From Romance Novels to Self-Help: Do Adults Even Still Read for Fun These Days…?

What books do you want to read?

Oh, the irony of this question. First off, let’s address the elephant in the room. Yes, I mean the 30 online journal articles haunting my to-do list like uninvited guests at a party.

They just sit there pretty, staring at me, silently judging my lack of motivation. Honestly, the thought of diving into them makes me question every decision that even brought me here in the first place.

But let’s shift to something less… academic and more fun.

Now, I wouldn’t exactly call myself a hopeless romantic though Aaron Pierre’s face keeps popping up on my Instagram like it’s some sort of personal challenge. (I mean, seriously, why does this man’s jawline feel like a public service announcement?)

Anyway, back in my secondary school days, I was knee-deep in Silhouette and Harlequin novels.

Those were the days, weren’t they?

Absolutely brilliant, loved them

Teenage me, lost in a world of brooding heroes and sweeping historical romances.

I’d devour them like a bag of crisps and feel like…

But now? Now it’s all self-help, personal development, marketing strategies, and investment books.

It’s not as dreamy, sure, but it’s definitely useful, for my growth, and I can’t even complain because it’s helped me level up in so many ways that I couldn’t even begin to phantom.

I just hope my book reviews and summary highlights lately have been worth your time because trust me, I pour my heart into those, or at least I try to be honest.

Still, I can’t help but wonder… will I ever get back to those guilty pleasure romance novels?

Or have I officially traded them for stock market guides and leadership strategies forever?

Alright, what about you, what’s on your reading list?

Something dreamy or something to conquer the world?
