Best Novels To Read For Beginners

Hello bookworms! I wanted to share with all of you that I’ve recently reignited my love for reading a good novel and it has been such a rewarding experience. Life sometimes gets in the way and we fall out of certain habits, and for me, reading books was one of those habits that I sadly let slip away. But I am so glad that I have found my way back to the wonderful world that books provide. If you’re looking for the best novels to read for beginners, you’ve come to the right place!

The Magic Of Getting Lost In a Good Book 

For me, reading novels is more than just a hobby – it’s a passion that fills me with joy and excitement every time I crack open a new story. 

There is something so magical about getting lost in a good book. The way the words on the page transport you to a different time, a different place, a different life – it’s truly enchanting. I used to be an avid reader, but as life got busier and busier, I found myself putting books aside in favour of other responsibilities. However, recently, I made a conscious decision to prioritise reading again and it has made all the difference.

Prioritising Reading In a Busy Life

I’ve been diving into a variety of genres and authors, from fiction to non-fiction, from classics to contemporary works. I’ve been immersing myself in the stories of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, uncovering the complexities of racial injustice through the powerful words of Harper Lee, and exploring the intricacies of World War II through historical novels. Each book has opened up a new world for me, allowing me to see things from different perspectives and sparking my curiosity in ways I never imagined.

Exploring Diverse Literary Worlds

For those of you looking to start or get back into reading, I highly recommend picking up a book that speaks to you. Whether it’s a light and easy read to ease back into the habit, or a challenging novel that pushes you to think critically, there is a book out there for everyone. Don’t be afraid to explore different genres and authors, you never know what you might discover and fall in love with.

Recommendations for New and Returning Readers

Reading not only provides entertainment and escapism, but it also helps to expand your knowledge, enhance your empathy, and stimulate your imagination. It’s a wonderful habit to create, and one that I am so grateful to have rediscovered. So, if you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed, I encourage you to pick up a book and let its words guide you through.

For beginners looking to dip their toes into the world of fiction novels, I recommend starting with easy reads that will ease you into the habit of reading regularly. Some popular contemporary novels that are perfect for new readers include “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” by Gail Honeyman, “Where the Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens, and “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” by Heather Morris. These books are not only captivating and engaging, but also accessible for readers of all levels. 

All of these books are sure to provide you with hours of entertainment and intrigue. So, grab a blanket, a cup of tea, and get ready to dive into some great reads!
