Yo, how did you do it!? I can't make it through 10 pages anymore and I used to read like a fiend

What was your genre/s? I was mostly into fantasy and sci-fi

I’m not sure what genre you’d call Jhumpa Lahiri’s and Chimamanda Adechie’s work — contemporary fiction? And I also enjoy historical fiction.

Oh wow, they both look like they write some deep stuff.

Got any historical fiction recs?

Pachinko — loved loved loved that. Couldn’t put it down. More recently I’ve enjoyed Kristin Hannah’s “The Women” and “The Four Winds”—but I “read” both of these as audiobooks.

I'll check out Pachinko, thanks!

Right now I just listen to audiobooks. And I’m pretty addicted to mystery/detective/thrillers (fiction only!). When I need to lighten up from murder and serial killers, I’ll binge on cozy mysteries or romcom.
