I was an avid reader as a kid but I fell off after middle school, now as an adult I want to get back into reading but I’m struggling to figure out what to read and am overwhelmed by the amount of choices. Anyone want to try and give me some recommendations for more adult books based on what I used to like as a kid? Some of my favorite books were:
a series of unfortunate events (by far my all time favorite as a kid and still holds up as an adult imo), everlost, anything ronald dahl, goosebumps, spiderwick cronicles, cirque du freak, anything john steinbeck
Im definitely into adventure, fantasy, maybe a bit of mystery, horror adjacent is fine but straight horror isn’t really my taste. Fiction preferred, but it could be historical fiction. Im open to any suggestions, I haven’t really read anything past what was required in high school so Im sure there are a lot of classics I’ve never read and would probably really enjoy. Apologies in advance if my request is a bit too open ended, im really up to try just about anything and Im struggling to narrow it down
Thanks!
