I knew that it was going to be quite difficult to do this. When I told my partner, Tengo, that I would be answering this prompt, I had a feeling that I may struggle with this one because I have read so many books to be able to just pick one. I do not only juggle fiction but also self-help materials, and some that have knowledge of the universe.
If I were to recommend, I would start with the “once-4-life” wonders. You know those books that you read once and can’t bring yourself to read again because your heart broke into a million pieces but it was so good that you can never forget it? Well, I have a book like that. It still sits in my e-library and it is fiction. I was in tears and a blubbering mess reading A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole.
This book definitely did a number on me because I had no courage to read any of her works after that. Despite the beautiful reviews and the praises for the sequel (the story of the side character), I just couldn’t bring myself to get them. What if they finished what the previous book started and left my heart aching? The thing is, this book wasn’t your typical tragedy, it was a dreamy tragedy. Tillie took emotions, stripped them down and wrapped them in words then put them in a book. The whole buildup and the fall was painfully beautiful. Beautiful pain.
Well, that was one of them. This other one is also fiction but this time it is a series, dark and psychologically warping. It is not for the weak and written by my favourite author (God rest her soul) C.M Owens but she used an alias for this S.T ABBY. If you by chance noticed that taking out the dot would leave you with Stabby, then you have a preview of what this looks like. It is labelled The Mindfuck Series and with good reason because it will fuck with your mind. You find yourself on the line between good and evil as the observer. It is a whole new kind of genre if you ask me and I have read the whole series twice because I needed to adequately review it, hence the second read. If you are ‘life is rainbows and sunshine’ type, maybe don’t read. Ah, then we have Verity by Colleen Hoover… oof! I am rambling. See why I said it would be difficult? Verity is a book I couldn’t read more than once but left me feeling like I was a better person than I was reading it. I am laughing…
When it comes to self-help material, I always say that The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy is a must read at least once in your lifetime. It is a book of secrets, secrets that when explored will blow your mind. Another is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, a classic one. This is a book that can’t be overlooked no matter how many years old. This book and the author, will guide your imagination if you let them and show you just how to harness unseen resources for your success. The last but not the least and one of my absolute favourites is The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth by John C. Maxwell. I read this book once every three months to assess my growth and then evaluate them. It always comes in handy when I feel like I have hit a wall. A true gem that hasn’t lacked its power despite the ages. This is why they say, the faintest pen is more powerful than the sharpest memory. So many ways to attribute that saying.
Well, I hope I haven’t bored you all with my book talk. If you do happen to read any of these or have read any of these, please leave us a comment telling us what you think about it. You can also go on to tell us what your favourite book is, or movies. Leave it in the comment section.

I really love how you explained everything with so much detail, this is truly the type of book-content I really enjoy.
I must admit I haven't read any of the books you mentioned. Although I don't believe I will ever find myself reading anything from Colleen Hoover because her books are not my type of stories, I found various of the premises you mentioned to be very interesting or at least caught my attention, like A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole. I don't know if I'm prepared for that type of reading right now, but it's a book I'll definitely give a chance in the future.
Anyway, thanks for sharing this with us and for such a great post

Thank you! 🖤
And thank you for taking the time to read it. I'm so happy you like it. Hahaha. If not for the fact that I would have flowed over in words then I would have recommended some others from African authors but oh God! I would just be bordering the tl;dr line. 😂😂
Yeah I get that some people don't like Colleen Hoovers types of book. Maybe it's just like the way I can't stand mint Icecream? 😂
Well, when we talk about things we like, I believe it doesn't matter if we talk a lot about it 😂. And about Hoover, we all have different tastes! I see why people like her tho
I do know your penchant for books of certain genres @deraaa Although I call also say that ...
... really is you!
Think and Grow Rich is a staple for many peeps.
But my one recommendation would be The Secret by Rhonda Byrne based on the only law I admire ... The law of attraction.
!hiqvote
Ahhhh! I have always wanted to read that book. I think I should make time for it and see where it leads me. Eddie has a favourite book?! Holy crackers on Icecream! 😱
I thought you had by now.
I wasn't bored at all with your book talk, as a a matter of fact, I enjoyed them as I now have more books to add and move up the ladder in my library.
The self help book I'm currently reading is 'The Power of Your Subconscious Mind' by Joseph Murphy and I must say, that book can't be rated enough. It intricately explains the powers and abilities of our subconscious and how to utilize them. I can't deny that I have seen changes applying some of his methods outlined in that book.
I'd also recommend the 48 laws of Power by Robert Greene. It's one of the most effective tools for gaining power and self confidence as a human being.
See that 48 Laws of Power? I just completed a series that was themed around it. It's a powerful book alright but can be abused by a weak mind. That book requires a strong mental foundation before it can be effectively put to use. I read some where that it was the very secrets of war lords from old, and also the old and richest families. Just like "Art of War". Man, I should reread that book again especially after what I just watched.
I am impressed when you started with the book 48 laws of power and ended with art of war. I think the former has gained a lot more fame. Probably, due to the original language the books was written in.

I totally agree with you. Like every power tool, that book can also be abused in the wrong hands. I haven't read "Art of War" but I'm definitely going to check it out.
You are talking about a book that I have never came across before. So, I will just be generic. The taste of one might not be everyone's pick. For instance, if everyone was recommending a book to you, sometimes you start first few pages and you just stop reading it.
Isn't this the best thing when you finish a book or what..?
By the way, I do not read novels often. But, I will definitely check out the book you liked.
Hehehehe. Ronnie!!!! I say if you want to start with the novels, do the hard hard core. Straight to the Mindfuck. Lmao. I hope you enjoy scintillating psychological tickles wrapped in a revenge plot 🤭🙂↔️😆😘
You laugh.. I know it might be funny. But, some of the twisted novels are just the best. Some of them are bestsellers even.
hehehe.. I have read some of that sort. So, I set a high expectations for such novels.
