I used to read a lot. I wanna get back to it for multiple reasons. The issue is if a book doesn’t click for me then i’m miserable reading it lol.
I mostly like YA books but I feel like I have to read something more mature now?? The only non YA book I’ve read and liked recently is The Silent Patient
Some of my favorite books
The Hunger Games
All the Bright Places
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Harry Potter
The Outsiders
Twilight
The Maze Runner
The Hate U give
Five Feet Apart
Everything Everything
Simon vs the homosapiens (love simon)
The fault in our stars
One of us is Lying
Holding up the Universe
They Both Die at the End
Shatter Me Series
In general I like romance, mystery, mental health, social justice, murder, dystopian society, and supernatural themes
Thanks in advance!

you don’t have to read something more “mature” just because you’re 20. Plenty of adults read YA.
check out the specific subs: romancebooks or fantasyromance for example. They have a few “beginner” recommendations and discussions.
something that is all the hype right now and a starting point for many new & younger romantasy readers is ACOTAR by Sarah J Maas and Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. Both are a little smutty not sure if you are okay with that.
Try Hyperion. It’s a great book.
I’m 20 too so I get the feeling of wanting to read more mature books. But don’t listen to it if it truly makes you miserable. Reading is meant to be enjoyed, so read what you enjoy.
Some books I’ve enjoyed within the last year that I can recommend include The Poppy War trilogy, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and Never Let Me Go.
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Fourth Wing!!
