Hey friends!

[Kait Cicchino]

So I'm new and I'm here to get advice about how to bring reading back into my daily life. It's something I miss more than anything and for the past few months, I've really lost my drive to even pick up a book and I need to get back into my stories. Real life is proving to be way too much for me.

Welcome, Kait! We're happy to have you! What kind of books did you like best before you stopped reading? I'm sure we could come up with some helpful recommendations.

I read a lot of paranormal/sci-fi type stuff. I like anything but I found that I got into this rut and I felt like I was just reading the same stuff over and over again with every story I was reading.

Hi Kait!
Welcome!
My suggestion is to go visit a library and browse. Look for something completely different. Maybe even forget stories for awhile and check out some non-fiction books on things that interest you: history, art, animals, paranormal, fitness, nutrition.

If you've been reading contemporary work, and it is beginning to all read the same (big surprise there), why not go for some of the classic novels?

Our brains enjoy "cross-training" and need variety to stay happy. Give a taste of something different.
