Book Recommendations

@MoonJojo
Sum : Forty Tales from the Afterlives is a very creative book that I highly recommend. It's a collection of 40 different stories about different afterlives each with a creative twist on what one might expect after death. My favorite story from it follows an afterlife where those still remembered by the living must remain in a waiting room until they are forgotten.  

@Tobias5 

Thank you definitely going to read it!

@Tobias5 

I just downloaded the pdf version of this book, and I will start it sometime this week maybe. I will update you because I think I might really enjoy it!

This might not be your style, but a good book i like to read is "The War That Saved My Life" by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, its of a girl named Ada who lives in England 1939-1940, she runs away from her abusive mother with her brother Jamie, they end up in Kent with other children being sent away from the city to avoid bomb strikes from the Germans. They end up in the care of a women named Susan Smith, I like this book because its about discovery and family, i hope you might too 

Lisa Gardner has some great series. They're all suspenseful, mostly based on crimes and solving them.

Ok so that is the entire series thus far in Chronological order. Some you may seen twice that's because in the book there is two different timelines in one book. Also book's do not have the same characters and are from different POV's. Usually each book has 2 to 3 different POV's. I would recommend reading it in Chronological order as it is least confusing pertaining to the series overall. HOWEVER in order to understand the way the world works and the series in Chronological order may not be the best. BUt if you want a run down on the way the world works so you can read it in Chronological order and not be confused. hit me up. 

@SquidwardBobRoss OMGGG I WATCHED A SHOW BASED ON THAT BOOK SERIES (SHADOWHUNTERS)! I LOVEED EVERY SECOND OF IT I WILL CHECK IT OUTT! Thank youu because I didn't know there was whole book series about it.

@MoonJojo

YES! I love the TV series Shadowhunters. Malec was amazing. And the books was the reason I watched the show.

@MoonJojo

Oo so there is this book I've been recommending to everyone I meet ever since I finished reading it and you have no idea how excited I am to share this with you!!!🤩

It's called "Mindbend" by Robin Cook.

If you like Medical Fiction and Horror, this is for U. 

@CompassionateArrow Ok, I looked the book up and omg the plot seems veryyy interesting, adding to my tbr list! Thank you!!

@MoonJojo

Omggg I'm glad you liked itð¤©ð¤©ð¥³ð¥³ð¥³

@MoonJojo   The Scarlet Pimpernal

@unassumingEyes I looked up a summary of the book you recommended, and I think I will like it. Thank you very much for the recommendation! :)

Hello, I wish you joyful reading!

Here is one book that hooked me 'till the end, but maybe not your style.

The Setting Sun by Osamu Dazai - It is Japanese author so if you don't like the depths they go in with their works, then don't read it. It is a postwar Japan story featuring an aristocratic family snd their story through the daughter of that family Kazuko. She goes through many feelings to realise what and who is she now. One quote from the book: "My heart filled with emotion, but I was in such anguish that the tears would not come. I wondered if the feeling I experienced then was what people mean by the well-worn phrase dignity of human life."

@lamimoon 

Hello! Thank you I wish you the same! 

I've been wanting to read some of Dazai's book so thank you for the recommendation :)

@MoonJojo

go figure XD I was actually going to suggest No Longer Human by him. That one's pretty bleak though so be careful.

The Town House by Norah Lofts is one I really liked.

The Miracles of the Namiya General Store by Keigo Higashino was also nice. He actually has quite a few good books.

@InitiateVoidProtocol  

I've heard a lot about No longer human by Dazai. Would you say reading his books is easy to follow through or hard? Also, what was the first book you read by him?

@MoonJojo
Um, I would say easy enough; no longer human was actually the first one I came across, was
disturbingly relatable (especially at that point in my life)

@InitiateVoidProtocol 

Ok, thank you! I will get started with the setting sun by him and update you! :)

@MoonJojo I love romance so here's a few!

A Touch of Darkness series by Scarlett St. Clair(✨spice✨)

Crave series by Tracy Wolff

The Salacious Player's Club series by Sara Cate(✨spice✨)

@KitArendel17 

I also love books in the romance genre, so I will definitely check them out. Thank you :)

I've been reading this webnovel called RE: Trailer Trash.

Here's the synopsis on the website:

"In the year 2045, an MRI mishap transmits Tabitha Moore's mind back into her body in the past. Now it's 1998, she's thirteen years old, and she has to confront her long, miserable lifetime of failures—and once again being trailer trash—all over again.

...Or, does she?

Volume 1 is now available for ebook, audiobook, and hardcover!

/// A re-do story, everyone's guilty pleasure. Updates every month."

It's a little different compared to most do-over stories. She's not after money or fame, she's pretty much trying to redo her life for the better, since she grew up with trauma, pain, no friends, etc. and tries to make her life better. She's also keeping her time travel thing a secret that starts to become harder and harder for her to keep and she becomes overwhelmed with this secret -- knowing things that are
