Linda | 20 comments You could read the Lunar Chronicles by Merissa Meyer. The series is 4 books long and 2 side books. Also, if you like adventure and sci-fi with some drama and romance and battles of war and... well it has a lot going on. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard is great. Up to now there are two books available for this series... being Red Queen and the other would be Glass Sword. The third book will be coming soon... The King's Cage. Those you would live if you like that kind of thing unless you are looking for a stand alone book. I have a whole bunch of books O could recommend that you would never regret reading. Just let me know.

Maleficent (Mallylies) | 13 comments Fantasy/supernatural : Absolutely Red Queen! Or Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. Or The Throne of Glass ^^

And among adventure ones "These broken stars" surprised me really pleasently :) (just don't look at the cover, or look- and let yourself be surprised by the plot) :)

All those books are amazingly written, and even though they may seem "typical", made me read all night!


message 7: by Linda (new)

Linda | 20 comments The one that seemed to be the one you are talking about Malifecent "These Broken Stars" seems to be in another language. Can you tell me the name of the author so I can find it and read it?

message 9: by Linda (new)

Linda | 20 comments I thought it would be that one but considering you said something about the cover. Seemed like you didn't like it or something lol but, I actually like the cover a lot :D


message 10: by Linda (new)

Linda | 20 comments It is a weird cover but its ... idk... idk how to explain it lol


message 11: by Maleficent (new)

Maleficent (Mallylies) | 13 comments I'm probably speakning in a weird version of english (using polish sayings and trying to translate them :P)
But, as for me, the cover is designed really shoddy and amateurish... (and that's why my friend is still avioding this book)!
Anyway, enjoy your reading :)

Linda | 20 comments 1. Hello, Darkness by Sandra Brown - there is romance, mystery and suspense.
2. The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove by Lauren Kate- it's an interesting read and unexpected ending.
3. The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause - Romance, tragedy and idk lol but it's good.
4. The memoirs of a living Dead Girl by Brenda Bailey - super hot romance with a dark side
5. Don't Breath a Word by Holly Cupala - I read this one like in 2 days and just because I had to put it down to do things. It's deep and gets to you. And there is a very positive lesson to learn from it and shows a different kind of reality.
6. The Time of The Ghost by Diana Wynne Jones - Not sure how you feel about reading a bit complex but it is an intriguing story where you get to a point where you believe you know what is happening but then something else happens and you figure you have no idea at all but are so intrigued and you have to solve this mystery and know. Don't let the cover and the title fool you.
7. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare - I read this book years back for one of my classes at the university. I thought I was going to hate it even though it has one of those newbery awards but, I actually was surprised how good it was. Idk... you could give it a try.

These are the stand alone books I figure you might enjoy according to what you have said. I am also adding here 3 book series you could look into and absolutely love.

1. Asylum by Madeline Roux - 3 books
2. The Lunar Chronicles by Merissa Meyer - 4 books plus 2 side books
3. House of Night - there are like 12 books lol idk I figured according the books and such you talked about you might really enjoy this series.

All the book series on this list are complete so you won't have to be waiting.

message 28: by angie (new)

angie | 27 comments A Court of Mist and Fury. A lot of people have probably already read it since it's pretty darn popular but if you haven't read it, READ IT (well read the first one first). ITS SUCH A GOOD BOOK OMG


message 29: by Al (new)

Al (al-h) | 271 comments I would recommend The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. IT IS AMAZING. I can't even put into words how much I love this book, and its Goodreads rating says it all. To sum it up briefly, it follows a 15-year-old boy on his story of how he unwillingly became a legend in his own time, told a few years after all of these events have happened. A-MAZ-ING. But be warned: the 3rd book has yet to come out, almost 4 years after a horrible cliffhanger. So... if you don't want that struggle in your life... maybe wait? Not sure, but if you like bigger books and first-person narration, I'd give this a try!

Now for a YA suggestion, if that's more your style: My favorite YA book ever is The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen. It is sooo good! I have to be honest, the 2nd and 3rd don't quite reach the high bar set by the 1st, but if you like witty, smart-ass characters in first-person, a good chuckle, and an amazing story with a twist, this one is a quick read that I truly love! The whole series is worth a read for sure, but this one stood out like a star. It's awesome.

Last-but-not-least, another YA series. Legend by Marie Lu. This is more dystopian, in its own way, though it still takes place in a civilization with cities and slums and all that. But here's the thing: I'm not a fan of dystopian. Yet this book, and the two that follow, are AWESOME. It's narrated by two 15-year-olds, a boy named Day and a girl named June, and follows their individual and strongly contrasting lives and how they happen to meet. It's really cool, with an awesome twist, and it's written kinda like Divergent and The Hunger Games, in the present-1st-person "I say, she says" style. I really liked it, and if that's your kinda book, I think you should give it a try.

Sorry that was so long! Hope you find some of my suggestions helpful :)

Nima (nerdtanima) | 38 comments Has anyone read another book like Me Before You? Something bittersweet that can hint at romance but doesn't have to necessarily end up there? And something with a good lesson as well.


Running With Wolves | 1 comments Looking for a good horror book. Thanks!

A'ishah (thehijabibookworm) | 26 comments Hi everyone. If you like romance standalones, then I recommend:
1) The Princess by Jude Deveraux.
2) Killjoy by Julie Garwood.
3) The hating game by Sally Thorne
4) The Gold Coin by Andrea Kane
I read these all awhile ago and really liked them so I hope you do too. They all (except #3) have a common theme of romance with a bit of mystery.

Anna Faversham (annafaversham) | 93 comments Lexi Revellian's Time Rats book #1 called The Trouble with Time is reduced to 0.99 for a week from 5th May - so I'm told. It's a fast moving time travel book.
