I love to read, I always have and read a ton. My partner doesn't exactly share that love. She'll read maybe a book every year and always non-fiction. She hasn't read fiction probably since high school (we're in our 30s).
For 2026 we decided to start a book club together to encourage her to read more fiction. I'm looking for a few books for her to choose from to kick off the book club. Our parameters:
• 200-300 pages to start. I think it's important for something that's feels digestible.
•No YA or pulp fiction – good reads that challenge us to think but are accessible.
•She indicated something with adventure but also literary
• classics or contemporary
The idea is that we both have a copy, read one chapter a week and talk about it on weekends.
Thanks folks 🙂
