I’m losing my mind on bedrest. Need book recommendations pls! Specifically prefer non Jewish.


What I read:
Sophie Kinsella books- just ordered the last few I haven’t read yet.
Jennifer Worth’s Call the midwife series
James Herriot's autobiographies
All the Gordon kormans
Ems life of your job& job of your life
And a few other such ems/dr autobiographies.


Did not enjoy Terry Pratchett’s Dodger- there was something about it I couldn’t get through.


Thanks for your help! Going to be here about 6 weeks iyh. Any and all book recs appreciated

I can go to the bathroom and other short short excursions. That’s pretty much it. No stairs no standing too long… you can call it very very low activity I guess😏

I do. And I like mostly light reading when I read for entertainment.

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty.
It’s funny and thought provoking.

If you like Sophie Kinsella, you should try Meg Cabot.

Like people said above, liane moriarty, love her books! Especially recommend Big Little Lies, What Alice Forgot, The Husband’s Secret, and Three Wishes.

Elin hilderbrand’s books are light, easy, beach read books. Very cozy. The Winter Street series which is made of 4 books would be great but any book can do.

Kristen Hannah is amazing as well.

I looked through my goodreads for my 5 star books. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is awesome, and I am the Messenger by the same author.

If you haven’t read Harry Potter yet, you can get into it now! There’s a reason it’s one of the top selling book series of all time. The first two books are written in a more childish style but once you get past those, they’re AMAZING.
