Title says it all. I used to love reading , way back in the day . Now for downtime I just chill on my phone but it leaves me feeling gross and like I wasted hours of my life . I need good books. I don’t even know what to say about types of books I like . Historical fiction I guess ..? Pls someone help me .

Depending on what type of historical fiction you can try these authors:
Lynda Cohen Loigman
Jennifer Ryan
Lauren Willig
Their books are more of a light read.
If you are ok with more intense reads you can try Anita Shreve (Sea Glass is my fave) or Christina Baker Kline (the only one of her books I liked was The Orphan Train, but it really packed a punch).

Probably my favorite all time historical (also suspenseful) novel:
City of Shadows by Ariana Franklin (it is a very intense read, fair warning)

The Nightengale by Kristin Hannah is an incredible book. I listened to it as a free trial for audible.
Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate.
I really enjoyed Yellow Crocus by Laila Ibrahim.
The Kite Runner by Khaled Husseini is excellent, but quite graphic in some places.
The Help by Kathryn Stockett.

You can be frum and read books other than the ones you suggested. But your suggestions are great, I did chovos halevovos, it's stimulating and beautiful.
