A book about new beginnings.

I think one will make a lot of us happy!! This lends itself to "up-lit" which is not a sub genre that I generally enjoy, but I think I can dip back into "healing fiction" and find something good that isn't TOO too for me.


Listopia list is Here: A book about new beginnings

I want to try to read A Midnight Library!

All Systems Red by Martha Wells definitely falls into this category. I'd say it applies to most, if not all, of the books in the series.

I'm planning to read A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through?. It looks at why a "new beginning" in space is so attractive to many, how it might work in practice, and whether it's a good idea.

I read that for a book club last month, and it is excellent. I read a lot of science fiction, so this is a subject I think about on a somewhat regular basis, and it went into things I had absolutely no idea existed. There are numerous illustrations, so I would suggest reading it with your eyeballs if that works for you.

Good to know, thank you!

This prompt opened my eyes to the fact that apparently new beginnings is totally my jam!

Almost all cult / religious upbringing memoirs will fit the bill, like Educated, Uncultured: A Memoir, and Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots.

Travel and moving countries - Eat, Pray, Love, My Life in France, Paris or Die, The Measure of My Powers: A Memoir of Food, Misery and Paris.

Lots of light fiction - Late Learner, Because of You, Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up, The List That Changed My Life.
