@bubblegumL4314 As you're a listener, I'll mention that I once made a Listeners' Reading List.
For entertainment I'm currently reading weird science fiction—the Machineries of Empire series by Yoon Ha Lee.

Hello! I recommend 7 1/2 lessons about the brain. Its a science book but its pretty interesting learning about the quirks of the brain. It's a short read too. The book isnt too complicated. The author does a great job at keeping it simple and intresting. I hope you enjoy!
@intelligentClementine7876 thanks for this one! I tried getting into science books with brief answers to the big questions by Stephen hawking and its interesting although it isn't catching my attention a lot so ill definitely look into this one!
@bubblegumL4314
Bullet Train by Kotaro Isaka is absolutely BRILLIANT. I don't know how to describe it, it's so so so damn good. Also the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy is a fun read.
@Ravis889 just read the synopsis and it looks really good! I'm guessing the movie was inspired by it and I really liked it, do you think the book is better?
@bubblegumL4314
Listen. The book is ALWAYS better. ALWAYS. Especially for this one!
@Ravis889 hahahahahaha I'm with you on this one, and thanks for the recommendation, I didn't know there was a book but I will read it :) I'll let you know what I think
I read a lot of books so I cannot always remember titles, but I definitely remember authors. Jodi Picoult is one of my favorites. Her books are fiction but often center on real-life topics that have complexities. She does a lot of research and puts a lot of depth into plot and character development. Tom Fowler has a few series, one of which is about a private investigator with a sarcastic sense of humor who manages to get out of some tough situations. Then there are a few mysterious books that really stick out to me that kept me guessing the whole time: Gone Girl and Verity.
@Help127 I looked into the first one and it really catches my eye, is there a particular book (if you remember it hahahah) that you liked the most for me to read? I do like crime mystery too so the other author seems like a good option and Gone Girl has been on my tbr list for soooo long I should get w that one, thanks for your comment !!!
@bubblegumL4314 the ones of hers that stick out to me the most are House Rules, My Sister's Keeper, and 19 Minutes. All of hers, though, are amazing. I might be getting the next two titles not exactly right, but also, The Storyteller and Leaving Time. I hope you enjoy!

hey Bubble! ive only completed "1984" and "Animal Farm" just my 2 cents...they are very dark. depressive...good, solid ideas but man. dark...dark stuff and esp if we are (I am) trying to work on bettering mental health, I'd say "avoid" those but love this tread you started...and so ive chimed in
sorry if Im not posing better ideas!
Have an exciting journey on your quest to finding good books yeah! I'll tune in to your tread as well!
@serenekite52 I'm glad you liked it, feel free to come back any time with new recommendations but these are good too! I bought 1984 a while ago but didn't find the time to read it, I did read Fahrenheit 451 which I think has similar vibes and I liked it so I might read that soon, thanksss
@bubblegumL4314 Dearly, If you are looking for a self help book, I would strongly recommend two books, One is the "The Secret" By Ronda Byren and the other one is "The Power of Habbit"
both of these books are library books and a must read, I would love to have your feed back once you go through them.
Best Regards,
Soft Corner.
@TheSoftCorner hey! thank you so much for your comment, I don't usually read self help books but I'll gladly give it a chance. is the author from the second book Charles duhigg? thanks again! :)
@bubblegumL4314 The ones We Keep is a really good one, it's by Bobbie Jean Huff. I really like it, and I'm not even done with it, I got it yesterday and I'm already 75% done with it.
@AlishiaLeanne I just looked into it and it sounds quite interesting, plus the cover is nice haha
did you finish the book already? what did you think?
I just got done reading the book “One by One”. It was fantastic. I like suspense.
@sunshineandhurricane hello!! who is the author? I searched it but several books have the same title. I am lately getting more into suspense mystery thriller books and so, I might look further into it. thanks!
