📚 currently crashing out, no good books in sight: book recs

I'd totally recommend "the perks of being a wallflower or looking for alaska" if you're looking for sad but comforting vibes, then "girl in pieces and zoo station" for heart-wretching books that talk about addictions (a little life too, but i never fished it bc it was just too much), i'd aslo recommend solitaire by alice oseman (and the entire hearstopper series) if you want some melanchonic and bittersweet vibes, hope this helps<333

lwky don't know how to reply to replies on this website but ill definitely give your book rec's a go!! I've also already read a little life and loved it to be honest, honestly one of the best written books ive read<3 

I've also read heartstopper as well!!

if not yet read, maybe crime and punishment by dostoevsky

Maybe a little out there, but I've been reading The blind earthworm in the labyrinth and I'm only a quarter through but i love it so much. Its a Thai book that got translated to English and the translators kept the poetics of Thai throughout. It kind of reads like fiction told through poetry which threw me off a little at first but the way everything is described is so beautiful! i saw it described as kinda telanovela-ey which i can see but i super recommend it!

Okay, so I know there's the whole joke about no one ever reading Infinite Jest, and it does not start out strong, but when it gets going, it hits so hard. There are scenes that had me cackling and other bits where it goes into the details of the lives that addicts lead that had me sobbing within 10 minutes. It also articulates the feeling of just being out of sorts better than any other book I've ever read. 

Okay, this book might not be the EXACT feeling ur looking for, but the DRAMA. I know people were going crazy over it for a minute give it a chance! If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio

Its got quiet cozy moments, and Shakespeare, and drama, and romance, and fighting, and mystery! It was one of my best reads last year fr

This is 100% NOT the type of book you are looking for but I've been reading Tales from the Gas Station (I'm on Volume 3) and it is the funniest and one of the most favourite books I've read. It is also in the horror genre too, which is neat.

I wish you well on your literature journey <3
