    I fear that I have been using my phone more than read, when back then the ratio was reverse. I need a book that could get me back into reading cause for some reason I dont find any books I find interesting, not even the books I own.

    If it helps narrow down a suggestion, Im majorly a YA reader but Id like to venture out of that now that Im no longer in the target market. My favorite books are: History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera, Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler, Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver, and Don't Let the Forest In by C.G Drews. But I just need any book that could pull me back in, doesn't have to be similar to the ones I have.

    If its possible, the book has little to no romance.

      You need to try out a fantasy adventure which takes you to that world. I have written one which has so many Harry Potter, Narnia, Pokemon, Marvel and other fun references.[A TRAIL LOST IN TIME](https://a.co/d/f1PshJa)

      The Road by Cormac McCarthy. An intense and digestible thought provoking page turner [with less than zero romance, unless you count the beautiful relationship between a boy and his father lol]

      If that’s the criteria, I can tell you Dark Matter does not fit. If you do want a similar story to Dark Matter, there’s the novella [And Then There Were N-1](https://escapepod.org/2018/11/01/escape-pod-652-and-then-there-were-n-one-part-1/) by Sarah Pinsker which I believe has slightly less focus on romance (but not by much, also doesn’t solve the using-phone-less problem because this is an online publication)

      Some books I found engaging which have little to no romance you might like:

      * A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher

      * Leech by Hiron Ennes

      * The Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohamed. Very short.

      * I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman

      * Jade City by Fonda Lee. Fairly long.
