I actively want to read a book. I’ll find a book I’m excited about, get about 10 pages in and then suddenly have no desire to read at all. I love reading, my Goodreads reading goal has been 45+ books a year for years and I’ve never had a problem meeting that. It’s almost the end of the year and I haven’t read a single book since March. I’m in a slump! I read like 4 really bad books in a row and I think I have a subconscious fear of reading now!
I need a book that’s interesting, fast paced, and short enough that I can get through it before my brain gives out on me.
My favourite books I read last year were Piranesi, Orfeia, Project Hail Mary, and Sparks like Stars. My favourite genres are fantasy, horror, historical fiction.
The books I’m currently a chapter into with no desire to finish reading (even though I don’t hate the story’s so far) are The Other Side of Mrs. Wood, The left hand of darkness, and Gear and Sea.
The last books I read that I didn’t like are The Actual Star, Light from Uncommon Stars, A Court of Thorns and Roses (unpopular opinion, I know).
