My dad would love this book.

Hi all! My boyfriend isn’t really a reader, but I’d love for him to read a bit more, mostly so I don’t feel quite so guilty disappearing into a book while he scrolls on his phone 😅 But of course, I don’t want to force it if he’s not into it. So far he’s only read self-development books (finances, mindset, that kind of thing), but after a long day he’s usually too tired to focus on those and ends up on social media instead. That got me thinking about gifting him one or two lighter books for Christmas, something more relaxing and fun. I’m leaning toward fiction, but I mostly read romance and romantasy, which I’m pretty sure won’t be his thing 😄 Do you have any recommendations for books that are easy to read, engaging, and not too long (ideally under ~400 pages) that might work for a non-reader? I know this is kind of a broad question, but I’m open to anything. And if anyone has successfully gotten their boyfriend into reading, what books did it for you?

ETA: Some movies and shows he enjoyed recently are The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, House of Cards, Queen of the South, Knives Out, Lupin, Money Heist, and Avatar. Thanks The_BookishBug for pointing out that this could help give better suggestions 💛

Hi everyone - how do you use shelves? I’m interested in hearing about how people structure their shelves and what they like to gain from it. I haven’t used this feature yet so interested to see how I can play around with it :)
