I'm considering The Name of the Wind or The Fifth Season

I got The Name of the Wind in a book exchange on Reddit like 5 years ago. I started it, and then we moved houses and I promptly lost the book, and it took me forever to find it again. I still haven't restarted it, so this might be the encouragement I need! I like fantasy-type books, but don't really read them because they have too much detail, so this is definitely outside my normal genre of reading.

Little Moments of Love. I've never read a graphic novel before.

My ideas:
Science related:
What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

Western:
A book by Craig Johnson

Fantasy:
Circe

Here is an idea for anyone who does not read Fantasy/Science Fiction: The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen. The first book of a triology. Had no idea what to expect as I only chose it because I liked the title (and fantasy). And, not even sure at first if I was going to like it but then, that Book Magic happened and I was drawn in and began living in the story. The setting seemed a bit Game of Thrones-ish but, there is an intriguing twist on the setting as the story unfolds which took me by surprise. I listened to this on an audiobook that I had interlibrary-loaned at the library. Excellent reader!

I don’t like fantasy but I started reading Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.

I am thinking of reading Children Of Blood and Bone as well as I rarely read fantasy.

I have read the fifth season... wonderful. I don't normally read crime fiction, but my not usual genre book is The Whistler by John Grisham... can't put it down, a page turner and highly recommended.

I just finished The Hazel Wood. It was surprisingly good. I don't normally read fantasy.
