Hello people! I saw another user try this so I thought I'll give it a shot. I had honestly never thought about using you guys (with love) to help me find a book I loved but can't remember! But that's exactly what I'll ask for, hopefully someone else has read it as well!

I read this book i think around 2011-2014, my parents bought it for me at an airport shop so I assume that it had been released around that same time as well, if that serves as a clue. I remember it was a detective book, very clearly influenced by Agatha Christie, the detective protagonist even had a mustache if I remember correctly, but it was set in India, the tone of the book was a bit funny and unserious, but I can't remember if it was catered to younger audiences or if it was a proper YA-NA novel, the only other thing I remember is that the cover was very colorful with a lot of turquoise and orange, and it had the silhouette of the detective in the middle. I can't remember more of the plot or even a bit of the title to save my life, all i remember is that I loved it but somewhere along the line I must've lost it. If anyone has any clues, please let me know!

Just was thinking about this today. Do you y’all count your graphic novels in your total book count for the year? Curious about others’ opinions.

I want to start a challenge where I read at least one persons favorite book a month for this whole year! So I’m looking for book recommendations based off your guys favorites. I’m open to really anything but if you want to look at my profile there are more specific genres I’m into. Thanks guys!

I didn’t expect this book to be this dark! For some reason I thought it would be cosy and it is definitely not the case.

I’ll be the first to say that I’m being quite the downer for pointing this out, but I just can’t get over it and I’m sure there are others out there that feel the same. Simply put, a lot of the books on this list do not take place in “Medieval Times”.

Historical periods are constructs just like any label for anything really, however I feel that when pop culture conflates massively different eras purely based on vibes, misconceptions and incorrect interpretations of narratives can damage the modern social perception of our past. I’m not talking about the books that stray more into myth and fantasy on here - such as The Salt Grows Heavy or The Pilgrim. Instead, sadly so, it’s the more popular and loved books on this list: Hamnet, Year of Wonders, The Other Boleyn Girl, etc. Generally speaking, the Renaissance/Early Modern Period (whatever you’d like to call it, obviously the latter lasts much longer), begins around 1450. So Shakespeare, the Tudors, and a plague in 1666 are decidedly no longer in “Medieval Times”.

With that being said, it would be a shame if I were just a critic and not a contributor, so here are my bids for period accurate additions: The Buried Giant, When Christ and His Saints Slept, The Once and Future King, and Here Be Dragons.

Obsessed with Sangu Mandanna

I officially need to read everything she has ever written😫🩷

Have you ever enjoyed a book so much that you have to slow down incase you finish it too soon?

Thats how i feel about the hail mary 😅. I thought it had 1000pages, so i can cruise along with it for a month. Thats not how its going 😅.

I feel like im constantly learning new things!

I came accross a post that mentioned they witnissing service berry’s mission in action. How cool!

Q: Do you guys have any other examples of this currently being exhibited?

Ive heard of the free egg stands, or library knooks on the street. But i’d be open to hearing more examples that i maybe never heard of before!
