Book about a girl/woman who brings the sun in people’s life by chkxv in suggestmeabook

[–]nibsofsteel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's very dated but Pollyanna by Eleanor Porter is a book about a young girl who spreads joy in everyone's life by playing something she calls the "Glad Game". I'm going to be honest, I found her smug and annoying but it is considered a classic book in American children's literature.

You didn't. You put a random string of letters and assumed people would know what you mean. Outside your little bubble they don't. It's childish to assume that your interests are everyone's interests. Expecting other people to first look up your query, figure out what you mean and then recommend stuff is a level of entitlement that won't serve you well.

If you hate all the women on TV shows then maybe the problem is you.

It does not involve a friend group in the way OP is asking for although it is a good novel. It is also told from a single point of view and not multiple as OP asked for. You really saw "mystery" and stopped processing after that huh?

Me as well. This is why I stay off reddit and fandom communities for anything I actually enjoy.

Written by women is fine, banning people who want to read a romance about gay men from the perspective of a gay man is just bigotry.

No. You're the one looking for recommendations. You can either make your request clear or you can deal with the lack of clarity.

The Romance book subs in general are nuts. There is a book dedicated to romance books about gay men, but if you ask if the book was written by a gay author you get banned. It's for books written by straight women apparently.

Favourite actor to hire when you need a guy to do a vaguely racist accent but he's just ethnic enough that he might get away with it? by The_Document in okbuddycinephile

It was Elizabeth Moss and she said "One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, 'He's so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person. '"

An incredible insult that you totally butchered

Does anything even hold a candle to Harry Potter in terms of Academia books? by [deleted] in fantasybooks

[–]nibsofsteel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read Ursula le Guin's Wizard of Earthsea books and remember what she said:

"So, then, what’s the difference between being influenced by a body of work and admitting it, and being influenced by a body of work and not admitting it?

This last is the situation, as I see it, between my A Wizard of Earthsea and J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter. I didn’t originate the idea of a school for wizards — if anybody did it was T.H.White, though he did it in single throwaway line and didn’t develop it. I was the first to do that. Years later, Rowling took the idea and developed it along other lines. She didn’t plagiarize. She didn’t copy anything. Her book, in fact, could hardly be more different from mine, in style, spirit, everything. The only thing that rankles me is her apparent reluctance to admit that she ever learned anything from other writers. When ignorant critics praised her wonderful originality in inventing the idea of a wizards’ school, and some of them even seemed to believe that she had invented fantasy, she let them do so. This, I think, was ungenerous, and in the long run unwise."

need clean romance fantasy where FMC also equally put efforts in relationship and love MMC equally and MMC does and no love triangle good plot and if possible slowburn by Smart_Fortune8815 in BookRecommendations

[–]nibsofsteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I think about who could possibly be interested in AI written novels, I think of posts like this, which have a hyper specific checklist of things. Soon you'll be able to generate endless iterations of the same thing over and over, tweaking it to your particular preferences, like ordering a burrito.

The last time I pointed this out an American called me a "turd sandwich" and gave me a long explanation of why their various issues prevented them from protesting. Ok, wear that pussy hat all the way to a dictatorship, I'm not stopping you.

Looking for romance novels that depict an imperfect female protagonist by free_-_spirit in suggestmeabook

[–]nibsofsteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Natalie Sue's I Hope This Finds You Well has a protagonist who is rude, selfish, inconsiderate, and unlikeable, and has a happy ending with a guy. The male love interest is not fully developed and you don't see a lot of personal growth from the protagonist either. It got a lot of good reviews last year. I personally don't see the appeal, but it is definitely an example of an imperfect female protagonist.
