(Would be great if it’s in kindle unlimited!)
I have a few different types of books I’m looking for!! Pls help with any! (I’m looking for STAND ALONE NOVELS)
-
Really want to read a book like Before I Fall, I love the day looping aspect. Could be life looping too, or anything weird that involves replaying things.
-
Some sort of time travel book, or a book that shows what happens throughout years and years. I personally love any historical fiction.
-
I really love fictional autobiographies. Ie: memories of a geisha. Any other books like this would be amazing, I prefer to read from female narrators for this sort tho!! And I love it to be historical.
-
Any amazing life changing novel??? Anything that is just beautiful?? Can be any genre, as long as it’s not a “book tok” book… and not JUST romance, romance can be there but I don’t want it to be the only genre (historical + romance, fantasy + romance, sci fi + romance… etc)
THANK YOU A

Claire North loves to play in this space. *The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August* comes the closest to the sort of time looping you’re describing, but she has others, like *Touch* and *The Sudden Appearance of Hope* that follow a character whose life has a slightly altered rule set.
Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. Historical fiction that spans a few generations. It is a stunning piece of work, in my top 5 novels of all time.
Check out In Powder Blue it follows Vincent LoCicero, a young man haunted by grief after losing his mother in the 9/11 South Tower attacks. Raised by an alcoholic father in a fractured home, Vincent is drawn into his uncle’s criminal world, seeking belonging and survival. The novel explores themes of addiction, betrayal, family legacy, and trauma, set against the backdrop of post-9/11 Levittown, Long Island
