I don’t have much of an objective, I just kept getting this art style on Pinterest and wanted to see what others thought of. I’m reminded of Haruki Murakami, Madeline L’Engle, CS Lewis, Paul Yoon, and Studio Ghibli.
Books like these other than starship troopers and the starcraft books. I'm aware of the w40k universe but only read a couple of books there, any suggestions there would be appreciated too!
Not limited to sci-fi though, if there are other settings I would love to get to know
Hi everyone! So, it doesn’t have to be exactly what I described, but I’m looking for something along those lines: characters infiltrating opposition groups, pretending to be on their side, gaining their trust, and secretly passing information back to the resistance. Small acts that may seem insignificant but end up having huge consequences, people switching sides, betrayals, undercover operations, and preferably lots of action and tension.
I loved the isolated community, the culty feeling of something strange going on that you’re not fully in on yet, and the way it slowly takes hold of more and more people. I also really liked the whole idea of good intentions becoming completely corrupted, with people doing increasingly awful things while genuinely believing they’re doing the right thing.
I'm interesting in genre like Top Gun and Ace Combat series, also reading military novel like Hunt For Red October by Tom Clancy.
I want book that feels like semi realism, mid-late cold war aesthetic(70s-90s) with 50 vs 50 aerial battle in desert or savanna lowlands.
I prefer characters that feels real and not like solid war machines.
I've been a reader as long as I can remember; getting lost in a book is my happy place. But recently I've been longing for a book where the main character is a muslim gal who wears a hijab, like me! Yes, a lot of these images are romance-driven, but any genre is lovely! Thank you so much, fellow book lovers!
I've been curious to look for books about the japanese Ningyo, specifically the part in folklore where consuming mermaid flesh grants immortality/other consequences. Are there book Recs with the same plot/lore?
