A short, curated guide — not an automatic related dump. Figures come from SubMouse's safe-for-work directory when we have them.
r/suggestmeabook (about 3.4M members, directory rank #304) exists so readers can describe tastes and get personal recommendations. Long-form book discussion and a second recommendation community each serve different jobs.
See also books vs suggestmeabook and suggestmeabook vs booksuggestions on SubMouse.
Stay on suggestmeabook when the goal is “what should I read next.” Use books for broader reading discussion, and booksuggestions as a sibling recommendation room with a similar ask format.
