Guide: Books to (re) get you into reading!
Let’s start with a little bookish education, shall we? Excluding the assigned reading in school, no book girlie starts to read for fun by picking up a classic novel, and magically finds her passion for books. From my own experience and book chats with readers, we all start with a popular book.
Now if you think “popular” and hear “overrated”, I am here to change your mind! I have curated a list of 5 books that are both popular among the book community yet have an easy-to-follow way of writing with a thoughtful plot and characters to suck you right into their world.
These books hold a special place in readers’ hearts and make up the foundation for my love for reading. Click each photo to dive deeper into the book on Goodreads!
