[quote=Anonymous]- Another vote for getting a library card and going in person to browse. For a reader, there’s really nothing like it. You’re like a kid in a candy shop - sooooo much right there’s waiting for you - and it’s free! So you can have fun selecting books and trying anything that catches your eye without fear that you’ll be wasting your money.

- Also, it might be helpful to download the Goodreads app and create a free account. This way you can keep track of what you’ve read (and what you tried but did not like enough to finish). You can also keep a “To Read” list on there with all the suggestions you collect along the way. Plus it’s easy to find other books written by the same author, after you finish a book you liked a lot. I’ve found it really helpful over the years.

- Finally, when it comes to novels with happy endings, I agree that romance is a good place to look. There are so many kinds - contemporary stories that take place now, and historical romances that take place at various times in the past. Do you have a preference? If not, try some of each.

- Sometines it helps to ask yourself “Whose story do I want to hear?” Like what kind of main character do you want to read about?

For me, it sometimes helps to focus on an age group -  teenagers, and their coming of age” stories? (There are some GREAT ones out there that I’ve loved as an adult. Some were romances, but many were not. Good stuff.) Or people in their 20s just starting to become adults (new jobs, romances, friendships)? Or people in their 30s, often dealing with very busy lives and families? Or older - 40s/50s who are experiencing a big life change or reflecting on their past choices and next stage ahead.

If you have more ideas about the type of characters or time periods that interest you, let us know and we can make more recommendations.

Have fun!! [/quote]
