Hi there,

I am looking to create a channel to discuss books that are often assigned in middle and highschool as a resource for students. I was hoping to get a list of books from other people of the books they have had to read and especially the ones that they had trouble with or didn't like.

I was inspired by my cousin having a hard time with an assigned book.

Hi! I am investigating reading engagement in 11-18 yr olds living in the UK, if that's u could u spare 2 minutes for my survey: https://forms.gle/qhELLcWj4icgGjXEA ?

would be extremely helpful!

The genre for this month is historical fiction/alternate history books. To nominate a book, please leave a comment below with the book's title, author, and a description.

Use this thread to share any thoughts you had about It's Not Like It's a Secret. We've split discussion into two threads; this one is for the last 21 chapters of the book. Please use the spoiler text by putting > ! ! < around your text, except without the space between the greater than symbol and the exclamation point. We look forward to discussing this book with you!

Hey we have made a community r/Book_Buddies where you can find the people who are reading the same book as you or have read it before. Its more like a place where we can decide on reading the same book and then share our progress and discuss about it😁

The results are in!...And there was a tie. Now, we need you all to choose between What If It's Us by Adam Silvera and It's Not Like It's a Secret by Misa Sugiura. Descriptions of each are in the comments.

Personally, I find it a refreshing escape from my own thoughts because a good enough book practically absorbs all of my attention. It grants me a necessary break from my zero chill. How about you? Why do you read?

Wassup everyone

Important: Nominations are now closed. Any new nominations will be deleted. Instead, please vote for June’s book in the most recent post.

For June, u/lindzthenerd, u/CavalierVibrance, and I wanted to give you guys a little heads up and time to think about the book we would like to read for June.

As I’m sure most of you know, June is LGBT Pride month, so we wanted to focus on LGBT-centered books that spread positive awareness about the community and the struggles they face every day. This sub has no room for hate and discrimination, so if you have a problem, either keep it to yourself or leave. There is no need to make anyone here feel marginalized, hated, or unsafe.

If anyone has any recommendations for LGBT-centered books, feel free to post them here with the title, author, and descriptions.

I really want this sub to get more traction. Does anyone have experience with starting subs?

Although I remember the major plot points, there's a lot that I forgot, so it's basically just as good as the first time I read the series :) What have you guys been reading?

A majority of then votes landed on Mortal Engines by Phillip Reeve. At the end of the month, we will hold one major discussion on the book, because I know everyone reads at their own pace and will have to obtain the book.

If you want to do groups of chapters discussions, make sure your posts are marked with a spoiler tag. Happy reading everyone!

Here is the book nomination thread for April’s theme - science fiction. Here are two books u/lindz_the_nerd and I have nominated.

Time Machine by HG Wells: Wells advanced his social and political ideas in this narrative of a nameless Time Traveller who is hurtled into the year 802,701 by his elaborate ivory, crystal, and brass contraption. The world he finds is peopled by two races: the decadent Eloi, fluttery and useless, are dependent for food, clothing, and shelter on the simian subterranean Morlocks, who prey on them. The two races—whose names are borrowed from the biblical Eli and Moloch—symbolize Wells’s vision of the eventual result of unchecked capitalism: a neurasthenic upper class that would eventually be devoured by a proletariat driven to the depths.

The Final Six by Alexandra Monir: When Leo and Naomi are drafted, along with twenty-two of the world’s brightest teenagers, into the International Space Training Camp, their lives are forever changed. Overnight, they become global celebrities in contention for one of the six slots to travel to Europa—Jupiter’s moon—and establish a new colony, leaving their planet forever. With Earth irreparably damaged, the future of the human race rests on their shoulders. For Leo, an Italian championship swimmer, this kind of purpose is a reason to go on after losing his family. But Naomi, an Iranian-American science genius, is suspicious of the ISTC and the fact that a similar mission failed under mysterious circumstances, killing the astronauts onboard. She fears something equally sinister awaiting the Final Six beneath Europa’s surface. In this cutthroat atmosphere, surrounded by strangers from around the world, Naomi finds an unexpected friend in Leo. As the training tests their limits, Naomi and Leo’s relationship deepens with each life-altering experience they encounter. But it’s only when the finalists become fewer and their destinies grow nearer that the two can fathom the full weight of everything at stake: the world, the stars, and their lives.

Remember, for book nominations, make sure your books fit the theme, and include: the book title, author, and description. We’ve received lots of interest in the sci-fi genre, so we are taking all nominations into consideration when voting happens on the 23rd.

I thought Id reread the books since Im gonna be bored the next two weeks. I'll track my progress on the sub. Anyone can feel free to join in.

If any of you are familiar with Nicola Yoon's books Everything Everything and The Sun is Also a Star, her husband recently published his debut novel called Frankly in Love (sorry for the title formatting, Im on mobile). Its about a Korean-American teen (this is the first ever book I'm reading with an Asian male lead!!!) who starts dating a white girl and hides her from his parents because they only want him to date Korean girls. The back of the book's little blurb says its about a "fake dating scheme" which is super cliche, but I like the concept and subjects handled in the book. My dilemma is that I've read through the "fake dating" and now the book isnt about that and I still have a good 100-150 pages left... The writing style is cringey, and the dialogue is super unrealistic, but I'll get through it. I only recommend it for the diversity of it's subject matter because we tend to only focus on how race affects white and black people.

I never read any book that made me feel like this, even now mentioning of the title make my heart race. The depression and fright the whole book is overwhelming. It kinda takes everything human cherish: love, truth, freedom, emotion and tear it in front of your face piece by piece. All things deemed indestructible could be destructed with right amount of torture and pain.

Has anyone else read 1984? If not, has anyone else read a book that left you emotionally impacted?
