Nothing can make me feel excited about "romance" or "gossipy" reads like Thomas Hardy.
Every time I want a lighter or just dysfunctional read, I reach for Thomas Hardy. I've been rereading Far From the Madding Crowd for the countless time.
I found myself DNFing book after book, and whenever that is the case, I have to pay attention to exactly what I am picking up.
I've toyed with ideas of returning to BookTube with a standard channel, and have revisited the reasons I left. They all hold up as true. I have decided to return (more later), but in a MUCH different way.
As spring break approaches, I have a plethora of books on my currently reading schedule and I don't care about dates finished/ page counts, or any other such thing. It's all about reading books that transform and change me. Books that can be companions with cups of coffee

I find that the more heavy-hitting, great literature I read, the harder it is to return to lighter, contemporary works.
It's a cold + sunny Sunday, and I am off for a slow treadmill walk while reading and planning what books will accompany me along my relaxing week's journey.
