Books with games/trials

Needing some recommendations for books that center around “games” like in the hunger games or phantasma/enchantra.

I also read the prison planet series and they had a couple that gave the same vibe. Preferably not YA but open to it if it’s that good.

Absolute Page Turners

I read most genres except horror… need some recommendations for books that grip you from the first page.

They can be light reads, or not.. as long as they are easy to follow and as they say - unputdownable. Need to lose myself in some books this next while so figured a list of recommendations here would be great! Need some solid entertainment.

Thanks!

Books with good autism representation

Hey ya’ll, because April is Autism Awareness Month, my book club is looking to read a book about an autistic character. Any genre is on the table, so do you have any book recommendations with a focus on autism?

I need a new book to read

I made a resolution this year to start reading more. I haven’t read a book since high school and I felt I should change that lol. I started in January with “Girl with all the gifts” as a paperback and even the book was AMAZING, I swiftly realized I don’t like holding physical books. After finishing, I went and bought a kindle basic. I read “Winter World” and “Until The End Of The World” on it and even tho I LOVED reading on an e reader, I did NOT love being married to kindle. So I sold it and bought a KLC and I haven’t put it down since. I just finished Salem’s Lot and now I’m trying to figure out my next read. I love this thing. It’s my favorite purchase of the last 3 years. And that includes my car I got in 23 lol.

I’m trying to decide what I should read next.

  1. Red Rising

  2. Dungeon Crawler Carl

  3. Mistborn

  4. Way of Kings

  5. Rage of Dragons

  6. Jade City

FMC gets with her Ex’s best friend after he tells everyone she’s crazy!

Hello everyone! I’m looking for romance book recommendations where the FMC breaks up with her current Ex and he spreads around all these nasty lies and rumors about her. Her Ex’s best friend believes him but over the course of the book he realizes he was lied to and his friend is a horrible person and that he’s in love with the FMC. Ik this is so oddly specific but I love the idea of someone realizing that the person they are supposed to hate isn’t crazy. I would like it to be in the FMC pov if possible, thank you!!

Self Help Satire: "You Suck" by Paulie Amigo

So, I like finding hidden gems at the library and even Amazon sometimes. I discovered a sub genre that I didn't know existed called Self-Help Satire, basically mocking the endless books on positivity and self help. Paulie Amigo is one author but I'm now interested in reading others. If anyone has a list of authors in this genre let me know please :)

King of Sin Series by Ana Huang

Hi guys. Just joined 👋🏻

I read the Twisted series when it first came out and I was OBSESSED. Like peak BookTok era, couldn’t put them down, loved the drama, loved the men, all of it.

After that, I started the Kings of Sin series and read King of Wrath and King of Pride. I remember liking them, but then life happened and I never continued. I think I was waiting for King of Greed at the time and just never got back into it.

Now I’m trying to get back into reading (especially spicy romance again after a long break), and I’m debating whether I should continue from where I left off.

My main concern is this:

Do the books feel repetitive or similar to Twisted?

Because I’ve seen mixed opinions. Some people say it’s the same formula with different names, while others say it gets better later on.

Also, King of Greed is next for me and I know it’s a second chance/marriage-in-trouble trope, which is not really my favorite… so I’m a bit hesitant. But I also don’t want to skip books in a series like this.

So for people who’ve read the whole Kings of Sin series:

\- Is it worth continuing?

\- Does it actually get better after the first two?

\- Should I push through King of Greed or is it okay to skip?

I really loved Twisted back then, so I want to know if this series hits the same or if it’s just more of the same in a different font.

Would love honest opinions 🙏🏻
