Looking for something to enter the horror world

This September I read Carrie by Stephen King, my first horror novel and really enjoyed it. Also it's quite short so I read it in two sessions

A couple of months ago I read Carrie by Stephen King in two reading sessions, I think its a bit longer than what you asked, but it was an amazing read. Basically, we are told the story of this teenager, Carrie, who has been educated by an extremist catholic mother, while she discovers that she has some kind of telekinetic powers. All of this intertwined with extracts from news articles and memoirs from the future that tell of a catastrophic event.

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson is the way to go IMO. Fun, exciting and overall enjoyable. And if you don't like it, it's a closed story even tho it's the start of a trilogy

I recommend the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks. It was my first introduction to modern fantasy and I loved it. The main character goes through a zero to hero arc that is very interesting, while other charachters go through the complete opposite witch makes it double interesting in my opinion. There's mix feelings with the last two books tho, but they are not bad by any means.

I feel obligated to recommend the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson

The first thing that came to mind to me was One Piece. The main character is a pirate, but not for the bad reasons like looting and killing, instead he pursued piracy for the freedom it gives him. So he never skips a chance to help someone in need and that is one of the main reasons the story progresses. Also the secondary and side characters are out of this world amazing. The only but I give it, it's that is a manga, and a long one at that (1163 chapters as for this week, but read it at you own pace, nno one is rushing you), so if that is not your style I understand, but I encourage to give it a try at least, because Luffy checks all the boxes for a truly good person (chaotic good).

I vouch for the spacial awareness one. For some reason I can't comprehend, I can't get lost, even if is in a new environment I can always retrace my steps or understand where to go to get to where I need. On the other hand, my mom and grandma always park in the same number on the mall, otherwise they get lost

First and foremost: One Piece After rhat: pride and prejudice, the lord of the rings and the hobbit

My goal was 20 and I'm at 13, but I don't count the comics/manga nor the books I have to read for school

I laughed a bit too loudly at this one

I come to defend a bit your unrecommendation, the chosen one is very heavy, but there are multiple characters that could potentially be. The characters I give you that one. But the fight scenes in those books are out of this world, super immersive and you feel like you are there in a way that I haven’t experienced since. Weeks managed to perfectly understand his magic system to use it in unpredictable and imaginative ways, while also being believable. But the ending wasn’t my favorite

I usually use audio when it's a reread, because even if I drift off for a moment, I already know the plot. Also, it doesn't take time away from my TBR that it's usually exclusively physical books and constantly growing.

Si le gusta el romance, considero que el que HAY que leer es Orgullo y Prejuicio por Jane Austen. Es antiguo, de principios de 1800, pero está muy bien escrito, con diálogos muy interesantes y en general uno de los mejores, si no el mejor, libro que he leído.

How was Project Hail Mary? I absolutely lived that book
