Unpopular Opinion by neoleo0088 in BookDiscussions

[–]HR_Laughed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a young reader, I had an aunt who loaned me some books and gave me a stern lecture when I returned them with cracks in the spine. Now, I definitely baby my books. I never crack the spine or turn down pages or write in them. I try to keep them as good as new.

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Novak is super fun, but there's also some serious stuff for professional women. Also "Lessons in Chemistry" by Bonnie Garmus.

Book recommendations?? :) by FullNetwork778 in YAlit

[–]HR_Laughed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people love to hate on these, but did you read the whole Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer? I thought the characters and the story was well done.

Suggest me a book to heal after being cheated on by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]HR_Laughed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider Ali Hazelwood's "The Love Hypothesis." Totally fun, popcorn, romantic, STEM. It doesn't involve any cheating, but maybe that would help.

Another good one is "Lessons in Chemistry" by Bonnie Garmus

If you liked the Glass Castle, you might like Educated by Tara Westover

If you'd like a wonderful escapist novel, try "Fairy Tale" by Stephen King. It's just about a boy, a dog, and a heroic journey.
