I want to get into reading, help?

I’m not really too sure what to start with! I find myself doing too much stuff on my phone, even if it’s just browsing a particular story I found interesting. I’d rather read instead, but I don’t want to get a book i’m not going to like.

The last time I found myself really reading was in a residential treatment center, and with the lack of options, I only found myself enjoying one book: Recovery Road, by Blake Nelson. I literally finished it in one night, I stayed up and couldn’t stop reading it.

Besides that, I really enjoy true crime, mysteries, horror, non fiction, romance (dark romance maybe?), etc. I’m kind of a nut about diving deep into peculiar cases/events. In the past I’ve kinda stuck to these categories and I’ve really enjoyed them, I just have a problem with discovering new books, because as soon as I finish reading it, I pick up a new book and am dissatisfied with it in comparison to the last. That might be a personal issue I gotta fix though.

I have read certain books which really drag it on or can’t seem to contribute anything new which I also struggle to stick with. I can read long books and series, i just don’t really enjoy when it seems that the word count is more valuable than what the book is even about.

I just want something really interesting thats gonna mess with my head and give me something to think about which makes me eager to continue reading.

I would just like to gather a few suggestions and make some purchases on books, so I can really stock up and try it out. Thanks!🩷
