Donator Posted 3 years ago ( 2021/07/18 22:23:53 )


Hi! I am Nelle and I am looking for book recommendations. I mainly read fantasy, horror, and self improvement books. I would be open to other suggestions though.

Thank you!

@nelle: I’m doing a 50 book challenge this year on goodreads! I’m on book #31.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue was really good.

I enjoyed the “A Court of Thorns and Roses” series, but after book 1, it is definitely not YA anymore. Just a heads up since all of book 1 was YA and then it switched it up.

Sometimes I Lie was a thriller that kept me up all night and had me questioning my sanity at times. A+ stuff.

Please ping! I get distracted easily.

@Nelle: it's very good, it's actually my favourite book! It's a bit difficult to get into but worth it imo!

Low, keep your head, keep your head low...
.......................................Oh, you gotta keep your head low...

I 100% always recommend the Kate Daniels series! There are ten total and I love it so much. I have read it like 5 times.

Link to first book.
Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up magical problems. But when Kate’s guardian is murdered, her quest for justice draws her into a power struggle between two strong factions within Atlanta’s magic circles. Pressured by both sides to find the killer, Kate realizes she’s way our of her league—but she wouldn’t want it any other way…


It's slow burn urban fantasy and it has everything from vampires to shifters (and the shifters are things from hyena to wolves to lions) plus a lot of other myths. 10/10

@Mousy: Thank you so much for these recommendations and thank you for letting me know about the rest of the series for A Court of Thorns and Roses. That is actually one of the books I am reading right now hehe.

I want to see how many books I can read for the rest of this year!


@sunny: Is it easier to read once you do get into it? c:


@Spider: Oooh. I will check it out. That sounds interesting!

I'd recommend all the Grishaverse books by Leigh Bardugo. I recently finished the King of Scars duology, and they are hands down some of the best books I've read.
