I've been a long time reader, and have read many Classics over my life, both for school and on my own. Last year I decided to make a list of books I would like to pick up, but I feel like I'm missing some, so I'd love to hear what Classics people enjoy. Especially Fantasy and Sci Fi books, as lists of those seem harder to find.

I love thick books. I’m taking page counts out of this world. Chunky, rotund, obtuse. Take up an obnoxious amount of space on your shelf. Break your wrists they’re so unwieldy.

Sometimes content wise they could be shorter.

But what are your hefty book recs?

I’ve read the Stormlight Archive, more recently Alchemized, and I just bought Priory of the Orange Tree.

Hi all! I am back again with another TikTok trend I’ve seen and it’s where they list 10 books they’d love to get to before the end of the year!

I don’t think I have 10 books that I absolutely need to read before the year is over but here are a few:

- The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo - Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo (re-reads!) - Ninth House/Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo (re-reads even though I already did a re-read of Ninth House earlier this year 😂) - East of Eden by John Steinbeck - Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

So that’s 7 books for me! What about you guys? 🥰

look i know i'm ahead of the game, but i know there are also some fellow planners out there... i just love filling up the planning feature :)

any good winter/december/christmas must reads out there? i'm really not picky, just want something to cozy up to

hi everyone, I was just sitting here planning my next visit to barnes & noble hehehe and wanted to know what’s going to be your next book purchase? how do you go about picking the physical books you buy? have you ever returned a book? what’s the most you’ve spent at a book store at once? yes I’m nosy !!!

( doesn’t have to be barnes & noble it could be any book store! )

I will be buying mate by ali hazelwood, love is a war song by danica nava, the twilight deluxe hardcover 25th anniversary set, and hopefully browse some other books as well 🧚🏼‍♀️

The List feature on here is such a fun way for individual users to curate collections for the community, but I feel that it can sometimes be hard for well-made lists to receive traction - especially if they come from users with less followers! - so I wanted to take a moment to create a thread for people to shout-out their favorite lists made by other people which have 10 upvotes or less. I'd love to hear about why you like the lists, too! & if we get enough posts on this thread, I'll link them all into this top post so it'll be a little repository for the future

Here are some of mine:

The Gauntlet by @Piranesi (5 upvotes) - What with all the talk of 'personal curriculums' that have been floating around, this is such a timely list! The basic premise of this list is to read books which increase in difficulty as you go. We start with PJO The Lightning Thief and end with The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa, with titles such as The Princess Bride by William Goldman, Beloved by Toni Morrison, Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov, and The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner in between. The gamified aspect of "leveling up" as you go is super fun and engaging, and I personally think it's really cool that it's like we have our own English teacher/prof curating a syllabus for us!

Fantasy and organized crime by @cetra (6 upvotes) - One of my favorite niches in the vast realm of fantasy in general, this is a small by diverse list of fantasy that involves criminal underworlds, con artists, rival families, and shadowy assassins set in worlds that bring in the magic and wonder we expect from fantasy.

castlevania type beat by @thetravellingcat (4 upvotes) - I devoured the show (both the original and Nocturne) on Netflix earlier this year, so I thought it was really fun that someone had put together a book list for it on here! Classic medieval/gothic/horror vampire vibes, romance included but optional

Intro Poetry - Taste Finder by @Avalon (8 upvotes) - I feel like people don't talk about poetry as much on here, it was cool to see that someone had started putting together lists for poetry collections. This list touches upon a variety of themes and authors as a way to help provide a "gateway" to finding other poets who resonate with you

Non fiction science books for bio/chem/phys/med by @Wolkenlaeuferin (7 upvotes) - A fun list of non-fiction books centered on natural science topics, from my personal favorite niche (nature non-fic) to topics like the chemistry of money and cancer and coding/computer programming. I enjoy the range of topics in this list, and I think it's a well-curated collection to get started with reading about non-fiction that's interesting

Just read the scene about Mr. Collins’s marriage proposal to Lizzy Bennet and I couldn’t stop laughing because a) his word choice just made me mad, and b) I couldn’t stop myself from experiencing second hand embarrassment for Lizzy.
