Since my ds was born 1 year ago i have read 1 book!! I used to be able to read a book in a weekend.
I want to get back into something, not to sad, needs to be interesting from the start but an easy read for now and not sonething easy to forget ( dont want to have to re read whole sections when its been days since i last picked it up) Thanks

Start with Quick read books they are around £1 each, I found that helped me get back in to reading.

I've recently started reading again after a long hiatus. I recommend:

A Thousand Splendid Suns
Circe
The Hate U Give
An American Marriage

My name is Eve -really enjoyed this book.

One a Day in December

Little Women - worth reading as well

The 24 Hour Cafe by Libby Page may be worth a try.

The chapters are quite short and its easy to put down and pick up again where you left of.

Also loved One Day in December like the above poster :)
