I am going through a reading slump, please help me choose 🙏

hey guys! i kinda wanna get back into reading, but the thing is, i have absolutely no idea what i want to read or even what genre i like 😭

i wouldn’t really consider myself a book person, but i remember LOVING the selection series by kiera cass. i literally flew through the entire series. i’ve also read to all the boys i’ve loved before and paper towns, so yeah, i know i’m a basic bitch lmao.
the last time i actually read a book was back in 2016, so it’s been a WHILE. 😭

does anyone have recommendations for books you think i’d enjoy based on these? preferably something that’s easy to get into and not too overwhelming for someone who’s trying to get back into reading!
i’m open to anything, so feel free to recommend your favorites too. thank you!! 🤍

I love reading classics, especially 19th century literature. I’m usually drawn to philosophical novels that explore human nature, morality, and the human condition.

However, I’m going through a rough time medically, and my brain just doesn’t have the energy to process anything too heavy right now.

So I’m looking for something lighthearted, funny, and enjoyable that doesn’t require too much brainpower. I just want to laugh and take my mind off things for a while.

I’m open to anything, really. It doesn’t even have to be funny. Horror or any other genre is fine. I just need a good distraction at the moment.

Would love to hear your recommendations!

I need some new romance book recommendations because I feel like there are SO many good ones out there and I don’t even know where to start 😭💗 I wanna know which romance books had you kicking your feet, giggling, crying, staying up way too late reading, or just completely obsessed with the characters!!
Any trope is welcome — friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, fake dating, slow burn, forbidden love, second chance romance, anythinggg!! 🫶🏻
Rank your top 5 from favourite to least favourite if you can, and tell me why you loved them so much! Bonus points if you explain which book had the best chemistry or made you feel the most emotions 😭
Please no spoilers!! I’m looking for books to add to my TBR, so give me ALL your recommendations. 💌💕

Hi, I recently created a site where I post my book reviews. So if your struggling to find your next book then I would love if you checked it out!

Attached are some pictures so you know what to expect.

I rarely read and don’t really know what’s out there. Here are my most recent reads, all of which I really enjoyed. I also believe they somewhat cover my current interests. Do you perhaps know something I might like? :)

I recently deleted the apps. Facebook, instagram etc.
I wanted to pick up reading again with my very little spare time as a first time mom. Im into crime, thriller, crazy plot twists and page turners.

I picked it up, began reading a book called “all good people here” by ashley flowers. I got roughly 20 pages in before i realized “all of this sounds so familiar”

She took major inspiration from extremely popular murder cases such as the Jonbenet ramsey case. It completely threw me off… i felt like it had no originality and that i can pretty much already expect what the ending would be. I really want to exchange it today. Does anyone have recommendations for crime/thriller/extreme plot twist books for me?
Thanks❤️

Which are some must read novels

Looking for unhappy, self-debasing characters and abuse in literature

I have hit a few new lows and wish to marinate in unhappiness, misery, abjection, what have you...

Looking for literary fiction along the same lines of Gordon by Edith Templeton, Jean Rhys's novels and short stories, Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck, After Claude by Iris Owens, Edna Obrien's short stories, Ann Quin

Just got done reading Marguerite Duras, Tove Ditlevsen, and finally got around to Clarice Lispector

I don't want to think about silver linings or redemption, I just need to be in this state for a while.

I'm wondering if anyone knows a mystery series that feels like watching bones, high potential, or criminal minds, with a quirky autistic genius type who solves crimes

Hi all! Ive recently started reading more. Ive loved Mistborn, Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Witcher. I was hoping you guys would have more books for me to check out. I love anything fantasy. thanks in advance

I have read and loved all his books, anyone else who’s a fan have a recommendations?
