Hi all. I’m 25F and work a stressful job that requires me to use several computer monitors for 10+ hours a day. Because of this, I’m trying to limit my post-work screentime.
I’m big into research, self help, and nonfiction in general. However, I’m looking to give my brain a break after work and decompress/lower stress levels. As such, I’m looking for easy and enjoyable bedtime reads!
I enjoy romance, thrillers, dark fantasy, humor but am open to all genres. Thanks in advance!

Hmmm. I’d look into a Lisa Jewell None of This is True – quick read, short chapters.
Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I just finished This Summer Will be Different by Carley fortune and loved it. It did take about 70 pages to get into it.
For romance I recommend Sophie Kinsella or Jill Mansell. I can blow through those books in under a day. Thrillers – Riley Sager, Chevy Stevens, Jennifer McMahon.
Emily Wilde’s Encylopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett and The Midnight Library by Matt Haig are both good books for easy but enjoyable reads.
Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams
Winterset Hollow by Jonathan Edward Durham
I recently read Good Material by Dolly Alderton & loved it so much more than I could have expected. It is a bit sad, but overwhelmingly heartfelt & SO funny.
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series is very light (British fantasy with British wit)
For non-fiction, you might enjoy Caitlin Doughty.
Carolyn Haines writes a series of mysteries set in Mississippi – 2 southern girls start their own detective agency.
I’m currently reading the Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman – fae, dragons, vampires, werewolves and librarians.
