Definitely! It'll be a while until i get to it but I'll keep you updated once I start heart The most memorable fantasy novels that I've read so far were The Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix (1st book is Sabriel), The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen (haven't had time to finish the whole series yet but the 1st book was great), Three Dark Crowns series by Kendare Blake and The Cruel Prince by Holly Black! Lmk if you decide to pick up any of these as well biggrin

I just wanted to let you know that I purchased The Queen of Tearling on my Kindle and shall now start reading! It looks like something I'd enjoy very much! Thank you again for the recommendations! I'll update you throughout if you don't mind.

Yay!! Im happy you enjoyed it 4laugh unfortunately I personally didnt enjoy the second book and dnfed it early on (too many perspectives I didnt care for - i just wanted to read about Kelsea!) but it has high ratings so you might still enjoy it! I havent gotten to reading The Name of the Wind yet as I've been busy reading another book for school but I'm excited to get started 4laugh

In all honesty, I looked up many reviews and saw that the trilogy is a flop after the first book. I won't be reading it, unfortunately... It's almost comical how it all ends. I was glad I saw the spoiler reviews because... wow. It was silly. I also just wanted to read about Kelsea but there are some major story arcs without her that I knew I would not enjoy.

And no worries! It took me a year to read The Name of the Wind while I was in school and a year and a half for the second. But once you do decide to pick it up, I hope you never drop it.

Looking for some creepy cooks to read this october

I recommend the Selection series if you're into romance and the Red Queen series if you're into young adult fantasy books

[Kahlan_BrightBlade]

So, I'm looking for some new books to read. I'm not really picky about subject. The only things I won't read are Twilight, and romance novels. I've read tons so it'd be hard to list what I've read . any suggestions?

I will have to keep this thread in mind when I am done with the "Left Behind" series, although I do still have a long reading list a head of me. But if anyone likes vampire books that are out of the normal blood sucking creepy vampire I would recommend the "House of Night" Series by P.C. Cast it is really different from other vampire books.

heart I couldn't agree more on this series. I only have the first 6 books I do believe but I want all of them!

For those who know the game, Bendy and the Ink Machine Dreams Come to Life.
Now for those who do not know of the game it is based on the game Bendy and the Ink Machine, a horror video game where you play as Henry, the original creator of Bendy.
The book itself is from the perspective of a character named Buddy who gets a job at Joey Drew Studios where he can pursue his dream of drawing, but strange things are happening in the studio at night so he investigates what is happening.
Highly recommend both reading the book and if not able to play, watch a play through to the game as well.

Looking for recommendations!
- I don't read a lot, but some books and genres seem to glue me to the pages!

I've enjoyed reading books such as:
Asylum and Sanctum by Madeleine Roux
Pulse and Graveyard shift by Stephen King
Bird Box by Josh Malerman (Yes, the book is better than the movie!)
Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
Handmaids tale by Margaret Atwood
The Girl With All The Gifts by Mike Carey
The Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children series by Ransom Riggs

Also a big fan of Creepy Pastas.

I assumes I'm looking for Psychological Horror, a Good Spook and an occasional Feeling of Disgust?
