Beach Read by Emily Henry This is my favorite Emily Henry book that I have read! I would love to see this turned into a movie adaptation. The way the characters are written is amazing and the way they grow throughout the book is really touching.5/5 Stars |

Happy Place by Emily Henry Also by Emily Henry, this book holds a place in my heart, it is the book that got me back into reading. I bought it while traveling and read it all on a six hour flight! The characters in this book are amazing as well! The character development within her books are always impressive and make me want to keep reading.4.5/5 Stars |

The Flatshare This book caught me by surprise! I didnt think I would like it much because of the way they spoke throughout it. (They are British) Once I got passed the language, this story was told very interestingly. I loved the concept and really love the way the characters connected.4.5/5 Stars |
What is reading?
Reading by definition is "a cognitive process that involves decoding symbols to arrive at meaning."
Reading to me though is all about stories and entertainment. I really enjoy reading romance books with happy endings,
but some of my friends enjoy reading thrillers where they don't have any idea on how the story will end.
Why Read?
I started reading the summer of 2023 while on vacation in Ireland. I was at a small bookstore in Dublin and the cover of "Happy Place" by Emily Henry caught my eye.
I started reading it on the flight back to the US a few days later. I was never a big reader before this book, but this book opened a new door for me.
I fell in love with romance books and I have read around twenty books since then, I'd say I am a pretty slow reader but I really enjoy
getting to the part in a book where I dont want to put it down.
How To Get Into Reading?
By no means do you have to fly to another country to find a book you enjoy, but going to a local bookstore
and browsing all the different genres and stories until you find one that peaks your interest is a good start into reading.
If you're into romance at all, I recommend picking up an Emily Henry book, as someone who has was never into reading before, her stories are quick enough to keep
you engaged but also have the story laid out in an incredible way. Another way is browsing the bestsellers on a bookstores website or online!
