I haven't read in years, please could you tell me about your favorite books

[overthinkersanonnymus]

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’ve been enjoying books by Karen Swan recently.
They’re a teensy bit predictable in the romance parts (as in they all get their happy ever after) but the settings are all really different and the storylines are diverse and seem really well researched.

There is a 'thing' on TikTok called 'Blind date with a book'.

You select the genre you would like, then they send you a random book.

They come beautifully packaged with gorgeous paper, a herbal tea bag, a bar of choccie and a bookmark or something.

I ordered from them earlier this year and i was so impressed and it was a tad exciting unwrapping it to find what book I'd been sent.

If you're looking at getting into reading I highly recommend this!

I paid £11 all in and the Etsy shop was called 'The Magic Library'.
