Recommendation for books about social isolation

Hi Boundlings!

As the title says, I'm looking for fiction recs about loneliness, disconnection and social isolation. I have found and read a lot of books about it, but it's usually not in-depth or people find friends and found family, but that's not what I'm looking for now. I'm looking for exact opposite of that. A book where the person remains lonely and isolated, but perhaps finds comfort and peace with it in the end instead getting out of the isolation.

If you want background why I'm looking for books like it, I just went throught breakup with my girlfriend, who also was my only friend for the past 7 years. I have been struggling with connection with people my whole life due to my severe social anxiety and social isolation and that was also kinda hidden cause why the relationship failed. So I'm looking for books where I can cry my eyes out by how relatable it is and find comfort in seeing what my life might look like in the future when I won't be albe to get out of it.

Thank you for all the recs and have a nice day!

Supernatural books recs

Hi! I’m currently watching the tv series Supernatural (season 5 right now) and i would love a book with the same vibes! it’s not really my genre when it comes to reading, but i need more!! maybe something that matches the first seasons, with the “mystery” and finding out new monsters and things like that.👻

Do you have any recs??💕

Dungeon Crawler Carl

Matt Dinniman

The apocalypse will be televised! A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth—from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds—collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe. Only a few dare venture inside. But once you're in, you can't get out. And what's worse, each level has a time limit. You have but days to find a staircase to the next level down, or it's game over. In this game, it's not about your strength or your dexterity. It's about your followers, your views. Your clout. It's about building an audience and killing those goblins with style. You can't just survive here. You gotta survive big. You gotta fight with vigor, with excitement. You gotta make them stand up and cheer. And if you do have that "it" factor, you may just find yourself with a following. That's the only way to truly survive in this game—with the help of the loot boxes dropped upon you by the generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy. They call it Dungeon Crawler World. But for Carl, it's anything but a game.

The Darkness Outside Us

Eliot Schrefer

Two boys, alone in space. After the first settler on Titan trips her distress signal, neither remaining country on Earth can afford to scramble a rescue of its own, and so two sworn enemies are installed in the same spaceship. Ambrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor, with no memory of a launch. There’s more that doesn’t add up: Evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship’s operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed—not when he’s rescuing his own sister. In order to survive the ship’s secrets, Ambrose and Kodiak will need to work together and learn to trust one another… especially once they discover what they are truly up against. Love might be the only way to survive.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post

Emily M. Danforth

When Cameron Post's parents die suddenly in a car crash, her shocking first thought is relief. Relief they'll never know that, hours earlier, she had been kissing a girl. But that relief doesn't last, and Cam is soon forced to move in with her conservative aunt Ruth and her well-intentioned but hopelessly old-fashioned grandmother. She knows that from this point on, her life will forever be different. Survival in Miles City, Montana, means blending in and leaving well enough alone (as her grandmother might say), and Cam becomes an expert at both. Then Coley Taylor moves to town. Beautiful, pickup-driving Coley is a perfect cowgirl with the perfect boyfriend to match. She and Cam forge an unexpected and intense friendship—one that seems to leave room for something more to emerge. But just as that starts to seem like a real possibility, ultrareligious Aunt Ruth takes drastic action to 'fix' her niece, bringing Cam face-to-face with the cost of denying her true self—even if she's not exactly sure who that is. The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and unforgettable literary debut about discovering who you are and finding the courage to live life according to your own rules.

The Most Unusual Haunting of Edgar Lovejoy

Roan Parrish

Jamie Wendon-Dale may design haunted houses, but they don't actually believe in ghosts—until they meet Edgar Lovejoy, who is tall, clever, beautiful…and 100% haunted. A COZY, GHOSTLY LGBTQIA+ ROMANCE Jamie Wendon-Dale creates haunted houses for a living. Haunting is their life—but nobody working New Orleans' spooky circuit actually believes in ghosts. Edgar Lovejoy is 100% haunted. No, really. Ghosts have tormented him since childhood and he's organized his life around attempts to avoid them. Opposites? Get ready to attract. But while Jamie's biggest concern is that Edgar sometimes seems a bit distracted, Edgar's fears are much greater. Not only is he scared of encountering the dearly departed whenever he leaves the house, but he's terrified of making himself vulnerable to Jamie. After all, how do you tell someone who believes ghosts only exist as smoke and mirrors that you see them everywhere you go? And how can you trust in a happy future when you can't even believe in yourself? A little spooky, a little magical, and a whole lot The (Most Unusual) Haunting of Edgar Lovejoy will leave you feeling like you've found a brand new bookish family of your own.

Kniha byla velmi čtivá, ale jinak mě neoslovila. Nelíbil se mi styl psaní a chování postav, díky kterému jsem se s nimi nemohla ztotožnit.

Třeťák

Ella Fever

Jaké to je, narodit se do klučičího těla, i když jste holka? A jaké to je, začlenit se po roční pauze do středoškolského kolektivu, kde nikoho neznáte? Míša právě nastupuje do třeťáku. Podruhé. Napoprvé to moc nevyšlo. Když se po prázdninách, které strávila intenzivní prací na své proměně, vrátila do lavice, její spolužáci fakt, že jejich spolužák Michal je najednou spolužačka Míša, nezvládli. A tak to Míša zkouší znovu. V nové škole, kde nikdo neví o tom, že je trans, a kde nikoho nezná.

Uncomfortably Happily

Yeon-Sik Hong

Inspired by Yeon-sik Hong’s attempt to move to the country with his partner, Uncomfortably, Happily is the story of a young couple finding their way. Burdened by unmet comics deadlines and high rent, our narrator and his wife know they must make a change. Convinced the absence of traffic noise will ease his writer’s block, our pair welcomes the idea of building a life from scratch. Deciding on a home atop an uninhabited mountain, they excitedly embrace the charms of their new rural existence. From tending to the land and attempting grocery runs through snow, to the complexities of fighting depression in seclusion, the move does not immediately prove to be the golden ticket they’d hoped for, and the silence of the mountain poses as much of an obstacle to output as the sirens of the city. Through it all, though, we see simple pleasures seep in and gain prominence over these commercial, and, often, comparatively trivial worries: the smell of the forest, the calming weight of enveloping snow, and the gratification of a stripped down life making art begin to muffle other concerns. Originally published in Korean to great acclaim and winning the Manhwa Today award, Uncomfortably, Happily uniquely explores our narrator’s inner world. Hong propels the comic with gorgeously detailed yet simple art, sharing the story of two lives unfolding slowly, sometimes uncomfortably, yet ultimately, happily.
