Hey! I’m really looking forward to reading more this year. I just ended an 8 year relationship, lost my job, had to move back with my dad and I’m of course really broke at 29. I’m feeling kinda down, like a shell of myself but it all happened in the last months of 2025 so now I’m looking for a reset in all aspects of my life and would love books that allow me to feel as much emotions as possible to go through my grief/creative process and finding the world interesting again I guess . I’m a 3D designer but I’ve been feeling really stuck and blocked since I lost my job, I’m from Mexico so I can read in Spanish too. I can read fiction, non fiction and everything in between. Hope this wasn’t too long thank youuuuuuu (edit: maybe not relevant but forgot to say I’m a woman jeje )

I’ve just read “The Mountain in the Sea” by Ray Nayler which is described as a sci-fi about a species of octopus that has developed communication and culture (though it is has multiple other storylines as well with similar themes). If you are interested in animals, science, or people it might be a nice “feel-good” book for you. Some of the characters may be relatable for you as someone going through a hard time but I think it still ended on a positive note. 🙂
This probably isn’t even remotely what you’re searching for but a book that made me feel a lot of emotions is Invisible by Eloy Moreno. There isn’t an English version so you’ll have to read it in Spanish (unless you know another language that it was translated into, haha).
It says it’s for kids, and sure, it is… but I first read it when I was in my early 20s, and I read it again in my late 20s, and I still enjoyed it.
This is the book blurb (or whatever it’s called, haha):
>Emotiva, conmovedora, diferente… Invisible narra, a través de los ojos de un niño, una historia que podría ser la de cualquiera de nosotros.
¿Quién no ha deseado alguna vez ser invisible?
¿Quién no ha deseado alguna vez dejar de serlo?
El problema es que nunca he llegado a controlar bien ese poder:
A veces, cuando más ganas tenía de ser invisible, era cuando más gente me veía, y en cambio, cuando deseaba que todos me vieran, era cuando a mi cuerpo le daba por desaparecer.
Maybe you’ll like it.
