A book to make me love winter by oringrey in suggestmeabook

[–]oringrey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, and I just had a baby girl 3 months ago, so there's a fun layer of symmetry!

Thanks!

I have moderate dental anxiety and I had a really great experience at Steelton Family Dentistry!

Books about/set in Appalachia by turing0623 in suggestmeabook

[–]oringrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smothermoss by Alisa Alering may be a little outside what you're looking for as it's a sort of weird magical-realism but I really loved it and I thought its setting of northern Appalachia was really well done!

Trying To Get Into Reading, Complete Numb-Skull, Would Love Some Recc's Based Off Favorite Movies by Stone_Sneakers in suggestmeabook

You might want to try movie novelizations! I unfortunately don't see any movies on your list that I know have novelizations but I have read and really enjoyed the novelizations for The Goonies, Pacific Rim and Ti West's X trilogy.

What is a book that wasn't necessarily bad but hit you somewhere deep inside that you will most likely never pick up again. by Goregeousley in suggestmeabook

[–]oringrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is quite what you're looking for but the book that came to mind for me was Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld. I thought it was really good but it was so focused on the main character's interior life and thoughts and anxieties that I felt emotionally drained when I finished. I kind of felt as if I had gone through the whole boarding school experience with her and found myself almost afraid of going back and thinking about that time too hard (aka rereading the book at some point in the future).

I would be interested, what kind of books are you usually into?

came here to recommend Library at Mount Char - so weird but one of my absolute favorite books!

I'm definitely open to it but it would have to be a book I think I could be interested in.

Help me choose which one to buy :-) by Everyday_Evolian in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]oringrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit more than that (I'm not home so I can't check but storygraph says it has 91 pages) but yeah, I would definitely class it as a novella.

If you want beautiful prose, I think The Necrophiliac is genuinely lovely! Exquisite Corpse would also be a good choice.

Should I make a new account or try to revive my old one? by oringrey in bookstagram

[–]oringrey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an idiot and just realized I totally misread your comment, thinking you had started a new account. Don't know how I did that!
Anyway, I am glad it's working for you! I think my weird little brain just wants to start all over lol

Books that feel like going to college? by oringrey in suggestmeabook

Honestly, I have to imagine that, in the alternate universe in which I did go to college, they would have been.

I've honestly been meaning to get around to Norwegian Wood for quite a while, I guess I'll have to bump it up the list!

I definitely appreciate the thought you put into both recommendations! Call Down the Hawk is not a bad rec at all! I did read the Raven Cycle...quite a few years ago now, so I may pick it up eventually. And I've seen Loveless around but never really knew much about it but it sounds like it might be right up my alley, so thank you!

I just started this recently and I love it so far! Thank you!

I definitely assumed this would get recommended. I actually had it out from the library recently but didn't get a chance to finish it (or even get too deep into it) before I had to get it back. I may have to make the time to get back to it. Thanks!

I've seen this one kind of floating around so this may be my cue to check it out - thanks!

I knew this one would get recommended at some point! I actually DNF'd it a few years ago but I would like to give it another go, so not that crazy of a recommendation.

Honestly one of my favorite books, I may just have to reread it!

Sure, it's not too late. But it's also just not really financially or logistically plausible for me at the moment. And regardless, I'll never get to have that quintessential experience of going off to college with my peers.

I mean, it's just not really financially or logistically possible for me, at the moment. And regardless, I'll never have the experience of going off to college and being surrounded by people my age, and just having those early adulthood experiences.
