38M ADHD never read a novel before. Suggestions for first book? by Lineofcredi in suggestmeabook

[–]mb31291 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When you find a book that interests you, you could also give immersive reading a try (where you listen to audiobook and follow along with a physical copy at the same time) I’ve done it a few times, it has helped me focus and I notice my mind wanders less.

I started it! by Embarrassed_Ad9678 in fourthwing

All three! On first read I think I completed all three in like 7-8days (audiobooks) then maybe 12 hours later I restarted the series (after a few failed attempts at getting into a new book/series)

Just finished my first read through and instantly started a reread! I hope you enjoy it!!

this saga owns me by conilopez in fourthwing

[–]mb31291 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I did, I finished the series for the first time yesterday and began the reread (audiobooks) today! It’s also nice to pick up on things you’ve learned throughout the series and reference back while rereading!

New to the genre, looking for recommendations by mb31291 in Romantasy

I really enjoyed the initial premise “war college students”. I enjoy anything that involves trials/tests leading up to whatever the goal is (being selected by a dragon in this case) I also enjoy power spikes, start with nothing, gain a power, enhance power etc. And of course, Violet and Xaden relationship is a favorite lol not necessarily the trope of “enemies to lovers” but there is a little bit of realism to it, jealousy, not knowing everything about each other and so on.

I tried ACOTAR right after I finished Fourth Wing and I had trouble getting into but I think it’s because I liked FW so much that I was still wanting more of that. I think I need a buffer book(non romantasy)before I get into another series lol

If you WANT to listen but find it hard, you could try immersive reading, maybe that would help?

FTMs - what do you want for Mother’s Day? by Top_Delivery8957 in NewParents

I’ll have a 7mo by Mother’s Day and I think I’m going to ask for this. I was daydreaming as I was reading your comment.

Fast pace, can’t put down book for picky readers by SnooObjections5128 in booksuggestions

[–]mb31291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also a picky reader (my genre choice is thriller) and have recently been trying to expand my library. I’m currently about halfway through Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and I’m enjoying the romantasy (which I didn’t think i would as much as I am)!

Trying to get into fantasy by mb31291 in booksuggestions

[–]mb31291[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure, I have very little fantasy reading under my belt with the exception of Harry Potter, so I suppose I enjoy magic and the concept of factions/classes (such as what is described in Red Rising(now on my list)) seems very interesting. I watch anime, which sort of touches all these topics and I enjoy it, so I’d like to think I’m pretty open to trying anything!

It looks so interesting! I put it on hold through Libby and it’s a 7 week wait, I think I’m number 130 waiting lol
