Should start reading novels more, feels like I’ve only taken the non-fiction route

I have other nonfiction book recommendations that are really good if you’re at all interested in the subject matter. These are just good storytelling.

Don’t hold back

Here’s a smattering. I can go into more detail about why I liked each one if you like.

Thanks need a new book so appreciate the recs
