I have been trying to get into fiction books and have a somewhat specific request as I don’t really know what I’m looking for. I used to read only self help/psychology books and have recently gotten into fiction after reading 1984 which I LOVED. However, I need a light hearted , not too heavy or sad, but still thought provoking book that will help me escape my day to day life right now and give me a healthy distraction. I usually love dystopias but I want to find something in a new category I don’t normally read and I gravitate towards dystopias. I’ve also been in a reading slump so maybe something on the shorter end or a fast paced page turner?
I hate fantasy (think any of the tiktok books), cheesy romance, YA unless it’s like Hunger Games or something similar, magically realism (think Remarkably Bright Creatures) haven’t really tried mystery but would be open to it.
I love realistic fiction, dystopias, historical fiction, poetry, contemporary, thought provoking
Side note: currently in the middle of Demon Copperhead and love it but it’s a little slow for me!
TYIA!!!! 🤍
