Where should i start? any book recs? (newbie)

Questions and Answers

Hello all, so this year i have been doing some soul diving, i've honestly tried every religion at least once but so far none have felt like 'me'. And since my family has no religious background i have the freedom to choose luckily (but they are still critical about religion in general lol but still feel eager to find one)

I'm coming at this with a complete blank slate i know Judaism like other religions has a wide spectrum but i've found Reform Judaism has the closest beliefs that i share anyway and i feel the most comfortable with dipping my toes into.

I was wondering if any one would be kind enough to share what books a total newbie like me with no clue should look into? or just. your favorite/most approachable books on any topic i feel like i don't have an exact map on where to go but i have been doing some basic research into things. I would also like any youtubers /podcasts you watch and listen to i have explored some already but i would like more real people's opinions rather than just a simple google search.

Thank you.
