Books to help me get back into reading as an adult
Hello friends! As the title states, I’m looking for books to help me get back into reading as an adult.
I used to be a huge reader as a kid and young adult but in my early teens I started really struggling with some mental health issues that left me pretty much completely disinterested in reading.
Now I’m 26 and doing much better mentally and have regained my interest in reading! I’ve already revisited my favorites from my younger years like The Outsiders, The Giver, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Inheritance Cycle, the Harry Potter series, The Hunger Games trilogy, Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit, and a few others which has been fun and nostalgic and a great way to get me back into the groove of reading. Now I want something new and interesting to read that’s maybe a bit more geared towards adults, so hit me up with your recommendations!
