I have no hobbies, and I'd like to start reading but I have no idea what I'd like!

When I was in my early twenties I enjoyed the Martina Cole books but they got a bit samey and I just never picked it back up. I do find it difficult to get lost in a book but I think that's probably because I never found the right style.

What books have you read that gripped you? I'm open to trying all genres! Although nothing too high brow or intellectual - I am neither of these things 😊

I like Jodi Taylor - the first book is called “just one damn thing after another” and it’s about time travelling historians. So not like Martian coke, but they’re books I reread.

I am in the middle of reading Mad Honey by Jodie Picoult, I've read 4 of her books now and have always found them so unputdownable! Whenever I'm in a lull I pick one of hers up. Love the characters and that she tackles very relevant societal issues in her books. With her you are guaranteed a gripping & rewarding read.
