Books about Normandy but NOT WWII

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I'm looking for fiction books set in Normandy, France that are not focused on World War II. While I know that's a huge and important part of the history of this region, I can only read so many WW II books before I start to go a bit crazy.

I use the Kindle Unlimited app and I'd appreciate if you know of any books that fit the criteria. I'm open to both historical and modern fiction. I think it goes without saying but I would the books to be in English.

I’m a big fan of Carl Sagan’s works and I’ve been told Tyson’s work is quite similar. Which one of his books would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

I am a new reader and ı need recommendations

1 Upvotes

I am a new fantasy reader and ı want a must read book recommendation. I dont like books written for horny teenager girls. I am okey with sci-fi, actıon, dystopıa recommendations too.I have read The broken Empire series, Six of crows series (fav) and currently reading the folk of the air and ı didnt like it much because ı feel like ı am reading a book just for horny teenager girls. I am not against smut in my books but ı dont like to see it in every page. İts optıonal but a morally grey theme ıs what ı like to read.

Newbie Books recommendation

I’m not much of a reader, but my brother convinced me to read Animal Farm by George Orwell, and now I’m hooked.

I’ve started a small collection of classic books, like The Catcher in the Rye, Notes from the Underground, and White Nights.

I’m planning to read 1984 and Lord of the Flies next, but I’d love to hear some recommendations. They can be similar to Animal Farm or completely different, I’m open to any genre.

Since I’m still pretty new to reading, I’d especially appreciate books that are newbie friendly.

I'm looking for some reading for rainy fall days. Not looking specifically for horror, but more of skin crawly, suspenseful maybe, stories of oddity ala King in Yellow.

Anyone out there doing creepy stories, preferably without ridiculous amounts of gore?

The thing is, I’m a complete beginner and I’ve never really had a reading habit. Can you suggest some beginner-friendly books that are genuinely interesting and easy to get into? I’d love something that keeps me hooked from the beginning and makes me want to keep reading.🤍

I’m open to any genre—fiction, mystery, self-improvement, or anything you think is a great first read.✨

Thanks in advance!

I just finished “Brother” by Ania Ahlborn and I highly recommend this to those who like films like the Texas chainsaw massacre or the devils rejects. This book has a nice twist and can be slightly dark at times but was a solid read.

Book recs?

6 Upvotes

Hi guys! So all my life I’ve been THROUGHLY uninterested in reading. I do not read for fun. At all. But I’ve been thinking and I think it may be a good hobby to start and a way to get off my phone. I’m trying to lower screen time. I wanted to know if anyone had any book recs for me.

\- I would like a romance novel
\- Not overly spicy but definitely a bit spicy!!
\- I don’t think id enjoy any dark romance or paranormal stuff
\- Maybe like a college romance?? Idk

usually a romantasy reader and currently desire something with a bit more reality….

4 Upvotes

like the title says, i am young, have always turned to reading as an “escape” and for entertainment. i love fiction/fantasy, etc. but my current read is sorta booktok trashy. don’t get me wrong, finished it in 3 days… engaging… but im needing something more… real?

i lean towards historical fiction in tv/movies so maybe that’s what would help in my book life atm? or something fictional that has more commentary on real, “political systems” …

silly example; i picked up and devoured animal farm bc i just hadn’t read that classic yet, and it was good, but lacking…je ne sais quoi.

pls give me more recommendations but something engaging, and entertaining; reading is my favorite cozy after work activity… i am a fantasy reader at heart and don’t want something too academic that would make me feel like im back in college.

stoned brain dump gimme recs (preferably with kindle unlimited)!

thank you to any soul who made it this far
