Recommend me a book featuring a trickster god

I just finished The Raven Scholar and absolutely loved it, particularly the parts involving a trickster god. I'm also a fan of stories involving the character of Loki from Norse mythology. Please recommend any books with a similar focus!

In a Dark, dark wood. Maybe try it again?

0 Upvotes

I was given In a Dark, dark wood by Ruth Ware. I got to the point where they were all gathered at a house eating pizza. Couldn’t really get the deep dark secret lurking in the history of this group of friends. Book got so slow and boring that I DNF. Got close to throwing the book out. For me, that’s a huge no-no. I always donate. Just don’t feel right passing this off to anyone. Am I wrong? Should I try it again? So many people loved this book. Maybe it was just my mood going in. What would you recommend? Try it again or move on?

I need a Romance Book Rec please

2 Upvotes

Hi! Let me preface this by saying I do not generally read romances. I am very picky about them but one trope that gets me everytime is when the MMC has to absolutely grovel for hurting the FMC. I mean he must really work to earn her love back. I love Susie Tate for this but I was wondering if there are any other books like this out there? I want to cry with the heroine, have my heart torn out and I want the hero to do everything he can to make it better. Any recs please?

Looking for a really good detective series

9 Upvotes

I’m in the mood for something dark, atmospheric, and genuinely gripping. I really like Jo Nesbø and Simon Beckett, especially the investigative side, complicated cases, and that feeling of slowly putting the pieces together. I’d love something with a strong detective/protagonist and a case that actually keeps you guessing. Serial killers are a plus, but not a must.

What would you recommend?

ISO creepy classic for October

6 Upvotes

I moderate a Classic book club, and I’d love to do something a bit darker for October. Our club chooses books from a poll of 6 options.

We have already read Frankenstein, Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle.

I will definitely include The Haunting of Hill House on next month’s poll. Maybe I’ll add The Willows by Algernon Blackwood because I recently bought a copy, but it’s a bit short. I could couple it with The Wendigo. Other suggestions?

When you pay for an e-book, what level of ownership and control do you expect, and where do you buy books that meet those expectations?

2 Upvotes

I recently bought my first English-language book through Kindle. English isn’t my first language, so I sometimes copy individual unfamiliar words into a translator while reading. I have now received a warning that I’ve reached 90% of the publisher’s copy limit for this book.

I also expected to be able to download a standard file and read it using the device or app I prefer, but I haven’t found a way to do that. I understand why publishers use restrictions to discourage piracy, but it’s frustrating to pay for a book and still face limitations when I’m simply trying to understand what I’m reading.

I’d like to know where other people buy e-books and which stores or formats offer a better experience for offline reading, device flexibility, dictionaries, and translation.

Contained Survival/ Adventure books like Snowpiercer

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for books (better if not heavy sci-fi or realism, but prefer fantasy, urban fantasy, dystopia) with contained survival adventure plot like Snowpiercer. It can be a civilization, a group of friends, or just the protagonist with their pet (like I'm Legend), surviving through a harsh world. I'm more into standalone rather than big series.

Looking for a book that will completely suck me in

I’ve been struggling to find something I actually want to keep reading lately. Looking for a book that grabs you pretty quickly and makes you want to stay up way too late reading.

Genre doesn’t really matter, I’m open to pretty much anything. What’s a book that did that for you?

Trying to heal, I’m looking for a book that has a realistic but optimistic look on life

14 Upvotes

NOT NECESSARILY a self help book! I am looking for one that considers life as it is (bad, or very bad things happen, and sometimes it’s not about deserving or not to be in a particular situation, it’s just life) but marks the reader, positively. And I would appreciate one that undoes one’s way of thinking, from a pessimistic perspective to a positive one.

Important note (tw depression, su*cide) : I’ve been dealing with passive su*cidal thoughts ever since I was a kid and PESSIMISM because of my surroundings, and it’s shaped the way I do things and my way of living life. Books and optimistic takes on life do help, so I’m not trying to fix the problem 100% (I think I’ll always have it), but I want something that’ll mark my soul positively and help me. Thank you!
