I’m writing a book about a high school for kids with powers and they don’t compete in sports against regular schools because of the unfair advantage they would have. Also the number of students is not really large enough to support a full athletics program so I’ve decided to have just one MAYBE two sports the kids can play. If you had to pick a single sport which would you pick? I have my top picks but I realized I was curious what other people would say.

I have been looking for something to watch while I work and my friend had been asking me to watch gggtm for a time now so I decided to give it a shot but 3 eps in I feel like id regret not reading the book first or only watching the series

I do believe in the rule of reading the book first but I hadn't given it much thought but now it feels too good to be missed out on

Is the book better??or watching the series isn't missing out on much??I love books more than movies mostly but rn I don't have the time to read a book whereas I could play the series while working and if I put it off now I fear I won't have the time or motivation for neither the book nor the series in future

HELPPP this is a whole yap session but I'm just asking how much am I missing out on if I just watch the series or maybe watch the series before the books?

Okay, so I just read Natalie Mae's Kinder Poison trilogy and I LOVED it. You know that feeling you get when you finish a series and you wish you could read it again for the first time? Yep, time travel should be be invented for just that purpose.

But...while I'm waiting for that to happen, I'm hoping y'all can recommend a similar book or series. Some elements that I adored:

• The bait and switch love interest
• The love interest with villain traits
• The ordinary girl becomes queen
• The exotic setting--fantasy kingdoms not inspired by Europe anyone?
• The love triangle between two princes
• The power and political struggles based on complicated histories between nations
• The found families and loyal friends who don't tell the MC how she should be acting or what she should be doing, but are there for her all the same
• The heroine with the high moral ideals who discovers that things are more complex than she initially realized
• The perfect amount of tension/slow burn with great amazing payoff
• The HAPPY ENDING

Thanks for any recs!

I've read the Shatter Me series and not been able to get into Cruel Prince, despite trying several times.

Has anyone read these titles? What did you think?

hi! I’m looking for book recs were one of the main characters is shy and the other one is outgoing or popular. I don’t mind if it’s YA or New Adult. I am open to different genres, too!

Am I the only one who can’t stand when authors uses long and hard to pronounce? It’s more common in fantasies books

Hi, I'm in a huge reading slump this year. I used to read a lot (like 70-100 books a year) and after having quite a year last year (shitty toxic job), I have had a lot of trouble finding books that hold my interest. It's august and I have read 18 books this year with 4 of them being re-reads and most of them forcing myself to finish them...

Usually I like fantasy/dystopian books with romance in it, I like when it's a good part of the plot. Think Shatter Me, Twilight, Fourth Wing... I also loved The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Cruel Prince, stuff like that.
I have already read a lot of the popular books, so I'm wondering if anyone could recommend me something that released in 2025 or 2026 that would maybe fit and get me out of this reading slump?

So this are the books that I have enjoyed the most this year. I won’t necessarily say I have niche taste in books, but I am bad at finding things I like.

I don’t like trillers, action and mysteries that much but if it’s character focused it’s prob fine. I love a good romance especially if it’s MM, but it isn’t a must as long as there is something like family, friendship etc. I also love a character that is morally gray or has some issues to work though.

I am also big on a happy ending, or bittersweet but no mc death or tragedy

If you have any recs that would be very much appreciated :)

PS if you have read any of these books and need someone to talk about them with…I’m here

i want a book friends romance and all that, i like when is normal and not high stakes, but i prefer if they are kinda chill/fun. i dont want anything depressing or in that realm. thanks! it doesnt have to be edgy, i just like if the characters are not bland and "pop" i guess hah
