[@regulah2125]

the Red Rising sequel series is incredible. It's not for everyone since it's quite different from the trilogy. It's even darker, slower paced, adds multiple POVs and some other things. But it's undoubtedly better written. Pierce Brown definitely leveled up after Morning Star.

[@rachaelpelletier6711]

I love that because she reads so many different genres (and is so articulate about explaining what specifically she liked and disliked about each book) that her recommendations aren't just "I loved this one so you will too!" I feel like she understands so well that even incredible books aren't meant for everyone.

Being Mortal is one of the books that has had the biggest impact on me in my life. As a physician, I regularly think about his viewpoint when working with patients.

Lexi, I love you. Hetro man. No book system. You are my true feelings, you go girl.

[@RedLovelyRed]

I highly recommend Jason Pargin (John dies at the end) its neat bc the series doesn't need to be read in order so I recommend This Book is Full of Spiders, one of my all time favorite books. Its horror comedy. And If This Book Exists, You're in the Wrong Universe. If you want a neat YA scifi written in a way I haven't seen before I suggest the illuminae trilogy. I had a LOT of fun with that one.

idk if you’ve heard of the traitor baru cormorant triology it’s an incredible geopolitical fantasy about empire and colonialism and a woman named baru cormorant who would use any means necessary to climb the ladder of this empire to tear it all down for what they did to her home. it is very dark and political and i think you would enjoy it (it’s not fun the ending made me sob)

Re Loveless: that's a perfect example of a Mary Sue/Gary Stu. people think that a Mary Sue is any female character that's too powerful but in reality is any character of any gender that seems to warp the universe of the story in their favor. Like by not Being a good person but having Every single character act like they're the best. actions do not match the reactions of the Rest of The Book world with no in universe explanation

[@Em-27X]

loved this thank you for sharing!! I liked reading "impossible owls" by brian phillips recently--it's an essay collection and I've liked the first couple essays a lot. or alternately one of my favorite books ever is "the thirty names of night" by zeyn joukhadar, which is fiction and about art and grief and community and gender and is really just beautiful
