Looking for Book Recommendations! 📚

Jenna October 4th

Hey everyone! I’m in the mood for some fresh reads and would love your recommendations. I’m open to any genre; fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, thrillers, mystery, you name it!

What’s a book you’ve read recently that you couldn’t put down? Or an all-time favorite that you think everyone should read?

Bonus: Any book you recommend that gives fall vibes?

It is one of the popular ones but I read it a little too late in life it seems hehe~ The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, it might (definitely) have a potential triggers though, so please do get an overview if it may help.

Something else is another popular one~ Atomic Habits by James Clear, as one of the most practical handbooks I've come across! :D

Have you read either of them or would like to consider? <3

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou.    @Jenna. I love The Kite Runner! Trigger warnings as Sun mentioned. I can also recommend another book by Khaled Hosseini called A Thousand Splendid Suns. This one is great also but comes with trigger warnings as well

Anytime...I could've made the list more than twice as long but that would've been ridiculous. 😄

I would recommend the first Septimus Heap book entitled Magyk by Angie Sage.  it's got wizards, a princess, and - you guessed it - magyk!

There are many short stories in various genres posted online on the site https://www.eastoftheweb.com/

@Jenna

I would heartily recommend

"Darius the Great Is Not Okay"

Novel by Adib Khorram

Triggering warning. 

Very nice book though.

@Jenna

There is a novelties by 2024 Nobel Prize winner Han Kang that you can read free online:

https://granta.com/the-fruit-of-my-woman/

It's triggering and rather painful (as, I hear, most of Han's writing is) but exquisitely beautiful at the same time.
