Hello!
I used to be a pretty avid reader, but for various dumb reasons such as downloading tiktok, or getting more into seasons (RHOBH and Gilmore Girls are on my NECK), I’ve been quite lazy with discovering books and being excited to read them. In my defence, I think my main issue is I don’t know what my favourite genre is, as I don’t know what genre the books I enjoy fall into (whether that’s one genre or five).
Please can I be advised on what genre it sounds like I enjoy reading based on past reads, as well as given new suggestions to try out? (Apologies if this is incredibly dumb, I just want to be able to find books I like more efficiently)
Books I’ve liked and read:
Ortessa Moshfegh – My Year of Rest and Relaxation
R.F Kuang – Yellowface
Dolly Alderton – Everything I Know About Love, Ghost
Sally Rooney – Normal People, Conversations with Friends
Books I’ve read/stopped reading because I couldn’t get into them for some reason:
Sally Rooney – Beautiful World, Where are You
Coco Mellors – Cleopatra and Frankenstein
Bernadine Evaristo – Girl, Woman, Other
Bella Mackie – How to Kill Your Family
edit: I know based on attempts to read that I don’t like “mum-lit style” books e.g Colleen Hoover pls don’t judge me if you like them it’s just not for me xxx
