When many people don’t even bother to read you when they pick you up, but only wish to look at your pretty pictures, we value the ones who choose to read us from cover to cover, relishing each paragraph and page, folding the corners of their favourite pages of us, not wanting to put us down. I cherish the ones who chose me to be their favourite book.

hey hey may you please infodump about your favorite book(s) please ? I want to hear a detailed poetic explaintion about eeevery single thing you like because you're cool and i like reading what you write
Tumblr media
I am BEYOND amazed by this ask, I - I can't comprehend. Is this real?
My favourite books - that's a though ask because I have many books I thoroughly enjoy, many tied to my special interests.
Oh gosh, I am sorry in advance, this will be long...
I have not talked about it much on here, but besides Jupiter Jim I am a huge fan of Star Wars & I'm owning over 160 books + the begin of a comic collection. Autistic much, mhmmmmm?
My favourite Star Wars book series is the Republic Commando Series by Karen Traviss. It's a masterpiece.
The way she gives the clone soldiers individual lives & personalities is amazing & it truly mirrors the conflicts that arise with the use of clones for an army. I am also fascinated by Mandalorian Culture, which the clones are raised in by their DNA giver Jango Fett & a few mandalorian warriors he chose for that task.
Karen Traviss created Mando'a, the language of this culture (which I have NOT learned, no, never /s).
I also want to add that the clones are NOT stormtroopers!
I'd also recommend reading the High Republic Series, which is BEYOND amazing & has become my favourite Star Wars Era next to the Prequel Era.
Even if you are not a fan of Star Wars, the High Republic is worth a read as a standalone series. You don't need to know anything about Star Wars to understand it.
Star Wars has a very big library of books & comics - every era has great stories. Here are some of my favourites beyond the ones I already mentioned:
Darth Plagueis (Prequel era to beginning of the Empire)
Alphabet Squadron Trilogy (New Empire era)
Death Star (Original Trilogy)
Brotherhood & also Master & Apprentice (Prequel Trilogy)
The Padmé Trilogy (Prequel Trilogy)
The Lando Calrissian Trilogy (takes place years before the Original Trilogy)
Everything by Timothy Zahn (he's famous for creating Thrawn)
You see how I am unable to choose???
Apart from my quite big Star Wars literature obsession I love reading other science fiction works & also thriller/ horror stories.
Ethan Cross with his absolutely amazing serial killer Francis Ackermann Junior is my favourite thriller author, but I do enjoy Stephen King as well
Of course, Jules Verne & his works are worth mentioning too, his work is impressive considering what he had come up with back in his time!
A Walk Between Stars by Tyler. R. Parsons is a great novel, truly recommend it - a human is stuck in outer space & gets rescued by strange aliens
As a huge Five Nights at Freddy's fan, I (of course) own the novels as well & THEY ARE SO WORTH IT
Occasionally I like fantasy as well.
The Dune Universe by Frank Herbert is what I've started reading & I do like the idea, but I don't enjoy the main character - so I've stopped after the first book. I do want to try to read the whole series someday!
Walter Moers is my favourite fantasy author, his work is absolutely stunning & I treasure every single one. My favourite work would be the 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, which was the first novel I've read by him
Lord of the Rings & the Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. No words needed!
The Never Ending Story by Michael Ende (trust me, it's exceptional)
Momo by Michael Ende (teaches you a lot about compassion)
I like reading the nerdy books about astrophysics & quantum physics, but I haven't included them since - it would've been boring to read for you. My newest interest is neuroscience & I want to obtain the scientific books about that field as well!
There you have it, a general overview about my favourite books! (Finally over)
I was seriously touched by this ask.
Tumblr media
Even if you just asked to comfort me, it still means so much to me.
People actually care for me.
Thank you.

Fuck stupid movie dates in the cinemas that end in an awkward kiss.
Buy me your favourite book and annotate the shit o it of it- every line you love, every word, definitions of words I may not know, write sweet little annotations about which character you think I am. Highlight a whole chapter and say “I dream of us like this.”
I don’t want a love like the movies, I want a love like my goddamned imagination

I recently got a book from the library, named In the Ravenous Dark by A. M. Strickland, fascinated by the title and blurb, and took it home and read it. IT WAS THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ, NOT KIDDING. I found me a new favorite book and I'm planning on getting to the bookstore and buying myself a copy. 10/10 would recommend.

So, let's talk about Babel.
This is the last book review I'll post for the year and what a way to end it!
Let me just start by saying I loved this book. There were so many things to love in this book. R.F. Kuang builds this amazing world of Babel and makes you question everything.
I loved the writing style, I loved how intelligently written it was and I loved learning about translation!
The book is more of a character study than plot-driven, but these tend to be my favourite kinds of books, so that didn't really bother me too much.
R.F. Kuang dealt with a lot of things in this book, from racism, immigration, finding families, death and conspiracy.
One of the things I really loved was the Hermes Society, where everyone seemed to be a part of it, but no one really knew anyone else. It made me question if there really was a Hermes Society beyond the walls of Babel, or was it something that was just made up for the sake of recruiting people.
Overall, this book was a winner for me, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

If you enjoy space, astrology based magic system, chosen one and a planet trying to kill you : pick this one up.
It’s also set on a queer normative world. So. Cheers for that
And don’t forget, Space belong to queer people 🥰
I loved it so much, and I’m so excited for book 2 !

Her body is like reading your favourite book. You may have held it a countless times, perhaps even memorised some of its lines, but each time you unravel her pages, it hits different, a revived experience, rediscovering an unknown ecstacy...

someone asking what my favourite book is, looking for  a recommendation, and what my favourite  book is, just cause they want to know isn’t the same
in the first case, i will recommend you something i liked and i thing you will like too. in the second one i will tell you what  is the book i fell in love with, the one i can read over and over again but maybe i’m not sure you would like that too. it’s just  much more personal
