Hey, so I’m new to reading (as embarrassing as that statement is) and I am interested in hearing what books very experienced readers would suggest.
Little bit about what books I’ve enjoyed thus far:
First book I read trying to get into reading was the song of Achilles and I absolutely loved it. I love history and although it’s not a true story putting myself into that time period was so much fun. Naturally right after that I read Circe and loved it even more than the song of Achilles in a lot of ways. I then read the first book of Harry Potter and loved it but for whatever reason I’ve been hesitant to start the second book I think because I kind of want a taste of that historical fiction vibe again. Anything you guys could suggest in that realm would be awesome!! It doesn’t have to just be Greek mythology style I’m also really interested in reading some fiction about Persia.
Also if you have suggestions completely unrelated to the books I’ve read but you feel like the story telling/writing style is similar to what I’ve enjoyed thus far I’d also appreciate hearing those recommendations.
Thanks!!!
