book recs for jwcc/jwct fans!

Hi, for all of my fellow dinonerds and book-lovers, I decided to put together a short list of book recommendations, inspired by jwcc and jwct! I tried to divide it into sections, so hopefully everyone will find something right up their alley!

What you will find under the cut:

a mix of children's books, YA, and adult books

stand-alones, book series, and manga

fantasy, romance, adventure, horror, and mystery

the "if you like this character, you may end up enjoying this book"

just a bunch of books worth checking out!

Each book's description is followed by tags to help you get a gist of what may await you!

Found family + dangerous adventure:

The Mysterious Benedict Society (Trenton Lee Stewart)

Tells a story about a gifted group of kids who, by eccentric Mr. Benedict's doing, must enroll in a special school to save the world from being brainwashed by Mr. Benedict's evil twin. The kids must learn to trust and rely on each other, or else their mission will fail spectacularly.

The Mysterious Benedict Society is a quartet, and I especially recommend (The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey) in which the kids must set off on a great and dangerous adventure across the world.

Genre, tags: children's book (Loved it even in my teens tho), adventure, found family, mystery

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun series (AidaIro)

Our main character – Nene – summons one of the school ghosts – Hanako-kun – and finds herself becoming her assistant. Together they fight evil spirits, cross the thin line between human and magical realm, discover secrets of the past, make new friends, and... fall in love a little bit.

If you're looking for a long series about an unlikely friendship with a lot of paranormal stuff going on, plenty of humor, lovable characters, and a sprinkle of romance – this is for you.

Genre and tags: YA (on the younger side), fantasy, paranormal, found family, mystery, very very slow burn

Horror:

When Ghosts Call Us Home (Katya de Becerra)

The entire book revolves around the idea of an analog-horror movie going viral. The movie was recorded by a teen (Layla) and starred her younger sister (Sophie), and took place in their old house. Years later, Layla disappears, and Sophie must go back to their haunted house to find out what happened to her sister and face her own past.

Genre, tags: YA, mystery, gothic horror, thriller, paranormal

The Twisted Ones (T. Kingfisher)

The 'oh-there's-something-in-the-woods' book. If you really liked jwcc season 3, I think you may really enjoy it. It's plenty spooky, full of suspense, and gives you chills. Best to pick it up with as little prior knowledge as possible.

Genre, tags: Horror, Adult, Mystery

Darius:

Jurassic Park (Michael Crichton)

A millionaire brings dinosaurs back from the dead. Surely nothing will go wrong?

A story about a bunch of boys going to a prestigious school and... haunting a dead Welsh king. Plot twist? One of these boys is supposed to die very soon, as predicted by one Blue Sargent – a daughter of a local psychic.

This series is messy, mysterious, and smells simultaneously like a rich cologne and dark woods.

Genre, tags: YA, found family, mystery, daddy issues sprinkled all over the place

Most Ardently (Gabe Cole Novoa)

Ben:

Eragon (The Inheritance Cycle series) (Christopher Paolini)

MUTAFUKAZ FANART 🗣️💥‼️

Idk what else to say erm go watch the movie or some clips nyehehe

[iaf]

look i know this fandom practically dead

but i did not just watch the movie and binge read ALL THE COMICS including the sequel comics just to NOT draw fanart

[iaf]

my take on the miss piggy/morticia addams sexywoman poll is that while morticia would lose gracefully, miss piggy would 1000% attempt murder over the label and morticia would respect her for it. then theyd go out for tea and gossip together

[iaf]

This show and its parallels

[iaf]

This may be controversial but Dinostar to me is big jacket (Brooklynn) and big pants (Darius)
