Hopefully the pictures of my Kindle collection work.

I’ve been in a reading slump for months and part of that is due to book paralysis as I’m terrible at choosing books.

I want to select 5 of these to read soon. Which would you suggest or which do you think you’d like to read to help me to narrow my Kindle selection down?

TIA

I've read Prairie Fires and the Charles Dickens biography and really liked both.

I really enjoyed Entangled Life. Much more fascinating than it sounds.

I haven’t no but I’ve been meaning to read Educated for some time now so that’s definitely going on the list too. Thank you!

I've read The Mitford Girls and the Charles Dickens, I'd go for the Mitford Girls out of the two.

Of those I’d choose a double bill of The Mitford Girls and Kick or Prairie Fires

Prairie Fires is epic, she covers so much ground.

I would read Tunnel 29 and the ones about Sophie Scholl and Sylvia Plath.

Edit: to add Plath. Didn’t realise there was a third pic.

Entangled Life was mind-blowing!

Prairie Fires is really good but it does help to be a massive Laura Ingalls Wilder fan.

I’d start with the Tomalin Dickens biography, then The Mitford Girls, then William Dalrymple’s Anarchy, then Prairie Fires.
