Reading is that one activity that helps us escape reality and let us immerse ourselves in another universe. The books we read make us understand the world better, form ideas, and give us a new perspective about different aspects of life. And some avid readers who have spent their lives reading books get inspired and even get the quotes, sayings, or learnings tattooed, so it becomes a permanent part of their lives.
Books take us places, places we have never been to before, places where we can’t go, places that don’t even exist, whether it is the fantasy world of Harry Potter or the world of heartbreak like in The Fault In Our Stars. Books can easily help us roam in different dimensions at different times.
But not all of us develop our reading habits right from the beginning i.e. our childhood, and when we become adults, we don’t know where to start from. It can be confusing and even overwhelming for many because of the diverse categories of books available in the market.
This is why we have curated a guide of hand-picked books that are refreshing, inspiring, and easy to keep you hooked.
