i literally havent been able to read anything and i dont know why!!! its driving me insane
i like sci-fi, specifically books that feel like black mirror.
i like some historical fiction, like pachinko or all the light we cannot see.
i like horror, but i dont like haunted house/ghost horror books.
i like litfics. i like to ponder and i like page turners.
i like to think i like thrillers, but i read The Housemaid and i was severely disappointed.
im constantly chasing the high i got from Annie Bot by Sierra Greer, The Push by Ashley Audrain, My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell, and How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu.
any help would be appreciated. im going to the library soon and will love to tack some books onto my list!!

Books I couldn’t put down
Lonesome Dove
Demon Copperhead
The Goldfinch (some ppl find this one slow but I was enraptured the whole time but I’m also a sucker for ennui)
Piranesi
The Road
Never Let Me Go
Song of Achilles
The Troop by nick cutter, gross lord of the flies type of horror.
Wish You were Here by Jodi Picoult is a romance and I normally don’t like them but my friend forced me to read it and I’m so glad I did it has the craziest plot twist ever!
Verity & mad honey by colleen hoover again I don’t even like her but they were incredible thrillers.
Violetta by Isabel Allende was hard to put down takes place 1920 woman does what she wants and it was really good.
Julie Chan is dead by Liann Zhang is culty and creepy and really gripping too. I’m a librarian anytime you need a suggestion I’ve read hundreds of books.
My suggestion for these scenarios is The One by John Marrs. It’s light scifi/thriller, about an app that purports to connect you to your soulmate and the way it affects the lives of a group of people. It’s short chapters with multiple POVs and very twisty turny.
I know this is suggested all the time but it’s with good reason: 11/22/63 by Stephen King. It’s a little Black Mirror-y and sci-fi-y with time travel and incorporates historical fiction. It’s very long but I couldn’t put it down and even listened to the audiobook when I couldn’t read physically because I so badly wanted to see what happened (I rarely do audiobooks).
The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle felt very much like an episode of Black Mirror
