Kamala Harris Book Sales Soaring in Wake of Democratic Presidential Nomination

Kamala Harris Book Sales Soaring in Wake of Democratic Presidential Nomination

I just wanted to share the most beautiful letter ever, in Persuasion by Jane Austen. Just finished reading it! What a great book.

I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to …

Did Frieda McFadden’s “The Teacher” plagiarize from Kate Elizabeth Russell’s “My Dark Vanessa?”

I think Frieda McFadden plagiarized “My Dark Vanessa” in “The Teacher”

The Teacher came out 4 years after My Dark Vanessa was published, and the similarities are too much to overlook in my opinion. In The Teacher, Addie is a lonely girl who has fallen out with a friend the …

Why isn't the Pendergast series more popular?

The books have been around since 1995 but I haven't heard of them until recently. My local library only has a few of the newer books and my local Barnes and Noble only has the first two books. The first book in the series didn't get a movie until ~~2020~~ …

Just Finished Lonesome Dove for the First Time

In the world of the book, the sky was covered with a dark "dome", which is why vampires could now walk during the day, even if they were not …

Almost done with Compass by Mathias énard and he mentions quite a few books and writers, some of which I know already and are about to know soon, and one of them is The Blind Owl and his description of that book caught my attention more than the others so …

Weekly Recommendation Thread: July 26, 2024

Welcome to our weekly recommendation thread! A few years ago now the mod team decided to condense the many "suggest some books" threads into one big mega-thread, in order to consolidate the subreddit and diversify the front page a little. Since then, we have removed suggestion threads and directed their …

I just finished my first James Patterson and J. D. Barker novel, Confessions of the Dead (no prior experience with thriller/horror novels nor do I know much about each author). I can’t find a discussion thread anywhere for this book and was wondering if anyone wanted to discuss it with me? 😅

I originally got this book because I’m a big Castle (TV show) and Alan Wake II (video game) fan.

I don’t usually read within the thriller/horror genre, but since I realized I was a fan of both of the above works, I decided to give it a try with a …
