My apologies if this is not acceptable here.
I'd never read a book in my life, and I randomly had an urge to try read one. I started off with the barefoot investor which I thought was great, probably more so for what I learnt rather then the adventure.
So then I thought I'd read "The Alchemist", a nice easy book for beginners… I thought it was outstanding.
I got halfway through "no exit", which I did thoroughly enjoy id say the first 1/3 of the book, though I came a little bored by halfway and decided to stop. It was great. Just personally I thought the plot was just dragging out a bit. Still a great experience for me though.
Now I'm about 30% through "Dark Matter". I am loving this book so far.
What's even crazier for me is, trying to find a genre that I like has been quite hard, but I'm absolutely falling in love with something id would never have thought of in a million years.
From the very small interaction in "no exit" where there were physical interactions between Darby and Ashley, and from the scenes in Dark Matter with Jason and his wife, I generally think "romance" is potentially my favorite genre?!
Like I'm just amazed at how these books are taking me away and the feeling I'm getting and just being so invested. It's truly amazing.
I feel like there is so much to learn for me about books, different authors and probably a lot more I'm still yet to even know exists.
None of my family or any of my friends read, and I'm just so like excited and happy about reading and I've just wanted to talk about it and haven't had anyone to express this too haha
So here I am I guess. Maybe not even in the right subreddit, but I look forward reading future posts and recommendations and yeah I guess I just wanted to tell someone I'm excited to be here 😂
I hope you're all doing amazing.

That’s wonderful! Congratulations on opening up a whole new world for yourself. Many libraries, coffee shops, even bars have monthly book clubs. Might be a nice way for you to meet other readers.
this is definitely a great place to come to! I would recommend downloading Goodreads – you can keep track of the books you read, but you can also read a “preview” (the first few pages of other books you think you might be interested in.) If I’m unsure on a book, I’ll read the preview and then borrow from the library if I think I’ll like it 🙂
Sorry if it’s not the right place for me to write this, I just really want to get into books and share experiences and I don’t know like join communitys where I can talk about books.
I don’t know how to explain the feeling I have, I just don’t know where to start and I really feel like this is something that I never thought would be apart of my life, though now I really feel like it’s going to be.
Mazel tov!
