13 Books That Will Make You Fall In Love With Reading, This Summer

By Momina Mindeel | 19 Jul, 2016

Are you an unenthusiastic reader? Do you friends have to coax you into reading course books (or any kind of books for that matter) because you just do not feel inclined to do it yourself? Considering the educational and literary circumstances we are surrounded by, in this beautiful country of ours, this problem mostly arises because of our difficulty in connecting with the texts. It’s all good though because we have prepared a list of 13 reader-friendly books in order to help the reluctant reader in you.

1. The Misty Dusk by Madiha Anas

I started off with The Misty Dusk, almost 6 years back. The book has been written in simple language with tiny lucid details. It isn’t too long either and will get you kicking. The Misty Dusk is a quintessential reluctant love story with tiny cute moments.

3. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chobsky

This might be your chance to discover what “And in that moment, I swear we were infinite” actually means (yes, exactly the quote we all have been using as a caption for our Facebook display pictures). This coming-of-age novel is remarkably engaging with crisp, clear sentences.

4. Me Before You By Jojo Moyes

Yes, exactly. You have been waiting for it, haven’t you? The love story, although relatively longer than the above-mentioned fellow reader-friendly books, is written with simple yet an appealingly engaging language. You can finish it one go if you are a hopeless romantic, like me.

9. The Hobbit by JRR Tolkein

Are you tired of reading Harry Potter over and over again? Or have you never read Harry Potter before and are looking for a relatively less consuming book but on similar lines? The Hobbit is exactly what you are really looking for. It is basically the prequel to the famous Lord of the Rings series. No, you do not need to read the entire series if you do not want to (although, we recommend that you do) because The Hobbit is a complete book in itself.
