New To Reading

Hi everyone,

I’m 26F and want to get back in to reading. When I was finishing high school, I was put off from reading with all the over analysing, essays and reading books that I didn’t necessarily enjoy.

Since then, I have not gone to university and feel as thought I am losing a lot of my vocabulary. However, I will also be starting to learn Spanish soon, and have obtained some textbooks and beginner stories to read.

I am after some recommendations or classics that can help expand my vocabulary, and I like to be very open minded. Here are some topics I enjoy:

• true crime
• feminism and other activist movements
• world wars
• history
• geography

I generally lead towards non-fiction, however open to fiction stories based on real world events. So far from reading other subs, I am looking at getting some books by bell hooks and Erik Larson.

Thank you so much for your help! 🙂
