Hey all,

I want to get back into reading instead of just watching TV series in my free time, so I was wondering if any of you have any good recommendations for any books I could try? I used to absolutely love reading and growing up I was completely obsessed with the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings books, but since I've grown up and had a family and career etc I just haven't had time to even think about it! Any suggestions similar to those?

Thanks xx

Hi OP. I've just binged A Court of Thorn and Roses by Sarah J Maas which was phenomenal. There is quite a lot of steamy content though so if you don't like that then the Throne of Glass series is also very good.

Otherwise what about Robin Hobb? The Farseer books are really beautiful.

Or Game of Thrones if you want a bit more gritty? Much better than the tv series.

They're quite old but David eddings 'the belgariad ' series might fit your bill. I really enjoyed them.
