Stuff like appliances, gadgets, etc. I always see the warranty card in there, and always think i’ll get to it eventually and then never do. It feels like a massive massive inconvenience.

Anyone else?

Hey guys. I was an avid reader when I was a kid but as I entered Middle and High school, I lost the habit. Just about a year ago I was gifted a Kindle and I've been burning through books again and It's something that fills my heart with joy.

But here's the thing. I just don't know how to "discover" books that I may like. I read whatever is clearly popular and I enjoy most of it - for example: Frieda Mcfadden (I'm sorry lol), Fredrick Backman, Khaled Hosseini, David Ellis.

But when i browse reddit, people have such different recommendations. Authors I have never heard of, series I have never heard of. HOW do I find books that would match my taste rather than picking up whatever is popular? In fact, how do I even diversify the genres I read and know what to pick within them? I read mostly mystery thrillers, and have rarely tried other stuff even tho for eg: Sci-Fi really excites me.

Please help me - any recommendations would be welcome.

Note: Book clubs and stuff are not a thing where I live. I do have a goodreads account but I don't properly use it except for tracking and rating my books.

I think i've only ever re-read harry potter in my life and that's also only because I was motivated by nostalgia. Wondering if it's common to do so and why you would pick up the same book again? What kind of books do you re-read - i would imagine thrillers/mysteries would be pretty boring to revisit.
