I've been trying a "Read 100 Books in a Year" challenge for the last couple of years and I am hoping you all might be able to help me with some recommendations. I can visualize everything I read and the more books I've read this year, the more I've realized that the more descriptive an author is, the more I like the book. I can see the events of the story play out in my mind's eye quite vividly. It can be like watching a movie. I've DNF'd countless books that just didn't give me enough to work with, if that makes sense. I know that a lot of people find excessive and/or continuous descriptions to be tedious and unpleasant, but I need that to enjoy a book. Otherwise, instead of watching a movie, it's like watching a bunch of disconnected clips that haven't been edited together into a cohesive video. I like nearly all genres of fiction, except really graphic slasher horror and the "this book is just spice, not story" types. The descriptions don't necessarily need to be a second-by-second narration of a character's monotonous moments, like in American Psycho, although that is on my TBR for curiosity's sake. This year I read The Bear and the Nightingale (which I loved so much I bought the trilogy) and The Starless Sea (which is on my To-Buy list), both of which I got from Reddit recommendations. I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy every year and Rebecca Horsfall's Dancing on Thorns is one of my favorite books. Interestingly, I loved reading Fight Club, which I found rather lacking in visuals but I think because I've watched the movie so many times my mind sort of filled in the blanks which made for a fun read. If you experience books like I do, I'd love to try the books that really stand out to you. Thank you in advance!
