@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!

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!
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!

'Your Inner Awakening' by Byron Katie.
@bubblegumL4314
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!
@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.
@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.
I just got done reading the book “One by One”. It was fantastic. I like suspense.
