As the title says. I want to read, my pregnancy is rough and I need an escape. I'd prefer fast and easy reads which allowd me to think about something else for a while because I'm sooooo sick of being pregnant.
An overview of what I like:
I was surprised to enjoy Dungeon Crawler Carl quite a lot 🙂
A few of my favourites are Project Hail Mary and Notes on an Execution, and I've devoured quite a few Blake Crouch-books recently.
Also really enjoyed Fourth Wing, but hated ACOTAR. Can't explain why haha.
Any recs?

I reread Harry Potter when that happened to me and it really hit the spot. Also great on audio book.
I’d recommend Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series and Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series.
The Murderbot series by Martha Wells
A Brothers Price by Wen Spencer.
In a world where males are rarely born, they’ve become a commodity–traded and sold like property. Jerin Whistler has come of age for marriage and his handsome features have come to the attention of the royal princesses. But such attentions can be dangerous–especially as Jerin uncovers the dark mysteries the royal family is hiding.
_The English Understand Wool_, by Helen DeWitt; short and engrossing. Give it more than just the first few pages–things change
Perhaps try Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” graphic novels. You either like them or you don’t, but if you do they’re astounding.
Murderbot series, first book is all systems red, by Martha wells.
No pregnancy or romance. A sentient construct (cyborg) frees itself from corporate enslavement and has an identity crisis until it saves some overly fielding humans who insist on treating it like a person.
It’s funny, fast, and had action.
The Iron druid chronicles, first book is Hounded, by Kevin hearne.
All belief in gods makes them real. The last living did is in hiding until bachus finds him and he’s on the run. His partner in crime is his Irish wolf hound that he has a telepathic link to.
Quick read, several books, cool mythology references
The scholomance series, first book is a deadly education, by Naomi Novick.
This book is technically ya, but it doesn’t read like it. This is Harry potter if it was made to fit in the real world. Our protagonist is a young girl destined to become a dark sorceress trying in every way to survive and not use dark magic. When the hero of the school starts watching her suspiciously, they develop a weird chemistry.
Very interesting magic system, great plot, 3 books, I actually cried reading it.
