versions narrated by Barbara Rosenblat, her voice makes the story live for me.

[@theonlynidnam]

Adventure book recommendation: Recursion by Blake Crouch (and also Dark Matter if you enjoy Recursion). It was SO addicting and I was totally gripped. I didn’t necessarily love the male characters by the story is so compelling.

[@betsyaker2893]

Yes for Dark Matter!!

[@monikavec]

dunno if i missed it in previous vids but the moon tattoo looks so good on you!!

[@persefoni.]

Really miss your reading vlogs ☺ Would love to see a reading vlog for any of these books you're planning to read this spring 🥰Hair is gorgeous btw!

[@WeirdTangent]

Lots of characters and lots of drama?? _The Pillars of the Earth_ by Ken Follett ! :) I've read that chunker twice!

[@kaylacurrently]

100% Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing. It's about an Arctic expedition that goes terribly wrong. I started binge reading shipwreck stories after.

[@giuliaghoulia]

the Veronica Speedwell series by Deanna Raybourn is a mystery series with a romance subplot and the audio books are amazing. every book they need to solve a mystery and antics ensue

[@celinaawall]

every time you post it’s such a lovely surprise 🤍 the hair is popping as alwaysb

[@maitemino4372]

I'm so excited for you to read Our share of night!!!! You are gonna fly through it, I promise! It's dark but soooo sad, I was holding back tears in the train reading it

[@carlytagendye]

So glad you’re back!! As for recommendations, it’s not necessarily an adventure book, but I feel like you would really enjoy “Maame” by Jessica George! It’s about a young writer trying to navigate newfound independence and coming-of-age amongst a family tragedy - I couldn’t put it down. You might also like “Little Rabbit” by Alyssa Songsiridej, which feels very in-tune with some of the themes in “Cleopatra and Frankenstein” (and which I also devoured)💐❤ P.S.: “Nightcrawling” and “Luster” are incredible!

[@clairedodson7706]

Yes!!! MAAME was INCREDIBLE!! I couldn’t put it down either!

[@Nitteroony]

I have been loving my reading recently, and the heavy sense of adventure has been the driving force! My top three adventure books are - Name of the Wind by Brandon Sanderson, The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers (I think you might have mentioned this already?), and Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse

[@juliapachecoguedes]

chlorine sounds SO GOOD! i swam from ages 4 to 16 and miss it so much, i'm definetly gonna give it a try! (btw missed you)

[@KTC543]

Noelle, if you like reading about family/sibling dynamics and also about swimming, you have to read Black Cake. One of my faves from 2022!

[@madirr6287]

If you like cozy mysteries I HIGHLY recommend the Veronica speedwell series by Deanna Reybourn! It’s one of my favorite series! Every book is a different mystery and adventure. The physical books are amazing but the audio books are chefs kiss❤️

[@hannahd690]

The blood trails by NE Davenport! It’s so good and you won’t be able to put it down. It’s kind of new adult/adult so don’t be put off by the cover. Also glad you’re reading cursed bunny it’s very interesting

[@avareads7254]

For adventure, I'm currently reading Gods of Jade and Shadow and it is SO fun so far!

[@ashb5733]

I just finished this one and loved it!

[@marlenafleck7864]

"Into the Distance" by Hernan Diaz!! Read it last year, was a 10/10 and think about probably more than any other book I've ever read! A historical kinda western featuring a young man crossing the US in search of his brother! Such a lovely main character and phenomenal atmosphere!!

[@delaneyjewel]

Oooo I have some adventurous recs that might work for you!! I think fantasy/sci-fi is the genre that usually fits for just a good-time romp but I also know you don’t tend to read super hardcore fantasy or sci-fi, so maybe some light fantasy or light sci-fi would work! For sci-fi, a book I read on one day that reminds me of Project Hail Mary (near future, light sci-fi, strong first person narrative voice, quirky first contact) and Ready Player One (a large scale immersive puzzle to solve) is An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green. The bonus is that it and its sequel have more interesting thematic conversations from either of those comp titles. Hank has a lot to say about fame, existing online, extremism and misinformation, etc. and how internet game can put strain on people’s relationships. It’s sometimes classified as YA which I don’t get at all. Another rec is a new release called The Adventures of Amina al-Sarafi. It’s fantasy but really light. Not very complicated magic or politics. It’s a pirate adventure about a middle aged mother who is a retired notorious pirate thief who gets dragged back into a last mission. I’ve heard the representation of Middle Eastern history culture and religion is great although I cannot speak to that personally. Again the narrative voice is strong, it’s funny, and just an all around fun time.

[@thecelestialreader]

Cannot recommend the Mistborn trilogy enough for adventure and saving the world. I cried so hard in the last book because it was so impactful. The characters are phenomenal and it will keep you hooked. They’re large epic fantasy and I read them all in a month and a half 😅

[@danielleyoskovich6106]

I get the biggest hit of happiness when I see a new video from you

[@tstockto]

Adventure novels: The Princess Bride, The Lefthand of Darkness and Outlander come to mind. Reading slumps are tough. I feel like I’ve gotten out of them multiple ways, but sometimes it seems like they just run their course. Good luck!

[@jordynpayne7686]

NightCrawling was amazing. Also she was so young when she wrote this book, the author. She was 17 I believe when she started it.

[@kristen7623]

I’ve been dying to read this

[@melissajones4396]

Such a strong sense of place in this novel. It's bleak but so well done

[@p_p_p_p_7732]

Such a good book.

[@ashadevi1387]

wild by cheryl strayed!!! nonfiction/memoir, absolutely engrossing, adventurous, and heart-wrenching. one of my all time faves!!

[@ellenonoda]

My recommendation is Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick. It is an adult fantasy that will be a trilogy, the third and final book comes out in August this year I believe. Basic premise is there is a con artist named Ren who is trying to pull this elaborate con on a noble family to make a better life for herself and her sister Tess. There is political intrigue, there’s elaborate plot, there’s some romance, and a character like Zorro?! It’s amazing and the second book is even more fast paced and amazing! Couldn’t put them down. It takes a little bit to understand how the Venetian inspired world works but trust me, be patient because the payoff is worth it!! Ultimate favorite book of last year! Hope you get out of your slump!

[@helizash]

I always start a fantasy series when in a reading slump. I would recommend crescent city! It’s funny, based in a modern/urban setting.

[@jackiebrett]

I can't wait for you to read This is How you Lose the Time War! It's one of my favorite books I've ever read. It's short, but packs a punch. I read it and was shook. Some say the beginning is confusing, but I didn't mind it and the pay off is worth it. It's a beautiful but intricate romance in a sci-fi world.

[@lexc.8250]

this is how you lose the time war is one of my favourite books so i was so excited to see it on your list! it's one that will either leave you breathless or confused and unsatisfied- i hope that doesn't deter you from reading it. i LOVED it a lot, and i'm so excited to hear what your thoughts are on it. it reads super fast and the romance is ... insane 🥲 i also thought of recommending banana yoshimoto - i'm not sure if you've ever read her writing but she has a short story collection called "kitchen" that i've not read yet and a literary fiction leaning short book called "goodbye tsugumi", which is one of my favourite books ever as well. it's not adventure-y but perhaps an idea for when you're vibing with that

[@PersephoneGreen]

My TBR is so large, I didn't realize I had a lot of these books on it already lol. But I have two book recommendations! First one is Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, it has a large cast of characters planning and going through with a heist. My second book recommendation is Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery by Brom, this is a horror novel based in 1666 about a woman fighting for her independence and a dark spirit awakening in the forest beyond.

[@Erlynnnne]

When you mentioned adventure, I thought of these three books: 1) The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - engrossing because of its creative plot and narrative tool, in addition to the mystery. 2) The Shadow of the Wind - also a good mystery adventure book with gothic themes. 3) All The Names by José Saramago - gives a sense of adventure because the protagonist is trying to find it in his mundane life.

[@toloveabook9214]

adventure books!! Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel The Glass Sentence by S.E. Grove The Electric Kingdom by David Arnold

[@Cozyberry15]

I gave Luster 5 stars but it was definitely a mood read for me. I was in the space of no plot just vibes and this book thrived for me👏🏻✨

[@emmakgill]

I totally agree with the Starless Sea as a recommendation! One of my all time favorite books!! I also have to recommend the An Ember in the Ashes series by Sabaa Tahir. I absolutely love all the adventure and moral dilemmas.😊 Edit: I also love This Is How You Lose The Time War❤

[@emknance]

I know you've read These Violent Delights, but I highly recommend its sequel, Our Violent Ends! Very plot driven, plus adventure, mystery, and romance. The first book in the follow-up duology, Foul Lady Fortune, is also wonderful!

[@Eviebabymommy]

I just got The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi, and I amso excited to read it. I think it sounds like the perfect adventure book!

[@darbysnacks]

New to your channel so maybe you've already read it but I picked up The Talented Mr Ripley because I love the movie so much. And I finally made the connection that nightcrawling is based on celeste guap when you read the blurb.

[@victoriabridgesreads]

I’m not sure if this book fits what you’re looking for but Braised Pork by An Yu, it’s one of my all time favorites and she does go on an odyssey of sorts and it got me out of a reading slump ! 🫶🏼 loved this video as always !! 🥰

[@Jeffrey.e]

Six of Crows is great! And if you haven't read the Eragon series yet, I recommend that you do! I'm planning a reread this year since it's been so long since I've read them.

[@frierenstardew]

I HIGHLY recommend An Ember in the Ashes series. It's Y.A. but from what I recall, even Fictional Fates loved the series so much! It gripped me from the very beginning until the very end

[@saradeleon413]

Becky Chambers The Waferers Series is so good!! I def lost sleep over it, it’s got space adventure but what I love most is the characters are all alien and the most human I’ve ever read. So deeply human, and also her writing challenges the way we think about gender and gender identities. Just amazing.
