call for recs

[tigriswolf]

So, I’ve been reading more than anything lately. So far, it’s all been rereads of my favorites, as I’d planned to read through my entire bookcase to see if I still wanted all the books on it. I have quite a few library books that I haven’t read before, but I’ll take recs, if anyone has anything in particular they think I’d enjoy.

Genres?

[tigriswolf]

Anything but romance. That includes fantasy romance or adventure romance or whatever.

(If romance happens during the course of the plot, that's fine; but no romance that the plot revolves around.)

I have not read most of those, actually.

However, another note: no child death or animal death, if possible. Or horror. Which ones should I remove?

I'm fond of The Emerald City of Oz. There's a really funny segment.
