The Midnight Readers discussion

I know there are already some recommendations topics, but I wanted this one to be a little bit different. You can post your favorite books, authors and genres here, and I will try to recommend books based on that a lot and other people can too. Just use this as a way to recommend books and get recommendations!

Yep! Alright I kinda hate GR right now. It’s recommending books that I have either read and didn’t like or books that look terrible. If anybody has recommendations I’m loving the Divergent series, my favorite book of all time is ready player one, and I love Hunger Games

is a really good dystopian you might like!

my favorite series is keeper of the lost cities, my favorite author is rick riordan, and my favorite genre is fantasy

@lemon Hm I think you might like the rangers apprentice series or the skinjacker series

@Rebeka interesting i’ll check it out

Well I’m glad I forgot to delete this. Some people are finally using it

Can someone recommend me books about dragons

Dragons dragons dragons... hmm. I’ll have to think on that

the Dragon Slippers trilogy by Jessica Day George

Yes I loved this series!

There’s a book called Eragon that I’ve been meaning to read. Pretty sure it has a lot to do with dragons

Yessss Jessica Day George was my elementary years

Oops sorry just realized you’ve read that

I’ve read that and absolutely LOVED it!

Thanks for all the recommendations!

Yes! I loved Tuesdays at the Castle

Oh also Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke (she also wrote the inkheart series) is good

I've read the first Castle Glower book twelve times!! Princess of Glass is my favorite though, from the Westfalin series.

Ohhh! Also, I used to LOVE the Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage and I think there were dragons in it

My mom has been nagging me to read that for so long so maybe I finally will!

@Adela ooh noice

I have very specific reading tastes, but maybe someone can recommend me something.
• My favorite book is The Fifth Season . . . but I don't know about apocalyptic fiction I'm general.
• If it's queer, I'll read it. Probably. If it's not queer, it had better be good or I might not read it. But I will read books that aren't queer, though. They're just not my preference.
• I like historical YA. Especially queer historical YA.
• I like fantasy, but a lot of fantasy is disappointing. I especially don't like high fantasy YA. But I do like books like Point of Hopes and Assassin's Apprentice.
• I don't like classics
• I loooove nonfiction. My favorite nonfiction book is The Pig Who Sang to the Moon and The Happiness Advantage.
Does anyone have any books for me??

@Tiffany sawkill girls by claire legrand and rule by ellen goodlett seem your type. they both have f/f romances and sawkill girls has an asexual character and rule has a presumably bisexual character. they’re both fantasies but sawkill girls is more horror. and to warn you, sawkill girls scared the living daylights out of me

Oh, I should have mentioned that I don't like horror. Thanks, though!

@Tiffany oh ok, and you’re welcome!

I love fantasy with a dash of romance. Some of my favorites are Uprooted by Naomi Novik, The Naming by Alison Croggon, and the Throne of Glass series. Any recommendations?

Rule

Which book is that? The link's not working

that’s funny

Oooooo! That looks amazing! *slams TBR*

yes there’s a million plot twists and an agonizing cliffhanger and amazing characters and ships and representation and EVERYTHING

I love dystopian and murder mystery But lately I've been reading bios.

The Hunger Games
A Study in Charlotte

Basically any Kasie West book. They’re cute, light hearted, contemporary romance stories. PS I Like You is a good one

@Ashi Once and For All

KotLC (Keeper of the Lost Cities)
Unwanteds

The Guest List is a good murder mystery.

Any of Kristian Alva's Dragon Stone books... they are AMAZING!!!

I love historical fiction books where I'm able to learn something I had no idea about before reading that book. My favorite book is Salt to the Sea (and all other books by Ruta Sepetys). I'm open to any recommendations for books like this :)

I love books like that too! Unfortunately I’m blanking on any at the moment. Have you read Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys? It’s also a historical fiction from that era and the characters tie together with Salt to the Sea.

Sorry if you’ve already read that, I’ll keep thinking.

Yes, and I absolutely loved it! I recently read her newest book, The Fountains of Silence, and loved that one as well <3

I loved reading Between Shades of Gray!! Some other good books (in my opinion) are "This is Our Story" by Ashley Elston, which is a really good murder mystery/ romance novel. I also really liked the Maximum Ride series, which is an adventure series with some romance.

Hey y’all. I’m looking for mainly YA Books or
Middle grade. I’m interested in fantasies about animals (think warrior cats or wings of fire) or LGBT related YA books (bonus points if it has trans or gay representation). I also read mangas (Haikyuu!!) and graphic moves (I haven’t read it yet but Heartstopper)
Thanks :)

Favorite books: Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Lunar Chronicles, The Book Thief, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Fault in our Stars
Favorite Authors: Cassandra Clare, Rick Riordan

YA book recs please!!

I’ve heard of them! I’ll check it out

Thanks! I'll look into those :)

@harper

• varjak paw - middle grade cat fantasy thing, actually way better than i’d have thought
• carry on - about to read it, ya gay fantasy i’ve heard a lot about

Andrea, have you read Scythe? Based on those I think you’d like it. I’ll keep thinking though!
