Book Recommendations

5 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 17, 2017

Eager to read a good book, but unsure what to try next? Well, I have an arsenal of book lists in my head for almost every genre. Just tell me the last three books you've read, what genre you're interested in, and what reading length floats your boat (short, long, or don't care). I'll provide three recommendations, along with the book blurbs and a one-sentence review from me or others to aid in your decision. Here are my genres of expertise:

+ Literary classics
+ Contemporary fiction
+ Adult and YA fantasy
+ Sci-fi
+ Non-fiction (especially psychology)
+ Memoirs
+ Self-help
+ Short stories
+ Plays
+ Graphic novels/Manga

Training & Qualifications


I received my Bachelor of Arts in English and psychology with minors in creative writing and professional writing, so reading books was a core part of my curriculum. In addition, every year I read 50-70 books of varying lengths and genres.

Diane was a very patient person to deal with, she understood that life happens and that I couldn't get her book mark on time.

About Diane Callahan

Hi there! My name is Diane, and writing is my life's passion. I received my B.A. in Honors English and psychology with minors in creative writing and professional writing from THE Ohio State Universit...y. I hope to someday obtain an M.F.A. in Creative Fiction. I'm a full-time freelancer, with my responsibilities split between being a developmental editor of fantasy novels, an online writing and psychology tutor, and a university application reader. In my free time, I write fantasy and sci-fi stories, and my dream is to become a prolific author. Like all writers, I'm an avid reader, and I aim to read at least 70 books per year in a variety of genres, including the classics, fantasy/sci-fi, thrillers, YA, contemporary fiction, psychology, memoirs, and comic books/manga. You can see how I analyze popular fiction and the writing craft on my YouTube channel, Quotidian Writer.show more
