I don’t read too often, as I get distracted easily and will have to go back and reread paragraphs. Then I end up DNFing the whole thing.
I need something to hold my attention that’s well written without being ridiculously verbose with tons of difficult vocabulary or names. I’m not into fantasy or heavy romance. I’ve enjoyed nonfiction, but I’m looking more for fiction.
Books I did like: Nancy Drew (several in the series), Where the Red Fern Grows

Consider *Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine* by Gail Honeyman.
Where’d You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple
Several People are Typing by Calvin Kasulke is told entirely through Slack messages, so that might be a fit for something that can hold your attention and not be too verbose?
Since you’re traveling, When You Look Like Your Passport Photo, It’s Time To Go Home by Erma Bombeck. Fiction rec….. A Time To Kill by John Grisham (be aware there are TWs)
Maeve Binchy’s the Copper Beech – it’s a series of linked short stories with a big charming payoff at the end. Very chatty and readable.
I wouldn’t normally recommend John Grisham but, his stuff is well written/easy to read, and sometimes feels Nancy drew-ish
