  • How to make a book cover?

    I just bought a set of H.P Lovecraft books for sale at QBD (nearly 100 bucks off) but I fear that the covers are AI generated. ( here is the set I got) Anyway I don’t want to be looking at a yuck AI cover while reading my lovecraftian horror so I was wondering if anyone knows how to make a book cover that looks like it’s the original cover. Any tips would be appreciated!!🙏🙏

    My book club theme next month is "wildest romance" so I need some inspo to help figure out what to read! Send me all the craziest/weirdest/wildest romances you've read!

    (We've already covered some ice planet Barbarians, mothman romance, and basilisk shapeshifters to give you an idea 😉)

  • Teen book recs

    I'm struggling to keep up with supply and demand, and thought you guys might help! My14 year old loves a good romance, but isn't quite ready for anything sexually explicit. Its really tricky to find stuff that has an engaging enough plot without the 🔥 She's not mad about fantasy either, although enjoyed the first Twilight book. She also loves a good murder!

    To give an idea, her recent faves have been The Naturals series, all the suitable Lynn Painter ones, the Sophie McKenzie Girl, Missing series, A Good Girls Guide to Murder, The Summer of Broken Rules, all the Summer I turned pretty ones, and also all the suitable Holly Jackson ones.

    I've had a good look through the lists but can't see any that fit, but I'm new here so maybe not looking right. I couldn't find a search function in the lists bit. If there is such a list, I'd be grateful to be pointed in the right direction!

    She's currently reading Binding 13 which I've heard has a lil bit going on, but she's gonna skim if it makes her uncomfortable. I also bought her The Fault in Our Stars for xmas which I think will be the same.

    Also just to add - I don't restrict any content, its her personal preference.

  • fiction recs for someone who prefers nonfiction?

    i loved reading fiction as a kid, but as an adult i can only seem to actually finish nonfiction books, like self-help, memoirs, and books about psychology, mental health, or neurodivergence.

    i want to get back into fiction but i'm struggling. i'm currently reading the first book of Blake Crouch's Wayward Pines series, and re-reading Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes (which was a favorite of mine back in the day), but it's slow-going so far. i miss getting so into books that i can't put them down.

    i'd love any recommendations, or even just solidarity from anyone else who might be struggling with the same thing! ❤️

  • Horror/Thriller book recs

    Hi! So I really want something that will scare me and make me want to stay in my bed incase of a "monster." That's is the easiest way I can describe it. Paranormal, small town, anything like that. Preferably first person. Please help!

  • Thoughts On Acotar/Sarah J maas as a whole

    I want to know everyone's thoughts on Acotar/Sarah J maas, because I personally heavily dislike both the series and the author very much (and this isn't to shame anyone for liking it or anything, this is my opinion) And I do need to preface this by saying, I have never fully read the books, but from what I read/researched online was enough to turn me away from them. Starting with the whole map within Acotar is based off the map of England/Ireland. Ireland being "Hybern", Hybern within the world is evil/vilified by Sarah J Maas. I've seen multiple people, including Irish people speak about this, and I have to say, I agree. I'm not Irish, but it's so very odd that she uses Irish mythology and profits off of it while depicting Ireland like this. This is only one problem I have found that I have with Sarah J Maas, I just want to know everyone's thoughts?
