Escapist fiction. Nothing wrong with it. I love it. It's keeping me sane. VERY sane.
I love my classics.
I love my literary fiction.
But, I've had to put most of those to the side for now. I never thought I'd say those words, but my brain can barely hold on to what is vital and necessary.
I am burned out. Fully flamed.
Romance novels and cozy mysteries are saving me these days.
My life is HARD right now and I LOVE well-written romance. I've been having a great time reading (and DNFing) a few books lately.
Books I've loved lately
 |
| LOVE this series |
 |
| I normally cannot binge read cozies, but this series is different! |
 |
| Another series I binged I LOVE this one |
 |
| These books hold up well being read back to back |
 |
| I didn't expect to love this one as much as I did. AMAZING. The hero was delicious. |
 |
| NOT the typical age-gap TRUST me. I struggle with those and this was romantic. |
Books that have been okay-ish
 |
| I enjoyed this one. I don't do a lot of historicals. This was good. |
 |
| My first Tiffany Roberts. It was steamy. I really liked it, but it felt about 75-100 pages too long. |
What I'm reading right now
 |
| This is on KU! |
 |
| I've heard great things, and my hold finally came in from the library update: DNF |
If lightening up my reading has taught me anything, it's that it's all good. It's fantastic to read light novels with ONE or two (maybe) heavier reads to anchor it all down.
As someone who does NOT work in publishing, english lit, and is NOT a grad student in any of those subjects, I've realized just how much bookish content is made by those whose business or work revolve around the more intense novels.
Though it takes me out of the circles and conversations (let's be honest, people have called me crazy for saying I will focus on romance), I am in heaven now.
