Oooh, there are many! Have you tried any Enid Blyton? People say they are kiddish, but they are not. I love her books!

Do you like old classics? If so, I'd really recommend Little Women. It's about 4 sisters during the civil war. Don't worry, it's not boring;)

I KNOW RIGHT!!! I finally meet another Little Women fan! *cries with joy*

Oh, Little Women, I like it too! I may not be an LW AC, but I am a mild fan!

i heard you guys like classics so i recommend Jane Eyre

Oooh, I haven't read many classics, I have only read 8.

ooo I wanna hop in on this little women conversation, I love that book with my whole heart! Also, there are many classic stories that are amazing. I'd definitely recommend Frankenstein for a Gothic, dark read. It is truly great!

Anyone have any good Kindle Unlimited recs? :))

Natalie wrote: "Anyone have any good Kindle Unlimited recs? :))"

I love Jane Eyre and Little Women! Anyone have recommendations for classics that are easier to understand and more for beginners?

Natalie wrote: "I love Jane Eyre and Little Women! Anyone have recommendations for classics that are easier to understand and more for beginners?"

Well, my all time favourites are Pride and Prejudice ( obviously ) and Emma!! ( yes, I am a Jane Austen fan!! Should we have a word for some author's fans?? :D )
Apart from Austen there's To Kill A Mocking Bird and Mrs. Dalloway. :))

Hmm. I don't know if you'll like it, considering your classic preferences, but you can try Sherlock Holmes. I love it <3

You should read Land of Stories! It's pretty similar to Keeper of the Lost Cities, and it's really good!

It is Austen Cult?? I had no idea 😂😂
Yes, Austen Girl is way sweeter but shouldn't it be a little less gender specified?? Like Austenians or something?? 😅❤️

Yes! I would recommend The Possibility of Now by Kim Culbertson. It is a YA contemporary set in Lake Tahoe in winter. Super cozy. Lots of skiing, snow, and a great read. Enjoy!

For anyone that like YA mystery/thrillers

1. Nobody Knows But You
2. Burn For Burn Trilogy by Jenny Han (10/10 would HIGHLY recommend)

Hey! Can anyone recommend a few YA non-fantasy fiction books? :)

Aja wrote: "Hey ya'll. Okay so, I want to give Cassandra Clare a try, but I wanted your guys thoughts on this: should I start with City of Bones or could I start with Clockwork Angel? In all honesty Clockwork ..."

Do you still need the answer? 'Cause I would recommend starting with Clockwork Angel, it is much, much better than City of Bones, and also comes chronologically first :)

It does, thanks!

does anybody have any enemies to lovers recs where the romance is prominent but not the main focus of the story?

@Amy
Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer if you haven't read it already. It's contemporary YA. And Impostors by Scott Westerfeld.

Try The Will and the Wilds by Charlie N. Holmberg

Hey! does anyone know some light, feel good books?

@Rashi
There's A Wrinkle In Time or The Perks of Being A Wallflower. But if you're looking for more romance-y there's To All The Boys I've Loved Before, Anna and The French Kiss, or Tell Me Three Things.
Sorry, hope this helps. :)
