An introduction to the Horror genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

A collection of the pilot books for popular series, for those of us who love to follow a character's journey for as long as an author will let us! Some of the below series have heavily debated starting points and book read orders--in those cases the pilot was selected based on what seems to be the most popular approach.

I find myself guilty of using the sometimes annoying phrase, “The book is so much better”. What are some of your favorite book to movie adaptations of all time? Any that you feel were even better than the book or just as good? Any movies weren’t as good as the book, but still really good? Any that you were looking forward to but extremely disappointed with? One that comes to mind for me is “The Giver”. It was one of my favorite books growing up, and the movie was so disappointing.

Hi everyone:) I've been really into surrealism and magical realism lately. I absolutely loved Leonora Carrington's The Hearing Trumpet, and I'm a big fan of Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. Also I just read Piranesi from Susanna Clark, and my mind was totally blown away by it. So if you happen to have any good recommendations similar to these, please share:) I'm also particularly interested in female surrealist writers, if you have anyone in mind, I'm all ears (pun intended) 👂🏼Thank you!:)

hi still very new to this app but i want to know if im the only one who will dnf a book for the smallest thing,, most of the books i listen are through audiobooks and if the narrators voice is slightly too high pitched or the characters are annoying ( constantly saying they’re small or just whiny) i immediately stop reading them. soooo I’m quite curious about what makes you all dnd a book hehehe (:

Toxic Not-Quite Romance
Focused on character relationships (canonical or subtextual, romantic or erotic) and where one or more participants knowingly put the others in positions of emotional distress. Who needs enemies when you have an unhealthy charged relationship with that one guy? Content warnings typically include psychological manipulation, dubious consent, and distressing situations. Typically tragedies, but occasionally have something like a happy ending.

Dramatic battles, tense political intrigue, unique world building...and is that maybe some romance I'm sensing? These books are not Romantasy but focus primarily on the SFF elements. Romance is a subplot and may not appear until later in the series, but when it does, you won't be disappointed.
