    So, I've been trying to make fantasy/romantasy/romance happen for me because that has been the genre pervasive on tiktok but aside from some exceptions, I just don't think I genuinely enjoy those books.

    Below are some books I've really enjoyed. From what I can gather, I mostly like contemporary fiction that is rooted in reality with characters that feel real and that have some grit. I also like a thriller/mystery but it's not my prevailing genre. The romance is more of a B plot rather than the A plot. I like historical fiction but admittedly I am burnt out from WW2 historical fiction after reading The Wartime Book Club (which was not great), so I think I need a break from that.

    Here are the books I've really liked:

    My sister’s keeper

    A thousand Splendid Suns

    Kite Runner

    The Help

    The Nightingale

    Big Little Lies

    The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

    Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

    Good Girl’s Guide Series

    Before we were yours

    Gone Girl

      Life of Pi, by Yann Martel for that contemporary fiction via a different culture vibe.

      The Flashman series by George MacDonald Fraser for historical fiction. Hilarious, scandalous, and educational all wrapped together.
