For me it’s late-night cafés, rain against the windows, old bookstores, quiet conversations, or characters drinking coffee when they should probably be asleep already.Those little moments somehow make a story feel real.What about you?

I can only blame my shelf 😂

Happy Monday have a wonderful week 🥰

I’m looking for new book recommendations. I’ve read Stephan King, Cormac McCarthy, Donald Ray Pollock, Andy Weir,Stephen Graham Jones.

I enjoy Western set stories (yes I know about Lonesome Dove) horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and classic works. Im also looking for more non fiction books, I enjoy documentaries but sometimes I just want more information.

Any recommendations would be appreciated

Harry Potter 😂

Have a great Monday!! 🤗

Yesterday, I went to the library to pick up two holds (11/22/63 by Stephen King and The Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton) and decided to browse the books for sale. I picked up five, all are in pristine condition, and the total cost was $6! Once I read them, I will give them right back to the library. I bought:

The Covenant of Water by Abraham Vereghese (I absolutely loved Cutting for Stone; it's on my favorites shelf)

La Rose by Louise Erdrich (I loved The Sentence and have always meant to get back to her books)

The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follet (This is the prequel to his Kingsbridge series which are all on my favorites shelf)

The Institute by Stephen King and The Body by Stephen King (this book was made into the movie "Stand by Me.")

I currently have 5 books checked out, so I will have to read those first, but am excited to eventually get to these.

Anyone else like to buy books from the library?

I’m part of a book group where we read a new set of books every month and this next month we are reading a set of books that are labeled “classic”. However I was looking online to see which books are considered classics, and I saw that some people find them overrated.

If you have some books that I should read instead of some “overrated classics”, please suggest them!
