I am looking for book recommendations that can resonate with different moods and/or interests. I’m open to reading anything. Please feel free to share your suggestions. Thank you. by emblem_tulip Related: Spicy crime/thriller Trying to expand my artistic horizons, looking for a philosophically gripping book with a confident artistic vision! Y/A Fantasy/Sci-Fi books without magic? I feel like I can’t get into fiction anymore, I want to be proven wrong. Do you know of any interesting books where the author shares his views on the world or some interesting topic, sort of like a podcast.
