I went to my public library for the first time since I was in high school. Applied for a new card, since they didn't have any of my old records, and checked out 4 books. I only brought one with me for a trip this week, Sweet Bean Paste, by Durian Sukegawa, since it was together with the other "book club" books.
I'm realizing that I've really let reading as a hobby get away from me; I have no clue how to look for recommendations, or even what I'm really looking for in a story. I feel like a lot of the SciFi or Fantasy I've read since high school probably still fall under YA fiction, and I don't know if that's what I should still be looking at or not.
Welcome back to reading!
BrundleFly2077 has given a good suggestion. Other thing you can do is follow these weekly thread, this is from where I am finding new stuff to read (even though I still have list of hundreds of book that I want to read). Some people just share the name, but many also mention what the books are about, or how they are liking. So, look up what you find interesting and give it a try.
The more you read, the more you will find other stuff to read.
Also, some of the YA fiction can be pretty fun. Try a few and see if you like it or not.
Or you can share some of your favourites and let people here recommend you other things you may enjoy.
