Starting to read for pleasure after a decade away. Looking for suggestions to ease back into it
Hi everyone! I was an absolutely voracious reader as a child but fell out of love with it a bit in my young adult life. Recently circumstances have gotten me back into it and im really enjoying myself but need more suggestions or places to start as im pretty overwhelmed. Im a single mom to a toddler who wont fall asleep independently so ive been reading next to her in bed while she drifts off.
I dont know what drew me back to it but i started with The Giver which i read back in middle school and enjoyed very much this second time. I quickly read the other books in the quartet and really loved those as well.
Some other factors I would consider are: none or very little romance, easy to pick up/get into and nothing incredibly emotionally intense. I appreciate any suggestions or ideas!
