I used to love fictional and fantasy books but as I’ve grown I prefer watching movies and series related to fiction and fantasy, and I want to get into the genre of reading more about psychology as it’s always been one of my biggest passions. Can anyone recommend some good fun beginner friendly psych books to start with? Or maybe even other genres I could potentially explore?
