i haven't read in a while and i'll have nothing much to do this summer, so might as well get back into it
my favorite genres are thriller, urban fantasy and sci-fi, but not the space kind of sci-fi (if that makes any sense). post-apocalyptic is good if it's done well - so no hunger games YA dystopian shit i'm not big on romance (if it's not a huge plot point then i'm fine w it)
gimme ur recs g/u/rls

Traveler and the Moonlight or Journey By Moonlight Don't read anything before hand so you don't spoiler yaself Its the best book I've ever read Pretty unknown, written by a hungarian author in WWII. I think he died in that time so nobody rly knows about him. You have to read it to the end (its not long) or you feel like something is missing in your soul, but when you do it gives you allot of positivity. And write a post here when you finished it, and tell us if you like it <3

Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve is set in a post-mass-world-war world where cities have become mobile and eat each other to survive.
It's a children's book mainly, but not YA shit, don't worry. If anything, it takes the prevalent YA tropes and, just, strangle them. It can get very dark in that way.

Beside the Ocean of Time by George Mackay Brown. It's an interesting book and I feel it fits your criteria. Granted it's not very easy to come by (never found an ebook version myself) but as >>47b04d said it speaks to something in your soul that you never knew existed. Story of how I found it also makes it special for me though.

You must always not ignore the classics, OP. 'Do androids dream of electric sheep' from Philip Dick is one.

I know you mentioned not being into space scifi, but Long Way to an Angry Planet is one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's more character driven than plot driven, and you really do get attached to the crew.
