Can anyone recommend some good murder mystery books and some romance books ? And I mean in both genres

[sonic blade]

for romance - it ends with us by colleen hoover, song of achilles by madeline miller, perfect on paper by sophie gonzales (it's YA but really sweet)
for mystery - gone girl (idk i dont read much myster)

[eager yarrow]

Ah thanks

Anybody read murder mysteries?

[cedar vapor]

MEEE I LOVW THEM

agatha christie

[eager yarrow]

SAME

Favourite book?

[cedar vapor]

i’m really basic, i love murder on the orient express

😭

but the plot twist, the structure everything was 10/10

[eager yarrow]

I agree! Mines Towards Zero have you read that one?

[cedar vapor]

i have nottttt

i quite like death in the clouds

[golden vault]

How to avoid climate disaster is great as well

[eager yarrow]

Yes that is good book

[eager yarrow]

Ah Bill Gates, so I'm assuming you like non fiction books? Which topics do you like?

[golden vault]

Yesss, I used to read lots of self help books but rn kinda shifted to fiction novels. I'm into climate change and eating healthy ig, I had read Wheat Belly and went gluten free for few months xx what topics do you like

[eager yarrow]

Cool I read non fiction too sometimes usually self help books or about studying habits or about crime , psychology that stuff usually. What fiction genre do you like?

[golden vault]

Oh did you read Thinking Fast, Slow it's related to psychology and learning.? I started but never finished ://. Umm fictionnn i like young adult genre

[eager yarrow]

I too started yet didn't finish! Which books in young adult?

[golden vault]

Umm had read kiss of deception, the fault in our stars, a very large expance of sea, we hunt the flame...and more.. what about you!

[golden vault]

I saw something really cool once a few months ago

It was a website stored on the internet archive

But I can't load that website anymore

Ok I found it again

@radiant olive https://web.archive.org/web/20020506033911/http://swordofallah.com/html/bookchapter37page1.htm

But Idk if it still works..

It worked all the way back in May

I stumbled upon this whilst studying for islamic igcses xD

IT WORKS

[radiant olive]

I read the article, Khalid bin Walid doesn't pop around much in IGCSE.

Ever read The History of Al Tabari?

History before Islam, Muslim perspective and then Islamic History

https://archive.org/details/history-of-islamic-kingdom-40-volumes-pdf.-7z

Click on 'Show ALL files'

and then click the first link in the picture

[golden vault]

It's a book, also I mean this is a channel for books in general I guess and I just sent it as I found this interesting

I actually did end up finding use for it, because I managed to get details for the battle of yamama in the links on that book online than there were in my coursebook or notes

[golden vault]

Nope

[golden vault]

Nice

[thorn siren]

are there any websites that provide topical question papers or something similar ?

[golden vault]

Yes

[golden vault]

https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com

[finite jungle]

very late reply but stalking jack the ripper fits in both genres :)

same goes for the mindfuck series

mindfuck series does have a bit of smut tho

a good girl's guide to murder also works in the murder mystery genre with a very small romance subplot

one of us is lying works for murder mystery as well (altho i don't recall it having too much romance)

[zealous pier]

A good girls guide to murder series

[steel kestrel]

[cold mortar]

Something WELL WRITTEN please ;-;

[steel kestrel]

i dun read much romance and might be a very general answer for romance genre but pride and prejudice ✌🏼

[golden vault]

Any new crime novels which are good?

[steel kestrel]

does anyone know any books similar to a thousand splendid suns by khaled hosseini? ik there’s the kite runner but was wondering if there are any other similar books written by different authors

[reef bison]

You don't have the app?

[wintry basin]

a thousand splendid suns was too good

that was the best book i ever read

[steel kestrel]

agreed

khaled hosseini’s best book to date

[woven drum]

have you read john green? he's got good stuff

[candid gale]

Breaking Bad, the walter white and his wife skyler have an interesting relationship

Shit my guy left

[coral olive]

they were scared away by the epic-ness of breaking bad

[dull pier]

I ever hear about this author but i don`t recall. If i have ever read any of his books

[woven drum]

hm well you should try reading, his books have romance and much more

pretty good storylines and theyre well written

[coral olive]

he's way too famous

like VERY

[dull pier]

Tbh. I am the type to not pay attention to name of books. I just read the back and look at the cover . If both are good or one is good and i hear good reviews about a book. I add them to my list then read them . I mainly pay attention to self improvement books and books that pull my attention. Yes i do read romance and comedy BUT i am a stucker for character development and a good plot like yes author attack me when reading! 😭 😭 😭 Let me not look forward to reaching the end of this book 😩💔 because it`s so good and i felt apart of these fictional characters world for alittle while😢 )/ 🫂.

[dull pier]

@coral olive @woven drum

[coral olive]

Ah right

[coral olive]

For me, ever since I was very young, all I’ve read is action novels and self help books

I studied Roger Dawson’s Secrets of Power Negotiating and used it as basically the manual to my life for a while

Same with How to Win Friends and Influence People

Both are very effective at opening doors for you in life

I love Clive Cussler’s books too

[dull pier]

These books are just yes ! I love books like the one you mentioned. but i had to take break from reading bcz of exams and studies. Otherwise. If a book is good and has my interest. I read until i am either done with it or i fall asleep with the book in my hand or lastly. I get carried away by another book or etc.

I like stocking up on books that pull my attention so when i am done with one. I don`t have to go through the process of looking for another book to read .When, i am in the mood to read. If that makes sense😆

[coral olive]

Yea I get that, but for me, I don't buy more books until I've finished reading all of the books which I already own, or else I'd end up with way too many

[dull pier]

I get that. I have more soft copy than hard copy but i prefer reading either.

[coral olive]

Same, I use a kindle and download most of my books off the internet

[dull pier]

Nice. Most of my soft copy books are on wattpad tbh . I have alot and i mean alot saved up to read which i haven`t yet read.

[woeful spire]

I’ve a qs, colleen hoover books r in series/order? Or I can chose whatever I want? Pls do consider tag

[coral olive]

I believe that you can choose whatever you want since they’re all independent. Haven’t read any of the books myself but a lot of my friends have.

[woeful spire]

for some reason ppl r against colleen hoover books. They said its unexpected XD, ive never read any romance book before but trying for first time tho!!

[coral olive]

I’ve seen people say things against Colleen Hoover books, but since I haven’t read any, I can’t really judge

[woeful spire]

Should I give it a try? Seems like waste of my time 😂😂💀

[steel kestrel]

save yourself the time unless you want to read a wattpad-like book

but you could give it a shot by getting a sneak peek of a few chapters online, who knows you’d like it

[coral olive]

I mean don’t buy the books

Read a bit online if you like em then go further

[woeful spire]

what is wattpad-like book?

[woeful spire]

which one tho? cuz colleen hoover got a lot big collection

[woeful spire]

ofc won't😂

[steel kestrel]

well

most of them r viral on tiktok

most viral i believe is it ends with us

[woeful spire]

i saw ugly love

[steel kestrel]

plot is ok but the romance is just out of the place for me

[steel kestrel]

yeah that too

[woeful spire]

its the last part of the book right?

[woeful spire]

idk anything about love booksXD

[steel kestrel]

aren’t all her books independent of one another?

[steel kestrel]

romance as subgenre all the way <3

[steel kestrel]

uhhzhhzhzhzhz

they’re cliche 😂

[coral olive]

I believe so

[steel kestrel]

which cater more to teens i guess

sorry to all coho fans here…

[coral olive]

one of my friends is trying to convince me to read one of the colleen hoover books (and failing)

[steel kestrel]

but i hate coho

[coral olive]

never read any of it so can't judge

[steel kestrel]

recommend them ||better|| books

[coral olive]

I did

[steel kestrel]

reading one chapter of it ends with us is already enough for me to judge it

[coral olive]

idk man sometimes her book taste is based and other times it's just... weird

[coral olive]

LMFAO

[steel kestrel]

🤣

there was one book

idk she wrote it weirdly

lemme see if i can find it

tho idk if its allowed here (?)💀

[coral olive]

lol

[coral olive]

[coral olive]

LMFAO

[steel kestrel]

[steel kestrel]

[coral olive]

my mind is officially blown

[steel kestrel]

[coral olive]

[woeful spire]

Idk😭😭💀💀

[woeful spire]

[steel kestrel]

[steel kestrel]

[coral olive]

[coral olive]

[woeful spire]

haunting is first

hunting is second and final

[woeful spire]

Nooo😭😭😭😭😭😭

@steel kestrel yep it’s in order 😑😑😑 i wasted my daam time overthinking a lot

https://www.maryse.net/reading-order-guide/h-d-carlton-cat-and-mouse-duet.html

[steel kestrel]

😂😂

you could read it backwards LMAO

to make everything make sense

[woeful spire]

I'll try👀

[sudden lynx]

OMG YES FINALLY

i just do not understand the appeal

[steel kestrel]

ifkr

people out here calling her a literary genius 😭

[worthy glade]

i like michael mapurgo books better

[sudden lynx]

its like a professional version of wattpad is what i think after reading it ends with us

[steel kestrel]

i have read wattpad books with better writing

but honestly 😭

i was abt to buy the book since the plot was ok and it got so hyped but after reading a chapter online tg i didnt 😭

[sudden lynx]

i read the whole book, trying so hard to give it a chance because i was so bored but coho then did this thing in the last chapter where lily (idk if thats the mc's name) she says this sappy line to her baby, "No more, it ends with us." or smthn like that and lemme tell you i slammed my laptop down so hard from the cringe

[steel kestrel]

bro 🤣🤣

you strong fr for reading the whole book 😭

[sudden lynx]

but maybe thats just my anger issues lmao but i genuinely do not like it when authors use the title of their books in some sappy dialogue

[steel kestrel]

i also hated the lines by atlas

[sudden lynx]

i was trying to get back into reading 😭

[steel kestrel]

i also hated how the romance escalated between lily and

that doctor

he was being creepy

[steel kestrel]

mate you chose the wrong book KSHSKSK

[sudden lynx]

i barely remember anything from that book except everyones hair colors

[sudden lynx]

tbh the doctor was VERY hot in my imagination

[sudden lynx]

oh dont worry i read amazing books right after that.. actual quality writing

[steel kestrel]

all male characters in my imagination are hot 😈

[steel kestrel]

reccs? 👀

[sudden lynx]

as they should

[sudden lynx]

what genre do you read more?

[steel kestrel]

anything tbh

just not full romance pls

anything that has good plot would do

[jovial shale]

Dr Seuss

[sudden lynx]

oo ok well idk ive never actually recommended anything because ive always been insecure for some reason

what about fantasy?

that way you get action and spice

[steel kestrel]

i find fantasy quite hard to get into cause of the terms etc

and also i kinda dislike fantasy genre bcs of this

one series… by sarah j maas

[sudden lynx]

hmmk

[jovial shale]

mysteries are the best

[steel kestrel]

the books are like 50% smut bruh

[sudden lynx]

ooh i love her tho

[steel kestrel]

LORAX!

[sudden lynx]

i think you read a court of thorns and roses lmao

[sudden lynx]

OMG YES

[steel kestrel]

😭😭😭

also because of one of the character’s name lmao

dorian: i keep imagining him as a durian

[sudden lynx]

her other series is more action based and has little to no spice

[sudden lynx]

💀

OMG IS IT THRONE OF GLASS

[steel kestrel]

reccs?

[steel kestrel]

YES

[sudden lynx]

that was the one i was gonna tell you about since it didnt have that much smut 😭

[steel kestrel]

oh ive read it

and it was not bad

just that i could not get past his name and my imagination of him

[sudden lynx]

wait i will find some books for you

[steel kestrel]

YES PLEASE

[sudden lynx]

OH WAIT OMG

there was this wattpad author who published some great books but again they were fantasy but i dont think theyre that complicated

completely pg

i read it when i was in 9th grade but i could not put it down i would read under my blanket at night with the bare minimum light from my music player

and the demons theyre talking about are not the pitchfork demons but animals with cute powers

[jovial shale]

oh I haven’t read in ages

[steel kestrel]

[jovial shale]

Some of the books made me shit myself when I was younger

[coral olive]

W

but still prefer Percy Jackson tbh

[coral olive]

same for me, now that I think of it it’s been seven years since I started reading them

but I kept up with them until the present day since I’m attached to the characters 😭

[misty nova]

The PJ universe would've been much higher in my eyes if Riordan figured out when to stop writing more and more series

[candid gale]

yeah

[misty nova]

Because all he's doing is damaging the reputation of the earlier books

[young matrix]

childhood 🥺

[candid gale]

ong

Alex Rider too

[young matrix]

have you read the alchemist?

[candid gale]

yes

a long time ago

[misty nova]

It's getting a tv series so ig there's gonna be some attention coming in it's direction

[candid gale]

anyone read lemony snickett books?

[young matrix]

nop

[candid gale]

b4 the netflix series came out

[misty nova]

I watched the mid Netflix series

[candid gale]

ah

[steel kestrel]

[coral olive]

yep I read them

[coral olive]

yesssssss those were lit too

[misty nova]

I read 39 clues

[coral olive]

you mean the Paul Coelho one, or the Alchemyst (the series)

[candid gale]

i remember all these titles

but i fucking dont rmb them

[coral olive]

I read all of them

All four series

I was so obsessed I gave my friends those books on their birthdays so I’d have someone to talk to about Amy and Dan’s adventures

or at least I think those were the names

not sure been 5-6 years

[steel kestrel]

time to reread

[young matrix]

paulo cohelo

[coral olive]

agreed

[young matrix]

lmao same

[candid gale]

lazy now

[coral olive]

ye that book’s cool

[young matrix]

i remember how they made me feel

[misty nova]

I let go in the 2nd series

[young matrix]

not what the book was

[candid gale]

binging breaking bad seems more worthwile

[misty nova]

Got too repetitive for me

[young matrix]

TIME

[candid gale]

and better caul saul

[misty nova]

I'm actually doing that rn

[candid gale]

i have to WAITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

until 26th may

[coral olive]

I’m watching BCS rn

done with bb

[candid gale]

fuck man

[misty nova]

I'm watching BB for the 2nd time, after that I'll watch BCS the first time

[candid gale]

ong

[young matrix]

speaking of series am i the only person who's old enough to be laughing at indian matchmaking

[candid gale]

my mother watched that

it was fucking awkward

sitting next to her

[young matrix]

lmaoooo

maybe i am old

its like watching tv serials

[misty nova]

Honestly if my mom is really interested in some tv series or movie, it's pretty much guaranteed I'm not gonna like it

[candid gale]

yep same

[young matrix]

im considering making my mom watch a really shitty episode

to put her off of arranged marriage

[candid gale]

hahahaha

[young matrix]

theres one episode with really shitty men

[coral olive]

lmfao

[misty nova]

Smort

Arranged marriage is so cringe

[young matrix]

i mean shes already well into it for my sister

but at least i can save myself ya know

[misty nova]

Haha fair enough

[young matrix]

tbh with decent people its not that bad, its just that most people are garbage

generally in the world

not even exclusive to arranged marriage

[misty nova]

Arranged marriage is basically a dude with 0 relationship skills getting married to a woman who most likely doesnt wanna get married (in India at least)

[misty nova]

True

[young matrix]

lmaooo

THERE WAS THIS GUY WHO WANTED A GIRL WHO IS EXACTLY LIKE HIS MOTHER

SUCH RED FLAGS

see i am old

[misty nova]

Yikessss

Oedipus complex is so weird

[misty nova]

Tho tbf I also have no relationship skills so I shouldn't be commenting

[young matrix]

its not even about relationship skills

its just being a decent human

and not wanting to get married so you dont need a maid

the bar is so low

[misty nova]

Yeah the amount of men who won't respect women as equal human beings is embarrassing

[golden vault]

Has anyone read Beloved, by Toni Morrison

[jagged flame]

Back again— i need book recommendations—

[radiant cloud]

ABCDs for children, One of the best books out there

[jagged flame]

read that already

[radiant cloud]

Numbers for children?

[jagged flame]

that one too

[radiant cloud]

go read Dr Seuss Books then

[jagged flame]

read all those too

[radiant cloud]

Tom Gates?

[jagged flame]

done too

[radiant cloud]

you can try "The age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton

It's a lovely book

[faint ledge]

whats your taste in books? Any prefered genres or tropes?

[jagged flame]

i guess action and fantasy? mystery? im just getting into reading books- i only read a few- so im saying based on the things i like to watch-

[faint ledge]

Ah dw abt it, basing your taste on stuff u like to watch is good

the "school for good and evil" books by soman chainani are good for action and fantasy!! also way better than the movie in case u didnt like that

the premise for this one might be a bit childish, but i personally liked "Once Upon a Dream" by Elizabeth J. Braswell and "Reflection" by Elizabeth Lim. They're both part of the Twisted Tales series, which is basically just published disney AU fanfiction ngl

[jagged flame]

oh i also like psychology play- like if you read the manga the promised neverland- one good example

[faint ledge]

YOOOO OMG THE PROMISED NEVERLAND

aww hell yeah that mangas great

[jagged flame]

you can think that as my main taste in stuff-

[faint ledge]

okay give me a sec i seem to have forgotten every book i have ever read since i was born

[jagged flame]

lmaooooo- i can relate- but with songs-

[faint ledge]

omg ikrrr the second sometimes ask me abt i music taste my mind completely goes blank

[jagged flame]

like all the songs i heard never had a name

[faint ledge]

anw agatha christie books are great for mystery!!!

[jagged flame]

any particular to start off?

[faint ledge]

she wrote murder on the orient express

[jagged flame]

yup- i read that- defo into it

[faint ledge]

aww hell yea

[jagged flame]

loved the unexpected ending-

[faint ledge]

i liked the murder of roger ackryod

man i havent read agatha christie books in ages actually i should do that

[jagged flame]

got that on my reading list now

[faint ledge]

ah ive heard some good things about "if i die before i wake" as well tho i havent actually read it

[faint ledge]

ayo spill ur reading list pls

if u like the promised neverland and agatha christie i super trust your taste

[jagged flame]

i heard that one too-

[jagged flame]

should i add just novels or manga as well?

[faint ledge]

oh yea i like manga too pls add some

[jagged flame]

give me a sec

[jagged flame]

percy jackson (i've only read the first one)
George R.R Martin
A game of thrones
hunger games
the murder of roger ackryod
The Silver Eyes
The Twisted Ones
The Fourth Closet (literally the entire fnaf series)
the hidden oracle
toyko ghoul
demon slayer
chainsaw man
jujutsu kaisen

[faint ledge]

Oh my god this list is great

Bro

Marry me

Jkjk ty for the list now i havw stuff to add to my own list

[jagged flame]

ofc i will since we share the same taste

[jagged flame]

glad to be a help

[faint ledge]

Aww hell yeah

[jagged flame]

i can't dm you for some reason

[faint ledge]

Eh omg wait wait let me try to figure that out

[solar slate]

Gave +1 rep to mewshew_#5967

[golden vault]

Don't read subtle art of not giving a fuck

Now I don't care about my exams lol

[plain oriole]

These are such based books wtf

How to win friends and influence people is one of my favorites in there

Havent heard about some of the other female self help ones before but it makes me happy to see that good books like that exist

[plain oriole]

I'll give them a try after exams. The dichotomy between gender roles has always fascinated me.

[young matrix]

If you want inspirational books then try Angela Saini, she's written a lot of amazing books

[lunar matrix]

[verbal stump]

i meant it it like i dont have enough brain power to understand them 😭

istg you have like 200 iq or sum idek

[gritty flax]

[sudden lynx]

im still reading plato:complete works, but since its exam season i had to stop

[sudden lynx]

ill send u the pdf if u want but i feel like its a bit heavy for a beginner

i used to read some other books that were more philosophical and research based to build myself to plato but i dont think hes too bad

you just need to focus lol to get through his chapters

[dusty sleet]

preferably thrillers

[gritty flax]

Yeah you don't really need a high iq just focus and attention

[verbal stump]

[gritty flax]

I am gonna read homo deus by yuval Harrari

How is sapiens?

I have a lot of books on western philosophy while none about eastern philosophy

[sudden lynx]

it was really good, it's a scientific approach to the three revolutions of mankind and how with evolution came religion and figurative language.

homo sapiens is more of an overview of past events and the historical evolution of mankind while homo deus touches on challenges that may arise in the future

[finite cypress]
