Currently reading Norwegian Wood!

Everybody talks about “The Outsiders,” but I don’t see many people talk about its semi-sequel/followup “That Was Then, This Is Now.” I liked it more than “The Outsiders,” tbh. Maybe it was the scrappier characters or the more intimate scope (only four main characters instead of a whole group), but it hit me a lot of harder. It’s a shame more people don’t talk about it, so do yourselves a favor and read it.

Do you need to read this in order. I know there is one called Percy Jackson’s Greek gods and I don’t know which one comes first. I found this at a thrift store. I read the original series and loved it.

Hey, has anyone read the Unwind series by Neil Shusterman? If so, how did you like it?

Why is this rated 18+? Anyting unsuitable for teens?

Does Whims of Fae series have spice? Looking for clean read.

I started watching the show for One of Us is Lying but I haven’t read it (and probably won’t). I wanna hear from the perspective of someone who has read it. Is the show as good as the book? Is the book better? What do you think?

Anyone read this yet? I just got it. It’s my first book by the author. It sounded so interesting I just had to get it especially for this time of year.

Why haven’t I seen anybody talk about The Spirit Glass? It’s a great book; brought back that PJO feeling I haven’t had in a while. Funny, great mythology, and the ending nearly made me cry.

Anyone reading ZA?! Zodiac Academy

i’m a little more than halfway through the first ZA book and i have tried to be as open minded as possible but i can’t take much of this glorified abuse. i know it’s a bUlLy RoMaNcE but this shit is unhealthy af. can someone tell me if either the girls get revenge and kill the boys or is the first book an anomaly and it gets more normal after this? it’s hard to imagine the love interests coming back from this or getting redeemed but this series is so popular…#romance #yafantasy

I need help! I tried to buy the ballad of never after back in july from eBay becuse I wanted the UK editions. They sent me this one instead. So I bought the 2nd book from another seller instead. I’m just now reading this one they sent on accident and several pages are blank and I’m missing parts of the story. What should I do? I wanted to have all three UK editions on my shelf but this ones incomplete. I can’t ask the seller because it was so long ago and it’s the wrong book.

Could a mature 14 year old read this? I loved it and I know it has no sexual inappropriate thing to my knowledge but I don’t remember much about the language or violence. She has read Percy Jackson, The Wingfeather saga, the maze runner, the hunger games, and Harry Potter. She can watch anything pg-13 as well. If the violence is like those things or pg-13 movies than she’s good. I want your alls opinions.

Hello everyone! So I’ve been recommend this book on many occasions, and I would really like to know everyone’s thoughts on this book. The plot, the characters, the themes, the messages or hidden meanings, anything. Thank you! 🖤 #young_adult_fiction #gideontheninth #lgbtqia #fantasy #books #bookrecommendations #fiction #action

Not book related but app related. When ever a recommend a book or upvote something that I have read it jumps to the front of my profile page. Does it do that to anyone else? It’s really annoying and bugging me out.

Maximum Ride fans were victims of the sunken cost fallacy, weren’t we? The first three books were good and grabbed us so effectively that we held on through, what, 10 years of the ghost writer books? When I look back on everything after “Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports” I can’t believe I invested so much time into something that disappointing.

Does anyone know if Simi spends a majority of her time as a human in this book or does she stay a mermaid, I kind of want to read it but I’ve read to many mermaid books recently where there’s barely any mermaids present.

Did you all know there was a new shatter me series coming in April? It’s supposed to be a bout a grown up James! I’m so excited!

I started read in this and I’m a third of the way into it. But this whole time travel thing is kinda messing with my head. Should I keep reading or no????
