    I have a reading challenge idea for you:
    I was at GoodReads and noticed the "because you read..." and I thought that that might be a good idea; read all the "because you read/liked..." recommendations.
    so - a recommendation chain:
    Because you read The Raven Boys, you might like The Queen of Nothing
    Because you read The Queen of Nothing, you might like Serpent & Dove
    Because you read Serpent & Dove, you might like The Beautiful
    Because you read The Beautiful, you might like A River of Royal Blood
    Because you read A River of Royal Blood, you might like Eight Will Fall
    Because you read Eight Will Fall, you might like Wicked As You Wish
    Because you read Wicked As You Wish, you might like A Heart So Fierce and Broken...
    Just choose a random amount of books

    For a good ghost-with-a-hint-of-romance story, I recommend “Anna Dressed in Blood” by Kendare Blake. It’s the first in a duology and I can confirm that they are both held to a similar standard of goodness. Some parts really hit the feels.

      Chloe Chiasson Don’t Date Rosa Santos would be another great one - lots of bruja vibes, tropical Florida Keys/island/Cuban vibes - it’s such a fun read! It is billed as a romance but it’s more about relationships between multiple generations of women and struggling with multiple cultural identities (but with tons of island vibezzzzzz)

    I thought Kate's was grumpy guy meets happy girl and they fall in love. Which probably says more about me than anything else.
    The heart bread thing feels like falling in love with a baker or at a bakery. There are lots of romance/"chick lit" type books called things like "the little cupcake café" but I haven't read any. I feel like that's what that person is looking for though.

    The instant I saw the second emoji combination I KNEW IT! I’ve only recently discovered The Raven Cycle (through your channel I believe - THANK YOU) and I’m just about to read Blue Lily, Lily Blue for the first time, but I’m already so attached to the characters and the world and EVERYTHING about it. As an Author-in-Training (and a human in general, haha) I’ve been really inspired by this series and am trying my best to create a story of my own with even a FRACTION of the impact that this book has had on its readers. If you were to pinpoint the top reasons for why this series has connected and stuck with you, what would they be?

    • @bookswithike3256
      @bookswithike3256 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is about a Latinx trans boy that is determined to prove to his family that he is a brujo, and to do that he decide to summon his cousin ghost, but end up summoning the wrong ghost and start to fall in love with him.
    Ps: If i missed something in my writing, let me know! English is not my first language and i am not tottally confident when i'm the one doing the writing.

But I'm now reading The Chalk Man by CJ Tudor for the book club(couldn't get the new one) and I'm really liking it! I'm not sure if it really classifies as a thriller though.

    Lala I am reading Daughters of the Lake and I see it on your good-reads to be read and I recommend it because its a mystery but it has a mythical magical part that causes a spooky vibe that leaves me with a creepy feeling!

    For @jessethereader ghost investigator, ring, star, city, key, I would recommend Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsela. It's about a girl who is haunted by the ghost of her dead aunt who wants to find her lost key necklace. We end up investigating across the city trying to figure out the truth of what happened to her aunt.

    Ghost Eggplant: Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready, which I haven't read in a decade but remember being very fun. It's about a girl who's boyfriend dies and then haunts her while she goes on an adventure with another boy who can also see ghosts

  • @ceilidancr
    @ceilidancr 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don’t know how to feel about the fact that I know the perfect book for 👻🍆emoji. It’s The Hollow trilogy by Jessica Verday, and it’s a cheesy YA paranormal romance I read in high school (many years ago now.) It follows a girl named Abbey who lives in the real Sleepy Hollow, NY, and has grown up surrounded by the legend of the Headless Horseman. Abbey’s best friend has died under mysterious circumstances and Abbey is devastated. At the funeral, she meets a mysterious boy she’s never seen in town before... So yeah, that’s the setup, and I remember it so well because I was listening to the Taylor Swift album Speak Now at the time I read it, and her song Haunted is the perfect soundtrack for the Hollow series. I think about those books every time I hear it. The ending is very much a love it or hate it deal, but I remember loving the setting and spooky atmosphere. Maybe look up trigger warnings if you have any triggers that might come up in a YA story about death and grief though. It’s been so long I couldn’t accurately tell you what to be careful of myself.
