I really love reading but for whatever reason I struggle with actual books and not the graphic novel adaptations. For example I tried to read a few pages of Orwell’s 1984 in a bookshop and couldn’t get past the second page but I finished the graphic novel version in an afternoon. The only books that have kept my attention as an adult have been the Hunger Games series and the Delilah Green series. I can muscle through books but that takes away the joy of reading and I don’t want it to feel like a chore. Any advice or suggestions would be helpful!

First of all, it’s totally fine to only read graphic novels and comic books. Reading is reading and there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to read. Reading what you want!
If you’re really motivated to expand your horizons, have you considered trying audiobooks? I get mine free though my local library (via Libby app) and I listen to them while I do chores, commute, exercise, go on walks, etc. Something to think about!
Have you tried something in say Urban Fantasy, to be a bit more action-y and attention grabbing?
