Nonfiction Recommendations?

I have been reading literary fiction, historical novels, classics, and fantasy for a long time, but I have recently started getting into nonfiction. I just graduated with a degree in environmental science, so I have a particular interest in anything nature/biology related, as well as historical nonfiction. If anyone has some recommendations that aren't too heavy for someone who is new to nonfiction, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass, #5)

Sarah J. Maas

Kingdoms will collide. The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the horizon. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those who don't. With her heart sworn to the warrior-prince by her side, and her fealty pledged to the people she is determined to save, Aelin will delve into the depths of her power to protect those she loves. But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, and dark forces become poised to claim her world, the only chance for salvation will lie in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear. In this breathtaking fifth installment of the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series, Aelin will have to choose what—and who—to sacrifice if she's to keep the world of Erilea from breaking apart.

Stuck in a reading slump – send me your best recs!

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm currently stuck in a big reading slump; I haven’t finished a book since May. Right now I’m in the middle of exam season, but to lift my spirits a bit, I want to start putting together a list of books I can look forward to once exams are over (mid-August)! I already have a few books on my TBR, but I’d love to hear your suggestions, too! Here’s what I tend to enjoy: - Fantasy (especially cozy or atmospheric reads) - Classics (I love the vibe of older literature!) - A bit of crime/mystery now and then - Romance is okay, but not if it's the main focus (and please no instalove 🙈) If you have any favorite comfort reads, hidden gems, or books that helped you get out of a slump, I’d be so happy to hear them! Thanks everyone ☺️

I cannot give this book anything less than five stars because the moment I turned the final page, I simply stared at the ceiling trying to process the raging tumult of my feelings. Somehow, Juhea Kim managed to fill each page with crystalized emotions: passionate romance, heroic courage, shattering tragedy and heartbreaks that not simply broke a person, but remade them. Her writing was engulfing, sucking me into the lives of characters who existed in a very real world. This book was everything historical fiction should be and more.

Beasts of a Little Land

Juhea Kim

In 1917, deep in the snowy mountains of occupied Korea, an impoverished local hunter on the brink of starvation saves a young Japanese officer from an attacking tiger. In an instant, their fates are connected—and from this encounter unfolds a saga that spans half a century. In the aftermath, a young girl named Jade is sold by her family to Miss Silver’s courtesan school, an act of desperation that will cement her place in the lowest social status. When she befriends an orphan boy named JungHo, who scrapes together a living begging on the streets of Seoul, they form a deep friendship. As they come of age, JungHo is swept up in the revolutionary fight for independence, and Jade becomes a sought-after performer with a new romantic prospect of noble birth. Soon Jade must decide whether she will risk everything for the one who would do the same for her. From the perfumed chambers of a courtesan school in Pyongyang to the glamorous cafes of a modernizing Seoul and the boreal forests of Manchuria, where battles rage, Juhea Kim’s unforgettable characters forge their own destinies as they wager their nation’s. Immersive and elegant, Beasts of a Little Land unveils a world where friends become enemies, enemies become saviors, heroes are persecuted, and beasts take many shapes.

AI is the problem to everything!😔

AI is destroying every place for readers and writers,this is really upsetting to see.Apps like Goodreads uses AI,which isn't cool.AI shouldn't be in the book space!That's the reason l love Page bound,it's AI-free and everyone here are kind and helpful!This is a safe place for readers and writers.Also l found out that Google Docs are using our stories to train AI,this shouldn't be allowed.Writers spent hours to create those stories and give them life.AI can't and shouldn't take the creativity of the writers.That's also why l had to delete all my hard work(dw l have them in my notes app,at least for now)I used to use Google Docs to write but now l don't use it anymore.I don't want my stories to be used to train AI.＞︿＜ ->Does anyone know any apps like Google Docs but its AI-free?💗
