I feel like I'm being super picky lately. I've been passing on so many books that I would normally read for the taboo factor. Cheating, bro's/BFF's ex - These things, especially have been giving me the ick.

Anyone else find themselves suddenly filtering out certain things they used to read without issue?

Dagmar After I got back to reading (burned out at work, books were the last thing on my mind) I started with shorter romances - you know the type low angst, high lust :D I managed to read 330 books last year (most of them were on the shorter side to be honest though). And for the last four months I've been gradually leaving that microtrope or how to call it behind and looking for more substantial things and actually looking for angst *gasp*.

Just the last week I found myself looking at some books that I found would normally interest me but I wasn't ven able to finish reading the blurby how fast I got bored :X It's probably not the same, but I feel ya! :D

That's EXACTLY what I'm going through. 💗 I think I will start with some shorter books, and see if something can catch my attention.

I actually felt kinda bad for reading so many "leisure" books if you know what I mean, but then I though, who the f cares, I'm reading for pleasure. And it turns out it doesn't last forever, and it got easier to go for more substantial things once my brain recovered enough :D

Hope it works out for you:)
