Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a book that would be a good and enjoyable read. Something not too basic I.e. not for beginners, not TOO advanced, just kind of in the middle - challenging but understandable. I'm a ba'al teshuva and I've learnt all the basics and a little more. I'm interested in everything. If you could recommend any book you've read and loved on anything from prayer to Jewish philosophy to women to spirituality, kaballah/mysticism or any topic I'd be very grateful. I guess I'm saying that it could be on any topic so long, as long as you've enjoyed it 
Thank you in advance

For something a little mystical and out of the box, try Ruchama King Feuerman's "In the Courtyard of the Kabbalist." It is a fun read with very memorable characters. It was not written specifically for Jewish audiences but is a Jerusalem-based Jewish story.
(This is a novel. Are you looking specifically for Jewish halachah/philosophy? Or light reading too?)

I'd recommend Holy Woman by Sora Yocheved Rigler, it's a biography about a woman who went through a lot of challenges and I found it inspiring
Also the Rebbetzin Kanievsky biography was great (put out by Artscroll), and A Tzaddik in our Times is another biography I loved.
These are all the kind of books that focuses on the character traits (middos) of these people and I find myself saying 'if I can do a little of that I'd be a little greater!)

All For the Boss is a classic that I will never tire of rereading (or laughing out loud while I read, or trying to model in my own life!) It's a classic for a reason - enjoy!!!!
Exiles of Crocodile Island is officially historical fiction but taught me so much and is incredible on so many levels.
Second a Tzaddik in Our Time.
Sparks of Glory - R' Moshe Prager (war-oriented but wrenching).
Novel-ey? Inspiration only?
