I’m 16 and trying to get into reading more, but I don’t want to fall into the trap of only reading one type of books. could you give me 5 books from different genres that’s either really fun to read or actually helpful in some way.
Could be fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, self-help, mystery, whatever, as long as each one feels a bit different and not boring. Not looking for anything super slow or dry, just books that hit and feel worth the time.
