Bye:
This is the book
i like till now
damn I suck at adding images...
I was on my way to search one of my post and came across it. Even though I am interested in psychology topic, this book didn't got my interest instead there was one book, The Crime book by Peter James. It had so many documentaries with different section. Although I couldn't complete the whole book it was nice and interesting. There are many books like The Movie Book etc but I didn't had time to read all that since our a library classes were 45 mins ;)
Added some new Book Lover Emblem badges for those interested.

Hey everyone!
Does anyone know any books (any of the genres: action, thriller, drama, murder mystery, survival, apocalypse) that do not have (trigger warnings ahead) drugs, too many sm*ts, the r-word or contain gruesome details like detailed descriptions of how the murderers do stuff?
Examples of novels that do not contain any of those I mentioned and that I like reading:
please also tell me if the two left ones have an English translation of it!

-- Thank you in advance!
Does anyone know any books (any of the genres: action, thriller, drama, murder mystery, survival, apocalypse) that do not havelaw:
I think you might like the novels from Donna Leon about Commissario Brunetti as they are suspenseful without being gruesome but also a bit entertaining (Brunetti's family and colleagues also play a role in the novels). The setting is the beautiful Venice.
Or alternatively Inspector Montalbano from Andrea Camilleri, set in Sicily.
Charlotte Link is another recommendation. She writes psychological suspense crime novels. They are deep and thought provoking but not gruesome as far as I know (I haven't read all her novels).
If you are interested in classics, of course there is Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.
This book about North Korea was based on interviews from defectors from the same remote northern region. It almost read like a novel as many of the people were interconnected in some way. Fascinating and terribly sad.
It's the Lenten season for me, so more of my books will be religious in nature that I won't be posting about. Happy reading book family! ❤
I'm really not doing well on my objective to read more this year TT...
But with March beginning, I feel that I need to motivate myself and set achievable targets to try more on that XD
So I decided to make a short list of books that I want to read in order to spike up a bit my interest ^^"""" Let's see how that goes ><""" I will pick one among those and hope for the best lol :D
There are quite a bit of series rather than solo book but well...Hopefully that inspires me more XD

Really nice picks. I have read The Modern Faerie Tales series by Holly Black, still need to read The Folk of the Air series. :)
Currently I'm reading Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation Volume 1.
Good luck with your reading plan. ^.^
I forgot to do my February check-in
So I finished two books, both from the internet! Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint had me curious after hearing some buzz about it. I originally started reading the webtoon and after I caught up I switched to the light novel. It's enjoyable but I also didn't really feel the need to read volume 2. It sounds like it just gets better and better the more you read, but the ML felt a little bit too much like a Mary Sue for me. I didn't get to really see him plan things out at all, I didn't get to see him fail at all... yeah.....
The other webnovel I finally finished was Beware of Chicken by Casualfarmer. I started reading this a few years ago thanks to a recommendation by someone I worked with. It's honestly a really fun and wholesome read. For lovers of slice-of-life, I think it's a good time. I actually started reading it online and then waited for the physical book to be released. Really hoping they'll also publish volume 2 in physical format, but even if they don't I was really satisfied with the ending of volume 1. It was just so precious and sweet. :')

Thanks :-D hopefully, I manage to stick to the plan (at least partially ^^)
I am halfway through the 1st book of the folk of the Air series ✨️✨️✨️ Entertaining so far, even though I'm pretty sure I already guessed one of the main revelation lol ?
Enjoy Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, The Untamed was so so good that it is one of my priority this year :'] just watched it in February ❤️
