Of course I can help you decide! I just finished reading a really interesting book about the history of color in art. It's called "The Secret Lives of Color" by Kassia St. Clair. The author dives into the stories behind individual colors like why Prussian blue was such a huge deal or how the color pink became gendered over time. I found it fascinating because it covers both science and culture. If you want something lighter, I also recently listened to an audiobook called "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir. It's sci-fi but very funny and surprisingly heartfelt. The narrator's performance is fantastic. Let me know what genres you usually lean toward-thriller, romance, non-fiction? I can narrow it down more. Also, have you tried Libby or Hoopla? They're free through most libraries and have great selections. I've been using Libby for months and I love that I can borrow audiobooks right from my phone without even going to the library. Anyway, hope that gives you some ideas!

Actually, I've been on a non-fiction kick lately. Another one that really stuck with me was "The Art of Gathering" by Priya Parker. She talks about how to make meetings, parties, and even family dinners more meaningful. I applied some of her tips to a small get‑together last month and it honestly felt different. More intentional. Definitely worth a look if you host events or manage teams.

I can totally relate to that feeling of being stuck in a reading slump. What worked for me was picking up a graphic novel-something completely different from the dense books I usually read. I started with "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi and it was such a refreshing change. The combination of art and story made it easy to get through in one sitting. After that I moved on to "The Arrival" by Shaun Tan which has no words at all but tells an incredible story through drawings. That might sound weird but trust me it's powerful. If you prefer something with more traditional structure I'd recommend "The House in the Cerulean Sea" by TJ Klune-it's warm and funny and just makes you feel good. Also don't forget you can switch formats. Sometimes listening to an audiobook on a walk helps break the routine. I've been using my library's digital collection a lot lately and it's saved me from spending money on books I'm not sure about. Let me know if you try any of these!

Another thing that helped me was joining a very casual online book club. No pressure to finish by a certain date or write essays-just a group chat where people talk about whatever they're reading. I found it through a subreddit. It's nice to have a little community even if you only lurk.
