Camp by L.C Rosen and Willow by Julia Hoban
@ItzLeo
Books are one of my favourite things! Reading is such a relaxing activity ๐
I've not heard of either of those books before, what are they about?
Some of my favourites I have to include: 'a thousand splendid sun's' by Khaled Hosseini, 'the great gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and then my encyclopedia on cats (of course a favourite for me) ๐ธ
๐๐๐๐๐
@SleepyShyCat
thereโs encyclopedia for cats? I needthat one ๐ฉ
@morningJasmine202
Yes! You can get encyclopedias for both domestic cats and wild cats! (and also other animal themed encyclopedias) They are usually filled with lots of photos which is fun, and lots of facts ๐ธ
@SleepyShyCat Borgel by Daniel Manus Pinkwater. It's a kind of philosophical thriller aimed at children/teens. Also very absurdist and surreal. Really great.
Another would have to be Animal Farm by George Orwell. It gives me goosebumps each time I read it, and it's a really quick and easy read that gets your mind really working.
Animal Farm is one of my favorites as well! ๐
@ItzLeo
Harry potter and the prisoner of askaban
Young Werewolfs Under the moon
@Moonythefriendlywerewolf
Prisoner is the best film IMO, but my fave book would either be Chamber of Secrets or Deathly Hallows. Chamber is just so dark when compared to the previous one, and you really start to feel the paranoia that Harry feels about maybe being the heir of Slytherin. And it's a great mystery and the end bit is a total adventure.
Deathly Hallows is just great because it's nonstop adventure with a lot of "missing lore" that we finally get to partake in and of course the exciting climax (but I always skip the stupid epilogue).
But Prisoner film is simply the best - the cinematography, the "girl power" Hermione subplot, but especially the music. The main theme for that film is really nice, plus did you ever notice the ticking clock when they go back in time?
Stephen King is an amazing author, i love his books ๐ Thank you for sharing your favourites! ๐
I like how varied each of these books are ๐ Thank you for sharing! ๐
I loved ''Layla", it was an interesting read and i get why you like it ๐ Thank you for sharing! โค
Anthem by Ayn Rand, Animal Farm by George Orwell, The Clockwork Twin by Walter R. Brooks and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Sorry, thatโs 4. ๐
Animal Farm is another great classic, which such deep meaning behind the story ๐ 4 books is never enough, and thank you for sharing your favourites! ๐
Colleen Hoover is a fantastic author ๐ Thank you for sharing your favourite book! ๐
Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstein for sure. Its something I read at a time in my life when I was at my happiest and I always get those residual feelings back whenever I read it again
It's lovely to hear that reading that book brings back the nostalgia from the time, and the happy feelings of before ๐ Thank you for sharing your favourite book and the reasoning behind it!
@ItzLeo Almost Home by Joan Bauer. I highly recommend it, as it's extremely underrated.
Hmm, i would love to read this book! ๐ It always hurts to see underrated author's talents go to waste due to lack of recognition, so a big thank you for sharing it here ๐
The Sunset Limited by Cormac McCarthy (runner up: All the Pretty Horses by him)
The 10th of December by George Saunders (anything by Saunders, his short story "Escape From Spiderhead" is the best short story ever written as far as I'm concerned, makes me cry every time.)
A tie between the Harry Potter series and the Lord of the Rings trilogy <3
OH MAN, but I can't forget to mention my favorite living novelist...so I'll add Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami.
โBeyond the edge of the world, thereโs a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard.โโ Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
Harry Potter and LOTR are both such iconic series, i love each of them equally too ๐ Thank you for sharing your favourites! ๐
One of my favorite books is โ Not your perfect Mexican daughterโ itโs an easy read book and it truly portrays a Mexican girl and it deals with acceptance, grief and mental health( which isnโt talked enough about in the Latin community!
@jenniroyve
been wanting to read this one, so I'm glad to hear it comes recommended. Erika Sรกnchez's memoir Crying in the Bathroom is quite impactful as well.
@ItzLeo i would say its 4HOUR WORKWEEK and ATTACHED. Both are some of the best in their respective field.
I didnt hear of these before, but i am interested to learn more about them both now ๐ Thank you for sharing your favourite books!
I read "Feminism is for Everybody" and it totally changed my in-depth level perspective of what feminism is.
Currently reading Norwegian Wood- "Haruki Murakami".
Both are good book reccommendations, and i am happy to hear that they provided insight into your knowledge ๐ I wonder if you finished reading Haruki Murakami by now. Thank you for sharing your favourite books! ๐
1984 by George Orwell, No longer human by Ozamu Dazai and Howls Moving Castle, its funny that the last one has a whole different vibe to the other two lol)
These are an amazing range of different books, and written by some great authors as well. I am a huge fan of Studio Ghibli, and i love Howl's Moving Castle too! ๐ Thank you for sharing your favourite books ๐
@ItzLeo

A Strangeness in My Mind by Orhan Pamuk

Gothikana by Runyx ๐ฅฐ

My ultimate favorite book is the King James Bible, other than that I really like The Giver.
