Jade Scarlett Stone Posted November 30, 2020 Report Posted November 30, 2020 I need book recommendations please, I have read all the books in my room {which is about 300} over the course of my life and need some new books to read. I have read many books so it is pretty hard to find good books to read that I haven't read yet. I am open to any genre usually, except graphic novels and things like that. I have read shakespeare and enjoyed it so I am siriusly open to anything and will take about any recommendations that I can get at this point. I will take series recommendations or just single books. PLEASE HELP ME WITH RECOMMENDATIONS I NEED THEM AND AM LITERALLY GOING TO DIE IF I DON'T FIND A BOOK TO READ! {Okay maybe not literally but still...} Quote
February Fortescue Posted November 30, 2020 Report Posted November 30, 2020 Hello Jade! Welcome to HOL. You've actually READ Shakespeare? <<<gulp>>> No worries about finding some first rate book suggestions. We have lots of readers here! Our main HOL forum (click here) has a Book Club under the main Clubs and Departments heading. Also, under Students' Lounge - Discussion - is Book Talk You're bound to find some new books, and help others just like yourself find their new favorite book. I'm currently reading The Soul of Psychosynthesis. It's not for everyone, or even most people. I'm not the best at book recommendations...sorry. Quote
Rose Pottermore Posted November 30, 2020 Report Posted November 30, 2020 Book Recommendations - Yep! I guess I'll be of some help. 1.) The Chronicles Of Narnia Series - I love them! A must read. 2.) The Magic Of The Lost Temple - The author is Sudha Murty, I like all her books. 3.) The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid series - I haven't read them all, but so far, I guess they're good. I can't remember anything much right now, so, I'll get back to you. Hope you like these! 😄 Quote
Jade Scarlett Stone Posted November 30, 2020 Author Report Posted November 30, 2020 Thanks for the suggestions! I have read Diary of a wimpy kid but I haven't read the other two, so I will check those out thanks! Quote
Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis Posted November 30, 2020 Report Posted November 30, 2020 Under the Never Sky trilogy by Veronica Rossi Ender's Game series by Orson Scott Card The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (Cinder is the first book) The Reckoners series by Brandon Sanderson (Steelheart is the first book) Quote
Jade Scarlett Stone Posted November 30, 2020 Author Report Posted November 30, 2020 Thanks for the suggestions! I have already read "The Lunar Chronicles" and "Under the Never Sky" trilogy but I haven't read the other two, so I will take a look at those thank you so much! Quote
Lucia Dinapoli Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 Have you tried reading the original Sherlock Holmes stories from Arthur Conan Doyle? They're very cleverly written! A couple of ones I read this past year that stuck with me were 'Washington Black' by Esi Edugyan, 'Station Eleven' by Emily St. John Mandel, 'Little Darlings' by Melanie Golding and Tomi Adeyemi's Legacy of Orisha books (the third one is yet to come out, but they're fantastic!) I'm yet to read them but anything by James Herbert is supposed to fantastic too! Quote
Jade Scarlett Stone Posted January 22, 2021 Author Report Posted January 22, 2021 I have read some of the original Sherlock Holmes. I haven't read any of the other ones though. I will have to check them out thanks! Quote
Emily Spencer Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare is really good. She also wrote Mortal Instruments. For fantasy, I would also recommend: Keys to the Kingdom by Garth Nix Memory, Sorrow & Thorn Trilogy by Tad Williams Modern Faerie Tales by Holly Black If you like Steampunk here are some good ones: A Latent Dark by Martin Kee The Clockwork Giant by Brooke Johnson Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger Hope that helps!

Lucia Dinapoli Posted March 14, 2021 Report Posted March 14, 2021 I am going to add some of those to my own list I think Emily, Memory, Sorrow and Thorn seems particularly interesting! I think I am going to have to keep revisiting this thread to steal some book suggestions 😅 Quote
Hannah Lovegood Posted March 14, 2021 Report Posted March 14, 2021 I recommend A Pug's Tale by Alison Pace. Quote
Lucia Dinapoli Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 Here's some I read recently that I have enjoyed... They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera, Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell, The Girl With The Louding Voice by Abi Dare and The Midnight Library by Matt Haig Quote
Ash Dorman Posted September 2, 2021 Report Posted September 2, 2021 Iqbal. I'm not sure who it's by but it's such a good book. it's about child slavery. might not be your cup of tea but it definitely is mine. it's one of my favourites! Quote
Cole Thronheart Posted December 13, 2021 Report Posted December 13, 2021 Idk if you’re into the horror/thriller or post apocalyptic type books but I have a few Stephen Kings books that I find good. The Stand, The Revival, and Dr. Sleep (it’s a kind of sequel to The Shinning. Then Bobby Adair, who is an Indi author has a 9 book series plus a novella called Slow Burn and the Tenth book just came out this year. I’ve read about ten times already it very good. It’s a post apocalyptic type setting. Quote
Lee West Posted September 10, 2023 Report Posted September 10, 2023 Oh I love giving out reading advice! You should try the Shatter Me series or The Hunger Games! Divergent is great too! Quote
Ayumu Yamamoto Posted October 9, 2023 Report Posted October 9, 2023 Hey, I love the Obsidian book series from the author Jennifer L. Armentrout. The folllowing series Revenge of the Obsidian series is good too. :,) Quote
