What is one of your book icks that you feel like you haven't seen others talk about? Like things so unique to you and your tastes?
For me its rich boy ennui. Books that touch on just how hard it is to be so rich you don't know what to do with your life. Even when I know that is part of the story and the message, I just can't stand it. Examples of this include The Great Gatsby, Dorian Gray, The Secret History. It kinda sucks because I like the dark academia vibe but hate the ennui. It can be hard to find dark academia without rich boy ennui.

The best thing the author did with this book is to describe Wanderer's point of view. It was so good that it left me screaming to hear Melanie's voice during more than half of the story. That's my only real complaint... I needed more flashbacks about Melanie, more dialogues between her and Wanda, more recognition from the people who knew her as a human, and a scene in the end only between her and Wanda... overall, I wanted more Melanie. And that's why Jared is so important. Where are my Jared stans at? Please, the only rewiews I've read that mention him, hate him. (To all the Wanda lovers... I'm just going to say "knife point" at the end... tell me he does not deserve all the love as a character.) He really just needed a hug through the first 300 pages. I've already flooded the forum about this, tho. I do not mind the slow start, this is a book, not tik tok, I enjoy my attention span, and those hundred pages really got me into a new world ✨ This is a post apocalyptic, scifi story, so mind you, your moral compass will be challenged, as it should... you don't have to agree with everything you read. Overall, a very good story about what it means to be human, about grief, loss, hope and... well... love ♥️

I've been wondering how people "cast" the characters in the books they read... I mean... how do you decide what faces they have in your mind? Do you picture actors, people you know, or do you invent new faces, or maybe you imagine cartoons? If the book got a movie adaptation it's easier, but do you stay loyal to that? Personally, I picture a lot of actors and people I know, usually based on the description provided, even if sometimes I change some details (Jace Wayland was always brunette in my head for example 😅). Sometimes I get really proud of my casting, I'm not going to lie ☺️

I need some suggestions about fantasy books where there is real female rage. I want maybe a FMC so badass and so powerful. I saw there's a quest similar but it doesn't have fantasy books. Thank you to everyone who'll answer.

Lately I’ve been lamenting the fact that part of growing up means your books don’t have as many beautiful pictures. Not that I need them to understand the story, but I genuinely love looking at them. 👩🏽🎨
What are some adult books you know of that have really stunning covers and/or interior illustrations? Special editions absolutely count, but I’m also curious about standard editions. I just want something that feels visually beautiful as well as readable. ✨

✨ if you still believe Fantasy is alive ✨
✨ These are modern fantasy books that I'd give everything to read for the first time again ✨ From someone who does not trust fantasy shelves in bookshops anymore

So there's this huge post here for readers around the world, but It's lagging so much for me and I seem to mostly see people from the USA and Canada, so here's one for my European fellows🌟 Which country are you from/live in? I'm from Lithuania!🇱🇹🦅🦅🦅
