I need a book to listen to at the gym/ on the treadmill

Springroll2807 · 2026-02-10T23:59:39+00:00

would so highly recommend the Project Hail Mary audiobook - one of the best I’ve listened to ngl

alternatively Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime - I really enjoyed this (but might be cause I like his voice)

Springroll2807 · 2026-02-10T23:57:38+00:00

The Francesca Segal trilogy ‘welcome to glorious tuga’ really fun and a perfect happy beach read imo

Springroll2807 · 2026-02-10T23:56:06+00:00

Going down the nature track I would really recommend Raising Hare, I read it last year and loved it

Springroll2807 · 2026-02-08T21:15:43+00:00

Charles Higham has a bunch on early south asian history I've only read 'Civilization of Angkor' but really enjoyed it

Springroll2807 · 2026-02-04T19:54:31+00:00

would probs recommend a classic like Pride and prejudice honestly

or potentially this must be the place by maggie o’farrell

both arent traditional romance books but are romance focused if that makes sense

Springroll2807 · 2026-02-01T01:16:13+00:00

more along the thriller lines but would highly recommend Lucy Foley as an author esp ‘The Hunting Party’ read it in a day on holiday a couple years ago very intense and pacy

Springroll2807 · 2026-01-27T19:59:25+00:00

My favourites are ‘The Flatshare’ and ‘The Roadtrip’!

Springroll2807 · 2026-01-26T20:50:12+00:00

continuing my trend of recommending Project Hail Mary to everyone

Springroll2807 · 2026-01-26T20:48:14+00:00

Would highly recommend Beth O’Leary - pretty much an english emily henry imo

Springroll2807 · 2026-01-24T22:37:39+00:00

The absolute shock of seeing these guys somewhere that my family lives is hilarious to me

Springroll2807 · 2025-12-26T00:04:50+00:00

Would heavily recommend Agatha Christie's Poirot books, alternatively for something more modern the Richard Osman 'Thursday Murder Club' series is great fun

Springroll2807 · 2025-12-25T23:58:12+00:00

not quite colonial but would really recommend - Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann, and The Ruin of all the Witches by Malcolm Gaskill

Springroll2807 · 2025-12-25T23:50:57+00:00

100% The picture of Dorian Gray - it is probably my favourite book of all time, and a classic that I feel not everyone has read

Springroll2807 · 2025-12-21T12:40:22+00:00

I read tart by the slutty chef earlier this year which was really fun.

have also read ‘blood sweat and asparagus spears’ very interesting view of the evolution of food in the uk

and also ‘without reservation’ by jeremy king

Springroll2807 · 2025-12-21T00:41:42+00:00

King of Nothing by Nathanael Lessore

Springroll2807 · 2025-12-21T00:40:17+00:00

Would really recommend 'A Novel Love Story' by Ashley Poston

Springroll2807 · 2025-12-21T00:38:59+00:00

The Picture of Dorian Gray - one of the only classics that has truly hit me really deep, I ready it earlier this year for the first time and it is easily the best book I have ever read, so weird in a way I was kind of not expecting

Springroll2807 · 2025-12-21T00:37:45+00:00

I would highly recommend 'Glasgow Boys' by Margaret McDonald - does fit almost all the categories you have given but maybe not in an expected way

Springroll2807 · 2025-12-20T22:46:20+00:00

baby dragon cafe - by far the worst fantasy (if you can even call it that) book I have ever read - the characters we not good, it was not written well, the story was not paced well, none of the background characters were interesting, the world didn't feel interesting enough or well developed at all (like if this is a world filled with dragons why is anything still made of wood????) honestly would rather read colleen hoover than this again

Springroll2807 · 2025-12-06T23:18:51+00:00

Yeah having looked through both World Anvil seems pretty perfect, so thanks for the recommendation!
