A Court of Thorns and Roses (series)

It is an incredible read and got me back into reading, it is so immersive and you feel as if you are actually part of the book itself it is truly amazing.

Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Buy this book

It’s such a popular and well known one now! But I love this book for getting me back into reading, and sparking the excitement in me, that I felt when I was younger reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. It’s a great read and a great starter book to get into the romantasy genre, complex grey characters and enemies to lovers trope.

Aga

Girl, Goddess, Queen

by Bea Fitzgerald | Buy this book

I am not normally a fan of mythology retellings but this gripped me from the start. I would say it is more of a romance book in a fantasy setting. I enjoyed seeing the relationship develop and the character development of Persephone.

Lauren

Lauren recommends:

A Botanical Daughter

by Noah Medlock | Buy this book

Gothic Victorian setting, the secret and forbidden relationship of a botanist and a taxidermist living in a greenhouse at the bottom of the former's childhood home. The botanist comes into hands of an intelligent mycelium, and wants to test his brilliance, and chance at a traditional family, by seeing if he can create artificial intelligence. However, for this he would need a vessel; preferably humanoid.

Amazing

Dr.Aref

Indulge me, dear friends, as I share a glimpse of my character. I am a young gentleman with an insatiable curiosity and a profound appreciation for the written word. The prospect of joining a book group fills me with delight, for I am convinced that spirited discussions and shared insights elevate the reading experience, enriching our understanding of the narratives we cherish. 📚 Furthermore, I harbor a fervent desire to forge new friendships amidst the tranquil beauty of Bournemouth. Imagine, dear comrades, the joy of companionship as we stroll along the sun-kissed shores, engrossed in heartfelt conversations and the timeless wisdom found within the pages of beloved books. 🌊✨

Jacob

I'm 21, I've always loved books since I was a child. Although, recently I haven't been reading very often I feel if the right book came along I would get back into reading. What better incentive than someone's recommendation.

Michael

I consume a lot of audio books. I complete one book a month...and have about 10 books on the go at any time.... I read a total mixture.... Non fiction and fiction. As varied as Impossible Creatures to Factfulness. I feel like a may have a bookworm in me that is trying to get out... So would like to meet with simarly minded people. Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafron All Ken Follet books Never where by Neil Gaiman Before the Coffee Gets Cold Notes on Grief The Maidens Too name a few I've enjoyed.
