I’ve learned that rediscovering reading means choosing books that fit into life’s cracks. Graphic novels are a fantastic gateway—'Saga' by Brian K. Vaughan is a space opera with stunning art and addictive storytelling. For a quicker fix, 'This One Summer' by Mariko Tamaki is a poignant graphic novel you can finish in an evening.
If you prefer traditional books, prioritize ones with immersive pacing. 'Dark Matter' by Blake Crouch is a sci-fi thriller that feels like a movie, making it easy to dive back into. For lighter fare, 'Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine' by Gail Honeyman balances humor and heart in a way that doesn’t demand constant attention.
Don’t shy away from rereading favorites, either. Revisiting 'Harry Potter' or 'The Hobbit' can feel like catching up with old friends, easing you back into the habit. The trick is to remove guilt—if a book isn’t clicking, drop it and try another. Reading should be a refuge, not another chore.
Getting back into reading when you’re swamped can feel overwhelming, but it’s all about setting realistic expectations. I’d suggest starting with genres you already enjoy in other media. If you love thrillers on screen, try 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn—it’s gripping and hard to put down. For fantasy fans, 'The House in the Cerulean Sea' by TJ Klune is a cozy, low-stakes read that feels like a warm hug.
Another strategy is to pick books with strong hooks. 'The Silent Patient' by Alex Michaelides starts with a bang and keeps you guessing. If nonfiction is more your speed, memoirs like 'Educated' by Tara Westover read like novels but offer real-life inspiration. Don’t underestimate anthologies, either. 'Exhalation' by Ted Chiang is a sci-fi collection where every story is a gem, perfect for short bursts of reading.
Lastly, leverage technology. E-readers or apps like Libby let you sneak in pages during downtime. I’ve read entire books on my phone during lunch breaks. The goal isn’t to finish fast but to reignite the joy of reading without pressure.
I remember when I was too busy to read, and getting back into it felt like climbing a mountain. The trick is to start small and pick books that match your current energy. Short stories or novellas are perfect because they don’t demand much time. I’d recommend 'The Paper Menagerie' by Ken Liu—it’s a collection of emotional, bite-sized stories that pack a punch. Another great option is 'Convenience Store Woman' by Sayaka Murata. It’s quirky, fast-paced, and oddly relatable. If you’re into humor, 'Hyperbole and a Half' by Allie Brosh is hilarious and easy to flip through. The key is to choose something that feels like a treat, not homework. Audiobooks are also a lifesaver for busy folks. Listening to 'Project Hail Mary' by Andy Weir during my commute made me look forward to traffic jams.

***
I married Alex Marwood because our families said it was right.
He never chose me. Not once.
One lie from my stepsister ruined everything. I signed the divorce papers with a secret in my belly. I left, learned how to breathe again, and built a quiet life with two little cute humans who call me “Mom.”
Years later, fate walks through the lobby of my hotel in a tailored suit and the same storm-blue eyes my son wears. Alex stops. Looks at my twins. Looks at me.
“I’m sorry,” he says.
But where do I start? With the nights I cried alone? With the accident nobody will talk about? With the powerful people who would rather bury the truth than let me be happy?
Alex wants a second chance. I want peace. But when old enemies start circling and “accidents” stop being accidents, I realize love isn’t just flowers and apologies.
If he wants us back, he’ll have to fight for us.

I thought I had everything love, a husband I trusted, and a life I had dreamed of.
But one night, Sam Samuels, the man I gave my heart to, handed me a divorce. Not because he stopped loving me, but because the world, his family, and even my own, believed I was never enough.
As I watch the people around me scheme and manipulate, I realize I’ve been trapped—not just by a title or a marriage, but by expectations I never asked for. The white moonlight from Sam’s past returns, and his family’s pressure grows heavier. Every step I take is watched, every choice questioned.
I am Anna Vale, the woman who suffers in silence, who bends to survive, yet secretly dreams of freedom. But when the man who left me suddenly wants me back, I face a choice: forgive a love that abandoned me, or reclaim my life and finally break free from the chains of family, wealth, and heartache.
A story of heartbreak, betrayal, and slow-burning love.
Will Anna let Sam back in, or will she finally choose herself?

The distance.

Content Advisory
This collection explores mature themes and may include coercive situations, violence, emotional manipulation, degradation, multiple-partner dynamics, and other dark relationship elements. Reader discretion is advised.
I remember falling out of reading for a while because life got too busy, but 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho brought me back. It’s short, philosophical, and feels like a warm hug. The story follows a shepherd boy chasing his dreams, and it’s so easy to get lost in. Another great one is 'Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine' by Gail Honeyman. It’s funny, heartfelt, and about finding connection in the weirdest places. If you want something light but gripping, 'The Martian' by Andy Weir is perfect—it’s sci-fi but reads like a thriller with a sarcastic protagonist who makes you laugh while stranded on Mars. These books aren’t dense, and they remind you why stories matter.
