Ok, so you know that book series that you read and fell instantly in love; where you are so immersed with the world and their characters that they feel so real you ; where a character(s) is your book boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse; and you just generally die happy from shock every time it's brought up (or a slightly less exaggerated form of this feeling)?

Yeah, I don't have that.

sniffles then sobs

But I believe it's finally the time to find my own favourite book series! So feel free to drop recommendations or your own favourites. I really don't any preference, so it could be romance, fantasy, adventure, action/crime, e.t.c e.tc...

EDIT: omg, just a few minutes after making this post and already have so many replies. Thank you all! I have made a list of series mentioned and will try and get through it all. Don't be shy to add more: my tbr can never be full (mwahahahahaha)

This is a side note or whatever, but I'm surprised I didn't get popular booktok books as recommendations, as this is what usually floods my feed so I thought that was what everyone was reading lol.

I have been tortured over the books that I've chosen to display my taste in reading ever since I created my profile, and I'm guessing that others probably have this issue too?

I read so many books of so many different genres that it feels like a military strategic endeavour to try and narrow it down to 5 books, I've tried keeping it to my favourite in each genre but even then I love more than 5 genres and choosing which genres I favour the most is difficult.

I've seen some people's profiles who have books that I loved showcased as their favourites and it's made me stop and think "I love that book! Why don't I have it selected?"

And it kinda feels like I'm lying to people who look at and follow my profile because I haven't got the most accurate books to describe my reading tastes.

Anyone else have this problem? Anyone happy with their chosen books? Anyone have any advice for picking your favourite books?

How do you guys find new books to read?? I don’t really trust tiktok or social media because the ones that go viral aren’t for me. Sometimes I scroll on Libby for available books just to try something new. I will also always find new books to read when I go to the bookstore or the library, since I like to wander. Now that I’m on PB, it’s so easy to discover and research new books and I love it!!

just started it and joseph’s narration is getting to me. i know it’s usual for the time period of the book, but i’m trying to read some classics since i think they are important to read and my school was weird and never assigned classics to read. i read here different editions might help but i’m borrowing from libby. i might see if i can just find an audio book despite me never enjoying to get through it and see if that helps.

edit: my god i got the character’s name wrong, i meant mr. lockwood 😭. character names in this are difficult. joseph is still hard to understand though! i just also can’t get behind mr. lockwood’s narration but the audio book IS helping and the link for “translating” is helping with joseph.
