5 books to read if you hate reading📚

Reading books is a habit which comes naturally to some while others will have to develop it. Reading books is a habit which will be beneficial in the long run. Not only is it an escape from reality but sometimes it gives you solutions for reality itself. It will also improve your grammatical skills. Reading books is an experience in itself.

For anyone who does not like reading, I would suggest starting with thinner books and simpler plots which are easy to understand. Try and explore all genres. This way you will discover your favourite genre and before you know it, you will become an avid reader.

Below are  5 books that I would suggest if you are a beginner,

THE HARRY POTTER SERIES -JK Rowling 

This books is a series of seven novels but if you have seen the movies ,expect this series to be a hundred times better and if you have not,all the more better.

It is about the story of a young wizard, Harry Potter and the journey of him and his two friends, Ron and Hermoine.That being said, every character in this series is equally important and adds on to the thrill.

The initial books are quite simple but then the plot starts becoming more complex and thrilling.

Harry Potter is a series which cannot be summarized. It is a whole other world in itself and it will only turn you into a Potterhead.
