I loved reading books as a child/teen and now I've been trying to get back into reading recently but my preferences have changed since then. I'll put a short list of what I'm NOT interested in right under this, any recommendations are appreciated and welcome!
- no Magic
- no Dystopian
- no Fantasy
- little to no romance
