as the title says i used to read a lot before and at some point like 4-6 years ago I just stopped reading now I just feel the motivation to start reading again
ps: tell me about the books that actually got you thinking differently
I'm so into novels but keep in mind that I'm an afro-arab so my English is good yet not perfect and I suffered before when reading English books and id appreciate your recommendations and thank you for your time

The Celestial Kingdom series got me to think of people differently and not see things so black or white. Without spoiling the book, one of the main characters did something awful to the main character. Despite this, she still helped him and at first I thought she was dumb 🤣 but then I understood where she was coming from. It really made me reflect on some of my current relationships.
