I read all the little books by Hiromi Kawakami, they are light, magical and practical. start with *People In My Neighborhood.*
That got me back into reading and i even logged into my goodreads after 15 years, lol.

I hadn’t read for probably 20 years, and stumbled on Fair Coin by EC Myers. Nothing earth shattering, but it definitely reignited my passion for reading.

I was in a big slump during the pandemic. I had received *Killing Commendatore* by Haruki Murakami as a gift and decided to crack it open. It took a while to get into it, but I was eventually hooked.

The poppy war! Not a genre I’d usually go for, but it hooked me right from the beginning!
