(23f) Going to barns and noble with the hubs tomorrow with a $50 limit and I wanted some good book recommendations.
I've read alot of book series (examples :Hunger games(genuinely love this series tho), divergent, the selection, shadow and bone trilogy, throne of glass, red queen, marked series, a court of thorns and roses, cruel prince series, graceling) just to scratch the surface, and I am genuinely tired of them at this point.
Same plot, same 'weak but Incredibly powerful' female lead, childhood or new character going from enemy who borders on bullying and straight up abuse to lover, bad boy vs. good guy who's secretly the bad one, big war only she can bring peace to, secret evil sister, mulitple boyfriends and cant pick one just yet, Yada Yada Yada….
I want to branch out to something new and really entertaining to read. Not with any of the plots painted above.
I was thinking of branching into horror (saw a recommendation for 'tender is the flesh' on tiktok and will be purchasing that one for sure) but I really want to get into good novels. I like having a story concluded in one book at this point in my life and don't really want to read all the smut hidden in the middle of the books or glorified DV.
I say novel because I can't be bothered to purchase mulitple books to finish a storyline and knowing me I just google the summary for the rest of the series cause I don't like to wait.
I think when I was younger I read a lot as a way of dissociating from my life at home and now that I'm at peace and have gone NC for over 7 years I have no real reason to pick up a book and escape anymore. But I genuinely loved/love to read and want to spark back up that love. So any recommendations from any genre would be so helpful!! Please and thank you
