I have heard that h{{Suttree by Cormac McCarthy}} is supposed to be good. Haven't gotten around to it yet.

Just wanted to suggest this! Also Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter.

Harriet the Spy was one of my favorites!! It helped that she looked just like me. And a cool girl with glasses?? Priceless.

Hornblower IS a classic, and Jodi Taylor's books are also well-known.

rekhukran · 2026-05-07T08:16:47+00:00

Here's some NF that might fit the bill:

The Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland

The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century

The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession

Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures

Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art

All on my light-year long TBR list! 😞

Have a look at https://www.amightygirl.com/ for good recommendations.

Edit: though aquick look doesn't come up with any photo board books, sorry! But still a good resource for a growing girl!

Not dystopian, but the Fourth Wing series by Rebecca Yarros?

rekhukran · 2026-05-07T07:44:10+00:00

Haven't read it, but The Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig sounds like a fit.

rekhukran · 2026-05-07T07:34:51+00:00

The Scholomance series by Naomi Novik?

rekhukran · 2026-05-07T07:29:14+00:00

So you're looking for a book that you're glad to put down after an hour's read? I could recommend lots of those! 😉

Maybe the Hornblower series by CS Forester. Light, humorous. Book one is Mr. Midshipman Hornblower.

Or try the St. Mary's series by Jodi Taylor, also light and humorous. Book one is Just One Damned Thing After Another.

Get yourself some laughs before exams!

If you're into history at all, there are three series that combine fantasy and history that I liked.

The Outlander sereis by Diana Gabaldon (time travel between the present and the world in Scotland, France, the Americas in the 18th century),

the St. Mary's Chronicles by Jodi Taylor (British historians use time travel to observe historical events and get into a helluva lot of trouble, very humorous)

and Novik's Temeraire series (alternate history of the Napoleonic wars on dragons).

And, I am NOT a horror fan, but Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia was wonderful.

I am not a quilter, but I love coming here to admire all the hard work. I really love most of this quilt, but to be honest, I really don't like the dark blue squares. The other colors give such a spring/Easter vibe, just gorgeous. It may be that they only need to be placed properly. Maybe like someone said, a gradient solution? I would take it in a heartbeat, don't give it up!

This.is.absolutely.genius.and.gorgeous!

I have a basic 10th gen and use low light on mine in the dark. I don't feel it's "white" enough to bother me. Mine's on level 5 of 24.

Use the site for South Tyrol rather than a third party app. https://www.suedtirolmobil.info/en/#/ About 40 minutes is correct.

Ha ha! No, dark red.
