I'm currently reading the Echo of Old Books and something about a book about a book is helping me get out of a reading slump caused by exhaustion from starting my professional career. But only random specific books have drawn me in lately that I can't really explain, so it's hard to find a new book to be obsessed with. So now I'd love to hear more suggestions for some good reads to get me back into it!
Some things I've enjoyed:
-anything by Andy Weir, Chuck Wendig, Kazuo Ishiguro, Frederik Bachman, AG Riddle, VE Schwab.
-other recent favorites: The God of the Woods, The Universe vs Alex Woods, The Light Pirate, Rock Paper Scissors, All of Us Villains,
-Love post-apocalyptic, light sci-fi/fantasy, magical realism, contemporary without a lot of romance, dystopian, anything with missing people, cults, sometimes thrillers.
-If it's in audiobook form, I'd also be interested in nonfiction or autobiographies about people with interesting/different lives. I enjoyed the Glass Castle, Educated, the Jill Duggar book
-very specific/random: books about early Arctic/Antarctic exhibitions that went wrong (Endurance, Madhouse at the End of the Earth). Books about missing people who come back (loved the Return of Ellie Black, Light Years From Home). Books about weird/unnatural occurrences popping up that are unexplained (like Wanderers, Annihilation).
-not a big fan of romance, high fantasy/elves/dragons, or mystery. Or books that start one way but then switch main characters/time frames part way through (couldn't get into the Passage or A History of Wild Places for those reasons).
