Any suggestions on where to look for book recs online?

Thanks for the recommendations <3

 

I haven't read much read stuff that has been published after 2000s and have barely liked what I have.

I ask this bcz most of the time I look up 'Best new books' or 'popular books', the recommendations are mostly smut, fantasy smut or cheap romance.

Idk if I just keep getting the wrong books recommended or that's how today's books are.

Also, recommend me some more recent books with good prose, well written characters, medium/slow paced.

I only realised this after I was well past my "Angry Atheist" phase: There are good verses in the Bible and there are also bad verses. Most of the Christians cherry pick. How they cherry pick depends on who they are. In my opinion, there aren't any real or fake christians. There's only good christians and bad christians.

What do u mean treating people like shit and then treating them a miniscule bit nicer don't cancel each other out?

Tbh, I'm feeling like chickening out too. It's so awful. I think this is the most a book has ever managed to touch me. But the prose is too good for me to put it down.

There's nothing about WhatsApp that makes it a good private messaging app
