Books recommendations thread - add your own

It stated with this - I did read 254 books in 2023 hence upped my target. I read on Kindle so easy to track. This target doesn't include audible books or physical books.

So if you are interested in reading but have hit a slump, want to start reading, looking for recommendations ask away & hopefully I can convert a few more viners into readers.

PS I'm always on the lookout for a good detective series.

My brother also reads really fast and he has somehow identified a method to skip fluf. He usually skips these paragraphs. Do you have any tips and tricks for people who want to read more in less time? I am one of them

Hmm start with short stories - take less time & help you build speed. I read on Kindle so I always have access to my books wherever I am. Also I don't use insta much - feel it's a time suck. So whenever I'm waiting at a place - gym class to start / doc etc instead of scrolling insta reels I read

Read whenever/ wherever I get time. I take uber / ola so I read in transit / commute, at lunch, and at night. I'm a fast reader so that helps. Also traveling, in flights
