do ya'll have any good book reccomendations?

Hi bookworms, I'm in need for an amazing 5-star book that i cannot put down and is absolutely fenominal. I'm open to all sorts of genres, but i love fantasy, romance, dystopian, ect. I'm also looking for some good books that have the same vibes as Binding 13, or Fourth Wing or Divine Rivals (real big difference of genre, but im honestly open for all). Maybe a good autumn-vibe book i can read with some good tea and a blanket

Let me know what ya'll come up with! xx

The Striker (Gods of the Game, #1)

Ana Huang

She's the only woman he wants...and the only one he can't have. Asher Donovan is a living legend—the darling of the Premier League, the (arguably) greatest footballer in the world. But his reckless antics and recent team transfer have caused much controversy, and when his feud with his rival-turned-teammate costs them a championship, they’re forced to “bond” during off-season cross-training. Surviving the summer shouldn’t be hard…until Asher meets their new trainer. She’s beautiful, talented, and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t take his mind off her. The only problem? She’s his rival’s sister—and completely off limits. *** Scarlett DuBois is a former prima ballerina whose career was cut short by a tragic accident. Now a teacher at a prestigious dance academy but still haunted by the ghosts of her past, the last thing she wants is to spend the summer cross-training Asher Donovan, of all people . She swore she would never date a footballer, but when her brother leaves town for an emergency, she finds herself thrown into dangerously close proximity with the gorgeous, charming striker. Training, she can deal with. But falling in love? That’s out of the question—especially when he’s the only person with the power to break her heart.

4.0

Enjoyment: 3.0Quality: 3.5Characters: 5.0Plot: 2.5

I liked it, but i didn’t love it. the first book was super interesting and had me hooked. the second kind of disappointed and i expected a bit more storyline except “gods are fighting again”. it started out really good and interesting, but at around 60% it started getting same-same and kinda boring…it’s a good read if you want a slow fantasy that doesn’t have huge characters development. BUTTT- i did love the romance and the pure love Roman and Iris have for eachother! that was always a blessing to read

Funny Story

Emily Henry

A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common. Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra. Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak. Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them? But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?

Loren Hale’s best friend is his bottle of bourbon. Lily comes at a close second. For three years, they’ve pretended to be in a real relationship, hiding their addictions from their families. They’ve mastered the art of concealing flasks and random guys that filter in and out of their apartment. But as they sink beneath the weight of their addictions, they cling harder to their destructive relationship and wonder if a life together, for real, is better than a lie. Strangers and family begin to infiltrate their guarded lives, and with new challenges, they realize they may not just be addicted to alcohol and sex. Their real vice may be each other.

Getting into reading

How do you guys got into reading? Everyone has a different story as to how they ended up with reading as a hobby and I’m very curious to hear it 😄

I’ll go first!

I always liked reading. From a young age I’d read everything I could. Except I live in a place where buying books isn’t really easy, so I was never reading the books I really wanted to read and I’d always reread times and times again the same books I had. Among the first book I read as a child to give you an example, was the fall of the Ottoman Empire😅. Quite heavy for a kid, right?

When I got into middle and high school, I’d borrow books from the school library and I had so much fun. That’s where I read my first book by Agatha Christie and I instantly fell in love with thrillers and such. Eventually I ran out of books to borrow and the books we would study in school were always super boring so my hobby kinda disappeared. I didn’t have the motivation to read anymore.

Later on, I had friends who bought books and brought them to school ( coming from booktok so mainly dark romance books that kids aren’t supposed to read ) and everyone would borrow them so when my turn came I had very little time to finish them. I read the first two volumes of Bridgerton in a single day 🤓 I’m very proud of that one!! But then I wouldn’t really have the time to enjoy them and it wouldn’t be my books anyway so I count pick ones I really liked. Again, I lost the motivation to read.

Until I decided to read them online 🤩 I had access to pdfs of almost every type of book I wanted. I started with god of fury I think 😅 and then the prison healer trilogy and I haven’t stopped since 🤗🤗

Now it’s something I really enjoy doing in my free time

Nova has a reason to hate the Renegades, and she is on a mission for vengeance. As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice — and in Nova.

Better than the Movies (Better than the Movies, #1)

Lynn Painter

In this rom-com about rom-coms, in the spirit of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, a hopeless romantic teen attempts to secure a happily-ever-after moment with her forever crush, but finds herself reluctantly drawn to the boy next door. Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he’s back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar - and maybe snag him as a prom date - even befriend Wes Bennet. The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for romantic-comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in. But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love - and rethink her own ideas of what happily ever after should look like.

Seraphina (Seraphina, #1)

Rachel Hartman

Librarian's note: There is an Alternate Cover Edition for this edition of this book here. Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty's anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high. Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered—in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the captain of the Queen's Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs. While they begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect her own secret, the secret behind her musical gift, one so terrible that its discovery could mean her very life. In her exquisitely written fantasy debut, Rachel Hartman creates a rich, complex, and utterly original world. Seraphina's tortuous journey to self-acceptance is one readers will remember long after they've turned the final page.

most underrated YA book i have ever read

this book is a masterpiece intertwined with poems, struggles, mental health issues, love, and grief. i did not expect this book to be this great. i do not understand why this book isn't more popular! not only does it explore OCD but also the way it can vary in different people. also shining a bright light on how the brain can cope with trama, and how writing or creating tiny poem masterpieces can help you get through the darkest of times. i reccomend this to anyone who wants to read an emotional, beautifully written book that shows the reader what it's like to live with a mental illness.

5 big fat stars!
