☆Hii, I am just a teenage girl who is obsessed with books, I am obsessed with YA Thrillers and Romance. I am also a slow reader as I am not a native speaker and don't know many words☆

  • Introvert questions

    Okay, this is pretty random 😂 but all my fellow introverts and people who were “the quiet kid” what’s something you hated hearing growing up? I hated when I would get labeled as quiet, unfriendly, or shy. I hated it because I wasn’t really quiet, I had a lot to say, but didn’t always feel comfortable, but when I got to know someone I love talking and having fun!

  • Is kindle worth buying?

    Can someone please tell me if kindle is worth buying because they cost ~£80 to ~£150 or more. I've never tried using kindle before and I don't know anything about it. Do you have to buy the books for your kindle separately or are they all free when you buy the actual kindle itself? I am tempted about which is better for the future before I buy any new books and which one will end up being cheaper? - the paper copy of a book which my friend could borrow after I read it OR kindle version to keep all your books in one place and it takes less space when moving.

    I am also a little bit concerned about me actually enjoying reading something on a kindle because it's kind of different from the papercopies so the pages are not the same and the fact that the covers on kindle are black and white, I myself absolutely LOVE looking at the bookcovers.

    NEW: Make your book suggestions here! (12/15/25 update: no new books being added until 2026)

    Hello everyone!

    I am making a new suggestion post because the original is a bit buried and I want to ensure it's easy to find the criteria for what does and does not qualify.

    If you have a suggestion for books to add to this quest, please comment them here. Make sure to double check that it has not already been requested on this post. If your suggestion is already here, please upvote the existing comment as I will use the upvotes to gauge interest!


    What qualifies a book for this quest? The books in this quest are structured around a game or trial rather than just including games/trials somewhere in the book. The entire narrative is about preparing for the games, the games themselves, and the aftermath of the games.

    Examples of books that would not fit despite including a game/trial plot point:

    • The Will of the Many by James Islington
    • The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
    • The Poppy War by R F Kuang

    While the games/trials in these books are important to the story, the books are not about the games/trials.


    10/28/25 note: I am currently focusing on adding diverse voices, especially BIPOC authors, to balance the quest a bit more.

    12/15/25 note: All suggestions from the old post and one-off posts have been added as individual comments here. If yours was missed please create a separate comment on this post.
