I tend to pick books which are a bit harder going, abd have lost my reading mojo a bit. I dont have heaps of time to dedicate and I think my usual choices need a bit more time than I have.

I'd live recommendations for easy enjoyable reads to get me started again. Open to most things. Thank you!

I like Millie Johnson or Jojo Moyes for a nice enjoyable read. Also, second PP on Sally Page.

Almost finished Rachel Joyce's The Music Shop - what a joy it is! Ideal light and easy read with some real laugh out loud bits.

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe. It’s not high end literature by any means of the imagination but it’s a really easy read. I’ve just read it while I’ve been in bed with the flu and am hooked enough to want to read the next one in the series.

The Keeper of Stories and The Secrets of Flowers, both by Sally Page are good too.

The Salt Path by Raynor Wynn got me back into reading last year, it's a beautiful book about a couple who lose everything and despite one having a life limiting illness, just start walking with a small tent, It's a really uplifting easy read.
There are two books that follow on as well, The Wild Silence and Landlines.

How to Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie is very funny and a very easy read too.
