I used to be a super avid reader through high school and college, but I’ve definitely fallen off that boat in my mid to late 20s. I’d love some suggestions for books I won’t be able to put down that will help me get back into it!
For reference, in the past I loved “Where the Crawdads Sing” and basically anything by Barbara Kingsolver. Suggestions don’t need to be in this exact vein/genre, just wanted to give a starting point! I’m open to basically any suggestions, and the only things I’m really not super into are fantasy books (but I’m still willing to try if you have something you love!).
TIA for your help!

Wild by Cheryl Strayed is a really compelling memoir about nature! I enjoyed it a lot.
Grandma Gatewood’s Walk by Ben Montgomery. It’s about this 70 year old woman who just decided to go walking. She hiked the entire Appalachian trail 3 times and walked the Oregon Trail. She is a legend in the hiker community.
Braiding Sweetgrass. Non fiction but incredibly beautifully written.
I loved where the crawdads sing. Lots of pretty imagery there, and it’s just an overall good read. Fiction, murder mystery, romance, sweet.
I love Charlotte McConaghy. Migrations and Once There Were Wolves were such powerful female stories with strong themes of nature and conservation.
