I started reading last year, mostly productivity stuff, but now I’m really looking to jump into fiction to unwind after a long week of uni, studying, and work. I need something to help me relax during the weekends without feeling like I’m working.

I’d love some recommendations for books that are short enough to finish in a day but still hit hard and are totally worth it. No specific genre preferences right now. I’m open to whatever. Looking forward to seeing what you guys suggest. Thank you very much in advance.

    I read all of Piers Anthony and I kind of regret it, but his body of work just joins hundreds of other trashy novels that I read. I don’t really read as much junk as I used to.

    For my own recommendation, I’d probably go with Mistborn. It’s reasonably short and pretty fun to read without being awful.

    For a completely different kind of novel The Secret Life of Bees is really quite wonderful.
